Peaks and troughs

Life is made up of peaks and troughs. A down is usually followed by an up, and vice versa. I've found this to be a double-edged sword. On the positive side, whenever you feel crap or something lame happens to you, you can still have hope because something good will probably follow. But then, whenever you feel great or something awesome happens, something average is likely to come up next. I agree with Charlie Brown wholeheartedly when he says:

Unfortunately, the fact that something good generally follows something bad doesn't seem to be consolation enough to assuage this fear. Is there no winning?
