Once when I was about 7 or 8 I was at an amusement park, and I was waiting with a bunch of other kids for the chain swing ride. I was at the end of the line. It felt like we were waiting forever, and when the previous bunch of kids had finished their go, the attendant opened the gate to let us in - it was finally our turn.
Except there were only enough spots on the ride for everyone in line in front of me. The attendant unceremoniously closed the gate in my face, and I stood alone as I watched all my peers have an amazing time on the ride. They were having so much fun.
The ride ended and all the other kids moved on to the next ride. I had waited so long, that I thought I might as well take my turn, and I sat alone on the chain swing, not a soul on any of the other swings, stone faced, swinging around and around and trying to make the best of it when I really just wanted to cry
Poor Montaigne patiently waited her turn and now she has to watch everyone on the Eurovision chain swing have fun without her. As someone who can clearly relate, I feel for her
hate the song though
