The "Roller Coaster" of Life

The ups and downs. The highs and lows. I'm kind of sick of this "roller coaster" called LIFE! I don't quite understand how a life (mine) can go from being so good to so bad in a matter of moments. I'm not trying to say that I have a horrible life, because I really don't, but it's so up and down. I just want it to be consistent, stable. I often feel like my life is like this:

This "roller coaster" has many ups and downs, just like my life. I often feel like my life is going great and then something has to happen to mess that up. I hit a really high high and then a really low low. To be honest, it's annoying. Being on edge and often worrying about what is to come gets annoying. I wish I could live in the moment, but I really can't. Maybe that's my problem. Am I just waiting for the next bad thing to happen?

I don't want this post to sound like I'm some sad, depressed teen because I'm not. In all reality I have a great life. I have a great family and wonderful friends. I know that when this "roller coaster" starts to go down I have people to lean on. I am blessed to have so many close friends and family to help me through the good and the bad. Through out this "roller coaster" I know there will always be ups and downs, but I can make it. I sometimes feel like I can't, but deep down I know I can. I found this quote and I think it fits perfectly:

"Life can be like a roller coaster....

And just when you think you've had enough,

and your ready to get off the ride and take the calm, easy merry-go round....

You change your mind, throw your hands in the air

and ride the roller coaster all over again.

That's exhilaration....that's living a big on the edge....that's being ALIVE."

So in conclusion life is always going to be a "roller coaster." I can either gripe and moan about it OR I can hop on and see where the ride takes me.
