Magic is not on my mind when I take out this picture from some old albums and decide to post it. I took this during a visit to Sentosa Underwater World in Singapore in 2014. It had since been closed down in June 2016. I read that the animals are being transferred to another aquarium in China.
I found a poem online at random and post below to reflect both sides of life one may stand at the same time.Inside and outside.Which side are you now?

Aquarium
The world is an aquarium
We all have a tank
With a paragraph of information about us next to our tank
When people see you they notice your looks and move on
If you are a tall skinny blond boy with blue eyes the girls will stop and get to know you
If you are a shorter boy with brown hair who has acne and is wider people might just move onto the next exhibit
The people in the tanks can’t tell what they people on the outside are saying
But they don’t care
They are all unique and they know that
People will always judge but they are not the ones you should try and impress
You are the only one who can truly judge you
Reblogged this on Marsha Ingrao and commented:
I love this poem and the picture that goes with it. On the way to Sedona yesterday my friend Darlene and I discussed “being worthy” as opposed to being “either lacking in confidence or feeling proud that you are great or good at something.” As one who often cares too much what people think, this poem is a good reminder that we all have value because we are unique.

That is a great poem! I love the perspective it gives from both sides. Never thought of life like that.
