30 Things I've Learned: #9

-Do something that could kill you. 

My second best Valentine's day ever occurred many many years ago with a friend of mine.  He drove down to Dallas and we went skydiving.  Nothing says love like jumping into the unknown hoping your parachute opens. It was amazing. 

The rush of adrenaline - skydiving, bungee jumping, racing cars, hell maybe for some people it's as simple as swimming in the Ocean or going to the top of a tall building. Do it. Feel scared. Feel the body tense up into the tightest ball of stress and then instantly release. This is what it means to be alive.
