Rollercoaster of Life

Post-Birthday Blues

Everyone has ups and downs in life. Life's tough. It can't be good all the time. Obviously. So, life is a rollercoaster. The question in, what kind of rollercoaster if your life like?

Type A: The boring kind of rollercoaster. Nothing much happens, it's fairly straight and narrow. These are the kinds of coaster where there are only a few dips, it's very safe and it feels like it's going on forever. These people seem content with life but never really seem like they're having a great time, like they're estatic with the way things are going. That said, they never seem miserable.

Type B: These rollercoasters are the adreneline pumping, fast one. Loops, swirls, upside down tracks and such, the kind where you get off buzzing and just want to go again, because it seemed like it was just over too quickly. People with coasters like these seem to live the high life. They get everything they want out of the ride. It's all smiles and sunshine for them.

Type C: These rollercoasters are the kooky ones. There are enormous loops that leave you with that empty feeling in your stomach. There are long stretches of track that do nothing and just make you want to get off. There are tracks that lead to a high point, leaving you giddy and thrilled, before plummeting to lows that are unbelievable - the kind that are responsible for you throwing up in a bin when you get off.

There are probably lots of other rollercoasters, but these are the main ones. I am a type C. Undoubtedly. I have definate high points, where i feel like i'm on top of the world or higher. There are moments in life when i feel so giddy with happiness that the world spins. There are stretches of monotony so long that i can't stand it and would no anything, anything, anything to avoid them, which i unfortunately cannot do.

At this present moment in time, i'm i have just fallen from the top of one of those highs. Now, this could be one of two things. Either i've fallen into a regular one of those plummets that last indefinately... god forbid, because i hate those... or, i'm just coming off the high that was my birthday weekend. Much fun was had, so maybe it's just the fact that i am no longer the person that people have to be nice to, rather than just a backgrounder, that has led to some major post-birthday blues. I'll let you know as soon as i figure it out.
