Falling
Today I stood on a ledge...and jumped.
I threw myself into nothingness. Lept with reckless abandon.
I let the wind drown out all the voices, all the people, all the opinions that have been stalking me. Plaguing me.
For one brief, magnificent window of time...I let go.
I was free.
Today...I went skydiving.
And for the first time in a long time...I lived.

Dear Ms. Linny,
Thank you for everything. From the little random letter you sent a few years back to helping me get my edge back and everything in between.
"It's never to late to go skydiving"

Wow. I am so impressed right now. Tell us more...
I ski dived about 5 years ago and absolutely loved it. I couldn't hear anything but a high pitched noise for 2 days after it but I didn't care. I loved it. I swear for the first 10 seconds after jumping out, I was trying to figure out how to get back in the plane but after that it was great.
Well that is a very good birthday present to yourself.
Skydiving for a birthday treat- wow! My mom just went a few weeks ago and I couldn't believe it. You ladies are nuts! Happy Birthday!
I like your writing style!
