Discovery

Sometimes, without knowing how much you’d regret it, you could be hesitant, saying ‘no’ – but then, plummeting down, you’d never know that you’d lost the very thing you’d been seeking. And by then, of course, climbing out of the downward fall would be impossible.

But sometimes, even though you might think yourself reckless and impulsive, you could say that simple word ‘yes’, and the meaning of your life would go soaring upwards, almost in slow motion at first, like the start of a rollercoaster ride, then taking you on an exhilarating journey of discovery. Discovering yourself. Discovering him. Discovering us.

YES! I say ...:)

Indeed!!

Thanks for such a 'positive' comment!! :)

Like the way that the final phrases in their structure mirror the sweep up and down of the rollercoaster...they're also simple after the complexity elsewhere as your Sean thinks through the turns and twists of emotion he goes through.

Thank you Alex. I did wonder about putting the 'down' side first, but I think the coming out the other side worked!

That is wonderful and really positive, put like this, I feel. I love the structure and imagery with the rollercoaster.
Thank you!

You're welcome - and thank you for such a lovely comment.

I did try for 'negative' opposed with 'positive', so I'm glad that worked. :)

I like the idea that just by saying "yes" to something that may seem a bit scary at first, it could completely change your life in a good way. And I could imagine that it would be very hard to Sean to say 'yes'.

Thank you very much; I'm glad it moved you.

In the words of the song, "one never knows, does one?"
