Roller Coasters and Being Told We're Right

The average length of a roller coaster is 3 minutes. but ours has lasted 9,434,880 minutes.

this high school roller coaster is reaching it's peak and we're about to free fall.

and before I fall I want to reach the heavens.


I want to look down and say that these 18 years have been good.

maybe not exactly how I wanted or planned

but good.


And for the first time in forever

I'm looking ahead to the drop with excitement.

The adventure ahead is a new, exciting endeavor.


I've reached higher than I ever planned

and lower than I ever imagined

but it's made me who I want to be, and it's all grand.

Thanks for the outstretched hands who lifted me up

Thanks for the outstretched hands that dragged me down

And although I will admit it's messed me up.

 

In a good way.

 

 I hope at the end of this ride

 

there is a confirmation that where you're heading

 

is right.

Because all of us want to be told we're right and this roller coaster isn't stopping.
