"Her life had been like a pretty messed up roller coaster ride"

I'm clearing through some old junk around my room and found the terrible sentence above in a paper I wrote, dated April 9th, 2005. It made me laugh and realize how much I've grown as a writer (and as a person in general). In fact, 5 years from now, I'll probably find the things I'm currently writing naive or childish. Future Andy might find some of the things painfully dumb or just plain bad writing, but will also see the progress he's made and that is a very positive thing.
