Bottom

I've been thinking about the word bottom.  It seems we're a bit conflicted about it.

Bottom can mean a good thing, or a bad thing.
It can mean the underside of something, or the backside of an animal.
It can be cute, or it can be matter of fact.
It can be the place you fall to when you're absolutely out of luck and alone
or it can be the where you start when you're about to do the impossible.

Bottoms are great.  I am at Rock Bottom right now, and I feel better than I have felt in a VERY LONG TIME.
I am taking charge of my life, my resources are my own, and the decisions I make now will affect everything that comes after, but they are mine alone.  I am beholden to noone, and soon, will owe nothing again.  I am my own person again, for better or for worse, and God, have I missed that...
