| Whenever
I look at this photograph, I get this sense
of freedom. To walk up to the edge with
my arms out, head held high, eyes closed,
lean forward and free fall. The thought
cross my mind when I took this picture.
Being on top of the building in a nice clear
day with a small breeze, looking down at
the street seems to do that sometimes. Is
it a suicidal tendency, a need for freedom
or a need for an adrenaline rush?
When I took this picture,
I was definitely in a need of an adrenaline
rush. When your up there, for the split
second when you have your eyes closed and
wind blowing, not knowing whether or not
you will fall forward is truly a rush. Just
to feel completely alive again. I've been
through some trying times of late and that
feeling would of been a breath of fresh
air. A feeling that I haven't had in a long
time. Is it because I've matured since then.
I haven't felt like that in a long time.
Is this the same person who been knocked
around the head so many times he couldn't
even remember? Is this the same person that
was shot at no more than ten feet away?
Is this the same person that hung out the
window of a car going 90 km/hr? Is this
the same person that went para-gliding?
I haven't felt that sort of
rush in a long time. But why haven't I been
taking those types of risk anymore? There
were so many things I wanted to do or accomplished
that I have yet to. Things that the old
me would of done in a split second without
a second thought. I still have yet to get
my motorcycle license, go bungee jumping,
and skydiving to name a few. I realized
that the reason of me feeling dead inside
has nothing to do with the lack of excitement
in my life. But I've also realized that
with everything that's going on in my life
a little of craziness might actually help. |
