I am here, again, alive

Oh, don’t you just love it when you feel it? When you hear your heartbeat getting louder and louder, it eventually muffles any voice and sound surrounding you. When you could feel pulses running through the course of your whole body, but your lungs are at ease? When your focus is pinpointed only on one thing and one thing only? Oh, the joy, the joy! You know it, you know it. You’ve been waiting for it. You know it’s coming. The fever. The good kind of fear. The curiosity of wanting to do, just do. The thrill of chase…Moments away before deciding to be catapulted to only where you know where you are aiming for. The freedom to choose while never forgetting to bring an extra band-aid and parachute. Off into the air, betting against the wind and gravity, then you’ll glance up staring at the sky only to realize how vast it is, then down where everything seems smaller than smithereens, in that state of mind, you’ll know whether you might die or survive, but you know you are alive. Oh, you are alive.
