Life is a cycle in which human actions are predictable patterns.
Just like the lunar eclipse, our life is a repetitive compilation of cycles. We can relate much of what we know about eclipses to our own lives. A few times in a year we start a new cycles within ourselves. A cycles that nobody can predict nor see, but only you yourself. This sensation which we realize is unquestionably real, but there is no word to define it. The best way to describe this feeling is by construing it metaphorically to events that are tangible.
A roller coaster ride at Six Flags is a perfect example. Think of a phase, or chapter of your life as one round on the roller coaster...all the ups and downs represent the hardships you have experienced and the happy moments that you couldn't live without (coincidentally the camera on the ride that captures your happiest times can act as the camera that captures all your happy moments in real life). The anxious feeling of the ride reeling you to the top symbolizes the troubles and hardships you've gone through. Finally, you are at the top seconds before the drop, and the feeling is unbelievable. It seems like you can't turn back, but yet you don't want to see what's coming up ahead. This part of the ride is the period of your life cycle in which you feel sensational, a feeling you know won't last forever. The whole coaster "tour" is your cycle. Once you get off the ride you wait in line until the next ride phase of your life begins. This is the beginning of a new cycle, and the downtime is identical to the times in your life when you are uncertain. But once the ride starts again, time flies, emotions peak and dip to uncertain depths, and friends come and go.
I just know that this is the start of a new cycle...
