So I have to admit, I've developed a fascination for roller coasters. I love the rush, I love the fear of not knowing when it's going to drop or turn, the speed - basically the entire adrenaline rush. The higher, more dangerous roller coaster - the better. I wish I could take this same approach to my life. I'm not always as enthusiastic when dealing with unexpectedness, especially when it comes to matters of the heart. In fact, instead of being the fearless one in line, I tend to cower away..afraid of being hurt.
I've lived the majority of my life, wanting to please. I'm non-confrontational. I want to get a long with everyone, and when things don't work out like that - I try to be the peacemaker and fix whatever problem there may be. My brother is always telling me that I am way too nice, and I need to get mean; but that's just not me. I've had my heart broken more than a few times, dealt with rejection in the work force, relationships, and friendships. I definitely have the cuts, bruises, and scars to prove it. But when I reflect back on things, they don't seem as bad now - as they did then. A few incidences are even quite comical. Which makes me wonder, why did I let it affect me so deeply? I am stronger than that; and I know that now.
As Lil Wayne said. "Life is like a roller coaster and then it drops, but what should I scream for, this is my theme park."
Life is going to be a series of highs and lows - but ultimately we have to take control of our own lives and be willing to learn from our mistakes, heartache, rejection, and even haters. Without these experiences, even though they may be painful at the time, we wouldn't know what we are truly capable of, or how strong we really are.
