No One Told You To Do That, Not Even You

Some years back, the thought first entered my mind. Many people I knew had taken the leap, and they told me it was one of the greatest experiences they had ever had. They said "you have not lived until you've done it." What a bold statement. Especially when I'm standing there breathing. But with a co-sign like that, why would I be opposed to experiencing it for myself. My interest began to grow. We can't keep doing the same thing. We all have to be able to switch it up sometimes. So instead of sitting back observing others, being jealous, afraid, anxious, nervous, too cool, I felt it was time to live. But guess what, living requires a bit of risk. *Beating a dead horse* "Is the risk worth the reward?" I'm basically signing waivers saying it's on me if it doesn't work out. What type of chit is that? What made me do it?

Who the hell knows what made me do it. But these are the facts: the risk was definitely worth the reward, I survived, and I will do it again. Wait, I don't think I'm talking about skydiving. I'm actually talking about the "opposite of lust", you know, the L-word. Some of you may think there is a difference, but actually, there is no difference between falling from the sky and falling in the opposite of lust.

I know what you're thinking; you can die from one of these, that's the difference between the two. Nope, that is not the difference. People die skydiving as well. Its just, skydiving is not as bad because most likely you wont experience death and torture.

If its a guy's first time being in the opposite of lust, he doesn't know what to expect. I know I didn't. Rhetorically, I ask myself, "what made me do it, what would make any guy do it?" Unfortunately, its like a bee sting. No matter how many swarming bees you kill, one is going to sting you and you will not see it coming. There is nothing a man can do about it. If you ask any man, he will tell you that when its good, there is nothing he wants to do about it.

Unfortunately, like skydiving, the free fall in the opposite of lust has to come to an end. The parachute has to get pulled. The jumpers have to land......and if you have the heart, you jump again.
