If I had to choose between being invisible or flying, I’d choose the latter. I’ve practically been invisible all my life, and I won’t complain I like it. I’d love to fly, feel the adrenaline rush of falling, take a dive into the air and get back to flying again. I mean of course I don’t want to get bruised in the process, but oh how much do I love the funny feeling in my chest when I face stimulated danger.
I’ve been trying to put my zip-line experience into words for many days now, and nothing seems fit. Now now, it’s not just any zip-line, it’s the world’s longest - 2.8 kms, and one goes tearing through the air at a speed of 160-180 kms/hr. You’re so insignificant and so high up the mountain, helpless and in air. The world below you is so small yet so vast and you can see the terrain all formed up. Above you is the endless sky, if you look up you lose balance, if you look down you lose a bit of your breath.
I have never been so scared yet so ecstatic, both at the same time. I was scared the first 4 seconds after they set me free, once the rush kicked in I had never felt so euphoric. I had never felt so alive. I may sound dramatic but I could feel the happiness coursing through my veins and taking rounds on my fingertips. While the cold air dried my mouth and froze my face, the view below me warmed me up. Yes I had the same view from where I barbecued that day, but nothing beats the view I had while I was flying. I screamed out of euphoria throughout my flight. I screamed as much as I could, at the top of my lungs. I laughed. I felt fearless.
