Roller Coaster Vs Love

“Love is like a roller coaster…” -Unknown ("Roller Coaster Quotes"). In many cases love is actually like a roller coaster because of what happens through the ride. You can get on and enjoy the ride and keep wanting to do it again or just walk away, everyone’s different. Love is a feeling that you get and can not really control when you are in a relationship and all you want is to be with your significant other no matter what happens (“Love”). Roller coasters are fun amusement park rides that have many ups and downs and twist and turns; some people scream and just can not wait to get off, others stick their hands up and enjoy it. People who can relate to love know how it can be exactly like a roller coaster. Love and a roller coaster may be

There are people out there who either once they try a roller coaster they love them and want to keep going on them or people who are too scared to try it after the first. Same with love, if you experience heartbreak and go through how painful it is, you may just want to walk away and never try to find someone or put yourself out there to try and feel the way you once did. Both of them can take your breath away, roller coasters more literally! Increase in heart rate is very common in both because you feel the adrenaline and you’ve never felt anything like it before. The more severe similarity between the two is death. They both can kill you or increase your risk of dying. When someone loses a loved it can be heart stopping, literally. In some cases this is true because you can have an increase in having a heart attack by twenty-one times within twenty-four hours ("Heartbreak Can Literally Kill You, Says New Study”).

In one year alone, 2011, 37,154 people were injured at an amusement park and of those people, 1,177 were announced dead or had to go the hospital for serious injury (“Petrecca, Laura, and

Love and a roller coaster are complementary in many ways, but there are some obvious differences. For one, a roller coaster is an amusement park ride that you can physically see and feel and while it makes you feel like love does, love is a feeling from the heart. Love is a feeling of affection shared between two people while a roller coaster has many people at the same time involved experiencing the same thing. Once you are done with your ride, you can easily get off and go do something else or take a break. With love, there is no end. It’s an endless feeling that you should feel at every hour on any day whether it is a good or a bad day. Love can also teach you a lesson as you go through it and can help you grow. A roller coaster is just some fun thing to do as recreation. There’s a saying that “money can’t buy me love”, and this is true. Love doesn’t have a price on it, but a roller coaster does and if you do not pay you can not ride. Another obvious difference is the restrictions that roller coasters have. If you are a certain age or height you may not be able to ride, but love has no limits. No matter age, height, gender, color, love can exist and be experienced.
