In the film Parenthood someone is talking about how complicated life was and the grandma says -
"You know, when I was nineteen, Grandpa took me on a roller coaster. ...........Up, down, up, down. Oh, what a ride!............. I always wanted to go again. You know, it was just so interesting to me that a ride could make me so frightened, so scared, so sick, so excited, and so thrilled all together! Some didn't like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it."
I think that is such a poignant quote - she is talking about life in general being like a rollorcoaster but you can also relate it to love.
Its so scary that something can make you feel all those emotions all at the same time and seperatly! I think most of us would prefer all those ups and downs and whirlwinds of emotion though than just feeling the same thing day in day out!
The weird and wonderful world of love . . .
