I think it's fine to have an up-down-up-down structure, but that one of the lows, probably the second one, should be significantly "lower" than the other one. Otherwise it does just feel like a repetition. Maybe experiencing the first low helps in some way in overcoming the second. Or the first foreshadows the second. But they should be discernibly different, and each should play a role.
