When do you feel most alive?

Post Reply New Topic

i feel most alive when i'm either paintballin with ma local team (i always work alone but help out where i'm needed) or sailing at high speeds in my topper(1 man sailing boat) or kayaking down the river ness!

The other day I was guiding people my friend and her grandson through the zoo with a map. I was confident and fully in control of myself. I don't know about the "most" but I guess that is an example.

creepy

I feel alive when I'm singing infront of people

I feel most alive when I'm swimming in the ocean, and the waves are tall.

When I'm running. Singing. Playing hockey. Horseriding. Thinking. Listening to music. Breathing. Doing math or science in a quiet environment. Doing art.

when i have a guitar in my hands

Working with electronics I have been shocked and embarrassing large number of times. I would say the the powerful jolts from a large capacitors discharging into me has left me feeling afterward a very strong sense of being in live.

mmm serious girl. that sounds amazing. i used to dream about flying under the sea and still have a fascination with sea critters.

i am at my happiest when i am doing tricks on the flying trapeze or winding myself up in tissu then tumbling downard in the twists and knots only to climb back up to start again.

When I'm analyzing something.

During a thunderstorm.

On the beach.

Alone

At 3:00 AM

Front row at a concert! Which is bizarre since I hate crowds, being close to people, and overly loud music. But when I'm there, I'm thinking "this is what I live for."

When randomly travelling for fun. Road trips, aimlessly driving on country roads to no where. When I'm in weird out of the way places away from everyone like in the mountains. When at abandoned places that people claim are haunted and its dark. In cemeteries. During natural disasters. Last year we had 2 tornadoes, tons of damage, lost power for a week and during them I was driving around watching the crazy lightning and enjoying the show. I grew up in CA. and enjoyed the earthquakes. Went to hawaii once as a teen and stole my moms rental car in the middle of the night, drove out to the volcano, climbed a fence into the retsricted area and walked on the lava paths torwards the volcano til it got too fresh and the soles of my shoes began to melt. I just had to get as close as possible.
