Life is...

There are a lot of "Life is..." quotes. "Life if like a box of chocolates", "life is pain", and the classic graduation speech metaphor, "life is a roller coaster". While quotes like these are super cliche, they're cliche because they are pretty accurate. Sometimes a roller coaster is the greatest thing in the world, there are stomach dropping moments and occasionally, you get hit a loop that just completely throws you off track. And its always after the high moments where you feel like nothing can touch you that you get the biggest drops that, if you're not properly tied down, you can be completely crushed. Whats the worst is when the ride stops and instead of speeding through the track you end up stagnating, or worse, having to walk out and take the slow route, ruining the magic created by the meters of track intertwining like a huge maze. While you finish the roller coaster more exhilarated than when you started, sometimes the dips and lows in the middle can ruin the highs created.
