A puddle A swirl-pool.

In life, there will be times when falling down actually makes you look up and see what's really in front of you.
Mistakes are proof that you're trying.
There'll be times when a surge of new emotions blurs your thoughts, and you'll experience first-hand life as it really is, not as how you read about it.

Deliberately dipping your feet in quicksand is a fault. Suddenly finding yourself in a puddle when the sky's darkened grey and it's raining isn't. I love the rain. The fresh feeling. The slight chill. The blues of it. There's a certain beauty to be recognized and appreciated in stepping in a puddle in the brick-paved streets when it's pouring. Some curse the gloomy weather, the cold humid air, and run away from the rain, finding shelter, but you acknowledge it, embrace it, appreciate its beauty. Nevertheless, understand that you need to step out of the puddle.

Because in life, certain things attract you with their beauty, and and at times you find yourself sucked into the swirl of excitement it causes. There's a beauty in everything created. Important thing is: don't get too attached to them. Learn to differentiate which is good for you, and which may harm you. Observe, experience, analyze, learn, decide.

Now, as I'm kind of caught up in swirl,as when being swept in a swirl pool, I look around for the the beauty that attracted me into it as my surroundings turn blurred and unfocused. I try to remember how was it that I ended up in this. I wait only for time to pass till my foot, which has gracefully slanted towards the ground,  touches it. This magic of swirl-pool, I have enjoyed.
For a swirl-pool is a God-given natural phenomenon. There's a certain beauty to it. But be warned that letting yourself be kept in it..will probably get you drowned.

Average people learn from mistakes. Intelligent people learn from others'.
