Life is like a roller coaster it has its ups and downs. But for some of us life is an extreme coaster. It goes upside down and backwards, then right side up and sideways. The roller coaster of life sometimes goes so fast we start to miss the moments, and we forget to just enjoy the ride. Recently I've found myself going upside down and backwards. I feel a little lost and scared like a child their first time at an amusement park. I have found myself in tears all too often. I've been tired and winy and overwhelmed. my mind is a chaotic mess. life is passing me by and I don't know how to slow it down. I'm not getting the fun, adventurous side of the roller coaster. All I'm getting is the anxiety, the fear, the headache and that uneasy feeling in my stomach. But every once in a while... every now and then, the ride slows and I have a moment to enjoy the little things in life. Sometimes I get to dance with my favorite person without the music. Sometimes I get to be held in the arms of my love. Sometimes I get to sit around the camp fire with my friends having late night conversations, I live for that. So yes, life may be an extreme roller coaster with ups, downs, sideways',and backwards. but the ride has ups, the ride goes forward, and for some moments the ride slows down so you can remember to smile.
