So...We all know those dreams where you're falling, right?? Well, how about the ones where you're skydiving and your parachute won't open? Or you're bungee jumping and the cord snaps and breaks?? What about the one where you're hundreds of feet above the ground riding a unicycle on a tightrope, all the while juggling fire? Oh, and there's no safety net...just the cold hard ground welcoming death to those who dare slip...THIS IS MY LIFE. I don't know how to ride a unicycle, and I sure as heck can't juggle...so why am I way up here on a tiny wire trying to do it all!?!
...Okay...So I'm up here on this tightrope, clueless as to what I'm doing and things just start going wrong. The wind starts blowing, the unicycle sways, my hands falter, and I fall. And I keep falling...but now...I've come to a conclusion.
...Those seconds that I'm falling...are the greatest. At that point, I have nothing else to lose. The feeling of nothing holding me back and the fear of not knowing exactly how it will end...are ABSOLUTELY THRILLING!! Who knows?, I could die on impact...or I could be a modern day miracle and walk away from the fall untouched. This is my life now...
...I'm free falling. Nothing is there to stop me...no wires, no chutes, no nets. Just the slight chance that someone will come out of nowhere and catch me...and still, there's no guarantee that that someone won't be crushed underneath me when I come crashing down. Oh well, I'm really loving these last few seconds before I hit the ground.
