Life, in all I've known of it, is not necessarily a roller coaster...

It's like riding a cloud: sometimes it will like you and be strong and sturdy and hold you up, and rain on other people's parades - and other times it will be wispy and apathetic...and then just float away and leave you there wondering where all the good times went.

I dunno, that's just the way I see it. If it's not the way you see it, make up something better. ^^
