Before you can go down, you’re always going to have to fall down from something. And usually, it’s not the smoothest ride. We obviously abhor the times we have to go down. We hate it the same way a kid would hate to go down from a carousel or the way a student would hate to see her grades go down. I don’t think that’s ever going to change.
"From there, it’s absurd how everything seems so little and how little everything matters."12/20/2014
The best ferris wheel rides are usually centered around the same main idea as the imaginary social ladder we people have: how high you can go up and how fast you can go down. The up, where the excitement and anxiety build up to heaps of nervous giggling, where you try to hold on anything for dear life, and where you take in the view from above. From there, it’s absurd how everything seems so little and how little everything matters. And the part where you go down, when adrenaline smoothly kicks in and you scream at the top of your lungs— of ecstasy or fear, it doesn’t matter, just that you can let go. But in the end, we all fall down to the same ragged road.
