One of the biggest joys of being an adult is when a mortal fear you had as a child becomes something you love. As a kid, I was terrified of roller coasters. Though I’m sure the height, speed, and screams played into it, the seat of the fear was something more existential. The stomach-drop feeling you get when plunging off a lift hill is a physical sensation, but I think I was more afraid of what that feeling represented—the idea of being strapped into a runaway train completely out of my control, a ride I was powerless to stop.
