Life is a ball of yarn,
Rolling,

Tumbling,
Getting tangled in the cats’ claws.







Leaving a trail behind it for the world to see.

I like this. A ball of yarn can go through so much, as can people. We can be knitted to make something beautiful, or be crafted to make something unattractive to the eye. From what i've read so far, you have quite a take on life and the many paths it can hold. :) Keep writing!
