I'm pretty much a friend hoarder.. is that a thing? No. Wait. That wasn't the word I was looking for. I am selfish when it comes to my friends, and I don't think there is a word for that. You want to spend time with my best friend? Nope. You think its cute to call MY best friend your best friend? HAHA you're funny.
I know they are not a possession that can be claimed, but they are still considered MINE in my mind.

I cherish the time I have spent getting to know my friends personally and emotionally. I don't like having to share that connection with anyone else. When I am unable to see my friends due to work or school and distance, it makes me that much more selfish when I see them doing well without me.
Almost like I'm left out. But, oh well. Life moves on, and being selfish isn't so bad.
I find this quote completely wrong, and to some people I might be labeled odd for that. If you know me at all, you'd understand. However, for those that don't, let me enlighten you a little bit.
In a personal sense, this quote is wrong because I HATE really dislike roller coasters. I stand at about roughly 5'0" barefoot, and like to be firmly planted to the ground. On a weekly basis, I hear remarks about how short I am or how my brothers all got the height in the family. To be honest, life might be a little bit different if I was 3 to 5 inches taller, but why worry about that?
Of course being a music enthusiast, I had to find a song that shared my thoughts on the matter.
NeverShoutNever! - On the Brightside
Although I'm not "roughly 6 feet tall" I like to think of this song as a ode to being able to being happy no matter my height or problems I may face with my height. Certainly, your reasoning of lyrics may be entirely different to mine, so don't hold me to that definition!
Anyways, back to why I find this quote wrong. In a literary sense, if you analyze this quote as a life quote, many people will disagree with it. When talking about life, a roller coaster symbolizes the ups and downs of ones crazy lifestyle. Why would anyone like a crazy roller coaster ride that takes you plummeting to your bottom only to make your heart rise up and feel like you want to throw up? Not me. I'd rather stay on the ground viewing the beauty of what's around me.
Unfortunately, we can't all be Augustus Waters. His positive attitude, and naive way of thinking. Well, maybe we can.
"I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend."
Anyways, that was my Thought of the Day. I hope you enjoyed my little snippet, and pray that your roller coaster is a lot smoother here on out! Even if there are a few ups and downs, it's always nice to reach that moment of clarity and peace. Until later!
