From The World According to Me: 

Life is a bungee jump except the first leap is not of your own choice. The only thing you can do after that is continue bouncing up and down until it's over and hope the cord isn't to long for obvious reasons. Come to think of it, short isn't good either.

The point is to remember that the ride doesn't last long. So face the world with open arms and love one another. Don't hit your head under the bridge over petty differences. You may not get a second chance to bounce back to the safety of a person who loves you!

Oh, eventually the ride stops and you'll be somewhere in the middle swinging at the end of a giant rubber band. Take the time to look around and realize just how not scary it was after all. Don't forget the fact that you are finishing just as you began... upside down, a little wet and tethered!

What a ride!!!
