Life is winning free admission for a day to the most fantastical amusement park in the world. The gates open and you run willy-nilly trying to do and see as much as you can. You eat too many hotdogs, nachos and funnel cakes. You ride the biggest roller coaster and barf it all up. You laugh about it and get in line to ride it again. Later, when the fireworks begin, you realize the day is coming to an end and you haven't seen or done a quarter of what there is to see and do. You've had a long day, you're exhausted, but that doesn't ease the pain of knowing you'll soon exit the park through the front gate, get on a trolly that will take you back to your car, and never return again.
