Life is full of tests that have the ability to end in liberation or misery. It is an amazing thing to be alive – That being said, the next time you are in a body of water go under and hold your breath for as long as you can stand it. Until your body starts shaking, until your lungs feel like they are about to retract and explode through your ribs, until your head feels woozy. When you finally come above the surface, that deep breath will make you feel more alive than you have felt in years. The relief of the physical tension and mental panic is almost ecstatic. For a split second, you will know what it means to feel alive.
No one feels that anymore.
