Life Comes Fast and Leaves Even Faster

I have had some interesting few weeks behind me and many yet to come. I feel well, lonely, confused, and a tad bit unstable for picking my future. But, all is well! I jumped out of an airplane and experienced how life can seem to disappear right from underneath you. When I jumped you would think that I would be scared or nervous about my life but, actually I was thinking of the past and what the instructor told me to do to prepare myself.
Such as;
1) Have fun
2)Arch your back
3)Cross your arms.

The easiest instructions I have heard but for some reason I was so paranoid to do them exactly and found myself thinking so hard on those easy instructions that i missed the one thing I was trying to focus so hard on, HAVING A BLAST. It kind of reminded me of life. Here you are about to take your BIG step and follow your dream that you have been waiting for and right when the moment comes to feel "free" you are captivated by everything behind you and get so worried to make it feel "free" that when the moment came you already lost it. That seems to be the way things have been going for me so far. Now, Skydiving was amazing and I will be jumping again very very soon! But, it just went to show me that I can jump with my eyes open and enjoy life without having to worry about my instructions, be mindful, YES, but, not have to be so focused that I lose the thrill!

Recently I had been told by a very near person that I should slow down on my list of things I want to complete but, I have to say "Live life to is fullest! Take in every available breathe and never let it go cause, who knows one day you may lose it forever?! Life comes fast and leaves even faster!"
