Walking on the edge

[This post originally appeared in Dullicious, where I blogged as Barbie-dull for several years.]

I was walking on the edge of the sidewalk and I kept losing balance and nearly fell several times. Then I walked in the middle of the sidewalk, on an invisible line, without swaying, without fearing to fall. The vertigo of walking on the curb is not as appealing as walking safely on a line in the middle of the sidewalk.
