Roller Coasters

This has been an ongoing story for a while now. You cannot simply have a perfect life. Life is like a roller coaster. It's a ride that goes up and down. On the bigger slopes, it goes up slower than the rest. It goes up with all of the good things happening. But then you get to the top. And all of the sudden your falling. You loose everything that you've been building up in a fraction of the time. Some people say that roller coasters are fun, and others are scared. But how can you not be scared? You loose everything that is important to you when you least expect it. So I am not scared. I am terrified.

Sometimes on a roller coaster you can close your eyes. You can try to forget what is happening all around you. Or you can watch something. You can be completely mesmerized by something that you forget everything wrong, and it all feels right. It happens so rarely, but it works. In a roller coaster, it would be the view. In the real world it would be love.

There are different ways that love can make you or break you. It's the worst in your teen years. People don't know it yet, but their self conscious is craving a relationship that exists only in a Nicholas Sparks novel. They think that there is a chance for anyone to be their own personal love story. In that sense, teens date way more than adults do. That also equals more love failures.

Other teens follow the nature course. It is, with nature, to reproduce. That is where the sex-crazed idiots come from. People end up ruining their future because they are a teenager and have a baby. What people need is neither crazy love, nor sex. They need reality.
