Pin

Chances are you've never tried to do a pirouette. The first time you do it, you're kind of wobbly, on an uneven surface, and then all of a sudden, you're soaring. Like being suspended from a string or a pole, that stretches you out from your head upwards, and your toes downward. And then all of a sudden you're down. Except while your spinning, and the pirouettes that follow your first, you are no longer on earth. You could come crashing down at any moment, and you almost feel like you will, but for some magical reason (if you can actually pull it off) you stay balanced. But if you don't have room to crash, that can be pretty scary.

Now take my description of a pirouette, and try to do one, on the tip of a pin. A pin. Balancing on this surface, turning round and round, feeling like you should be falling off down into the abyss - but you're not. You just keep spinning and spinning, on the tip of pin, while death and hell wait below and you can't figure out why you haven't fallen yet, and everyday you wake up thinking 'today i will fall' except you don't?

Welcome to my life.
