You know that saying "Life is Like a Roller Coaster"? Well in the last few months I feel like I have been riding one behemoth of a roller coaster.

This looks about right- my roller coaster. My life has been so full of ups and downs and insane twists lately that I think I might just throw up. So the question is, do I grab onto the head rest and close my eyes just wishing, and waiting for the ride to be over. Or do I throw my hands up in the air and smile- just enjoying the ride?
I'd say that the first option, crying like a little girl and holding on for dear life seems like the easiest option, but there is just something to be said for having the courage and determination to just face those corkscrews head on with a big bold smile on my face. I would like to think that I have the capability to be constantly enjoying life and smiling all the while- but in all honesty I don't.
I can try my best but I fall short every once and awhile. That's why I am so grateful for my faithful family and friends who are there to remind me just how great life is. I know that without my buddies and my parents and siblings, I would be a sobbing mess just screaming for someone to get me off the roller coaster. I am very blessed to have so many amazing people in my life who wish to see me complete the roller coaster of life with my arms raised high in the air and a smile on my face.
So thanks to all of y'all who are sitting there next to me on the roller coaster and cheering me on- you mean the world to me!
