Ah life is a roller coaster so they say. All you have to do is hold on tight and enjoy the ride. No worries or cares at all in the world. Isn’t that nice? Well I am here to tell you that life is NOT a roller coaster. In life, you cannot possible know which way you are going to go. Your life cannot be designed and built to your exact liking although you should try. You cannot just sit back and let the journey take you wherever. You can’t go for seconds. But don’t worry! Life is way more than a roller coaster. You get to be in control and decide what your life is going to be. Sure life may be predestined like a roller coaster but there are way more surprises in life than any roller coaster could offer you. So save the roller coasters for something else. Forget metaphors to try to describe life! Life will always be more precious and beautiful than whatever you try to compare it to. Cheers to the adventures ahead in 2015. I’m starting off the year with a trip to Arizona — see photos below!
