Life is like a Roller Coaster













When you look at it from outside, you see a variety of twist and turns, complicated structures, frameworks, ups and downs.
So you think it looks exhilarating and you decide to hop on.
Alongside you, you see people that are ready to ride with you. People who are only tagging along because their friends told them to. People who are happy to ride alone. People who desperately try to convince their friend to go on because they don't want to be alone. And people surrounded by friends. Which person are you?
And then the ride begins. Up up up you go. To the very top. As you wait in anticipation for the moments that will come later. Anxious and excited you become as you near the top.
Then suddenly, the drop comes, the spins, the loops, the unexpected jerks to the side, and the pleasure of the unexpected. The anticipation of the next surprise. And the pain of the things you dreaded to begin with.
Then as suddenly as it began, you come to a halt.
Was this ride everything you had thought it would be?
