Roller or coaster?


outsider: Are you ever down or depressed?
isac: I'm a roller coaster, really.
outsider: Funny, I've only ever seen you 'Roller'.
isac: Yes, well, when 'coaster' hits....

It's funny how with the Roller, we actually don't notice how it comes about or even control it. We are happy, period, and that moment is PRIME. Yes, outside sources (them damn boys, silly squirrels, snowflakes) can trigger this giddiness, but we can't really turn Roller on or off.

Coaster, on the other hand, is usually self-inflicted, either from hours on end waiting by the phone (them damn boys), misinterpretations, bad hair, or just a general bad state of being (a bad vibe cortesia)

You can't force a Roller, but you can stop a coaster. Interesting.

Ahhh, who am I kidding, one phone call from the right person, and a coaster vanishes into thin air and in comes Roller...

last night a coaster hit me...you are right how it is mostly self-inflicted...but those moments when crashes occur can also be very eye opening when the bliss of the roller takes us up high above the ground and thru the clouds.

One cannot exist without the other, can it? You need the Coaster for the Roller, and vice-versa. What goes up must come down...and go up again, like you said, "thru the clouds".
No more wine for alone for you, Jenny-girl!
