"fifty...............
forty-nine..........
forty-eight.........
the seconds seems to crawl and every emotion was hightened. the guy behind me tilted my head back level with the horizon, chuckled, and reminded me to breathe. a few seconds into my complete bliss he interupted with a gutwrenching "ready?" as he grabbed my hand and we tugged on the cord until the chute snapped open above my head. only one thought ran through my mind.....
i will live to try it again!!
it was the longest 60 seconds of my life, although it wasnt near long enough. i dont think ive ever had so many conflicting emotions going through my head at once the moment that parachute opened. relief. exilheration. disapointment. all i wanted to do was make it to the ground so i could go up again. but it was a sunset drop and i soon got lost in the sun setting beside cabos famous arc. moments later we were preparing to land on the beach where my friends resided, and i got butterflies in my stomach. my feet touched sand and we awkwardly skidded to a stop, and before i could brush the sand off my jumpsuit, jason was extending out my vitory beer. iwithout saying a word, he could see the look in my eyes and said "see, i told you would get addicted"
and thus a new addiction was born.
