i rode *this* particular theme park ride last night. it was the first time i’d ridden anything since high school and much like the many “first times” or “first time since”s that have presented themselves in my life these past few months, the sensation that comes with forfeiting complete control over everything you think or feel or touch for a minute is what i needed.
your body is forcefully being swooped at all angles in all directions, holding hands with gravity and shoving it around all at the same time. blood rushing through your head in mid air is an effective way to clear your mind. i will try to remember that :)
i also rode the ferris wheel for the first time ever! ferris wheel operators that allow your carriage to come to a hault at the top for an appropriately brief amount of time are kind, kind people.
(or at least their managers that force them to do that are.)
