Up, up,up we go. Graduation then moving out, 1st decent check, and 1st car. Then, the turn and twists come. Sudden and rapid, quick and short. Small things leading to big change. Schedule conflicts and missing out. Petty clapbacks and backhanded love. Surprise distance doesn't come as a shock to certain friends. Weddings and babies and aging while you're not sure if you're growing up. Then the descent. Is it quick and shallow or slow and deep? Emotions and fates clicking into pace one after another. Ca-chick. Ca-chick ca-chick. Ca-chik ca-chick ca-chick. Ca-chick ca-chick ca-chick ca-chick ca-chick. And you're down. Gasping for air that just doesn't seem to be enough. Drowning in the floods of life. Fighting tooth and nail against yourself, the world, the universe, against life and fate. Wondering if anyone else knows how steep the drop is or how the ride will end? Does anyone know the answers to the silent questions you never asked? Is there another turn of events ahead? Is there a twist that changes nothing of your everything or everything that amounts to nothing in the bigger picture? Another loop happens and everything is upside-down but yet not wrong. Time has passed. Realizations hit and you're upright again. Big things are smaller and you've gotten older and so much has happened that just flew by. Breathing again as things slow down. The ride isn't over but it isn't so scary and overwhelming anymore. Sitting back and welcoming it, looking behind at how far you've come and who's there riding along with you. Life. It has its crazy ups and downs and twist and turns but for the first time in a long time I can say I'm no longer afraid to step up to this ride. I hope you hold on tight and see how it ends too.
