Roller Coasters and Relationships.

They are always slow at going up, Your getting to know each other but then they can drop to the near bottom right before your eyes. You take a quick left and a sharp right. Then you enter a dark tunnel. A tough and stomach dropping feeling and you never know what is on the other side. You know either way the ride is going to end but how? When? Where? That is the joy of jumping on and just going for it.

Now we either continue to take these rides for the addictive feeling, the adrenaline rush, the chemical change in your body. Or we opt out for good. The feeling is unpleasant and too scary for us. We stick with the kiddie rides. Ones you can get off real quick and you know they aren't going to go too fast or too slow. We keep it comfortable.

For us that keep coming back for more, we either get on by a dare or a fantasy. We know that the ride has a beginning and an ending. We know there are no promises and very little sense of security but we are intrigued by the feeling of the unknown.


If you go in with fear you never let your self actually enjoy the ride, you become weak and loose control. If you go in too strong you let your guard down too quick and you take the ride for granted. You never know when its going to end. But when it does end your the one confused and shocked and usually disappointed.

You must go in with knowledge of the ride, the risks that you are about to take, the possible falls that you cannot control. You need to sit back and observe the ride before you jump on.

Get an understanding of the history of that ride. I'm not saying to listen to others who have already rode the ride and their experiences. I mean for the way it was built, the ones who make it run, the ones the made sure it makes to turns easily and drops down but with the courage and strength to come back up. That way you have a slight amount of awareness for the unknown.

Never jump on a ride expecting too much or too litte, you will usually become disappointed. Once you get on a roller coaster or a relationship, its hard to get out. Be well aware you are ready to take that risky ride. You can not control how fast they go, when your ready to slow down, when you want it to go up or ready for it to take a turn, but you can control how it makes you feel and how it affects you.

Be sure when you take those rides in life you learn lessons and take the positive outlook when it ends.
