What is the most alive you've felt lately? 1

Me and a group of my mates went up to the biggest hill in our area and watched a storm system come in, there was lightning all around us... it was literally spectacular. Being that close to death is more empowering than any drug experience I've ever had.

Haven't felt any more or less alive in quite awhile. Last time I can recall to even equate to that feeling was when I still had my bike. So few things really compare to flying down the road with nothing between you and asphalt except 2 wheels and balance.
I actually wrecked it like the first day I had it. Brand new tires, heavy sediment covered road and sharp turns just don't match. Luckily I wasn't hurt. Injury saving instinct seems to transfer quite well from BMX to motorcycle.
I sold my bike years ago though. I plan to get another some day.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Fuck that shit I'm a man. I don't need help from anyone, especially not a bitch like centrifugal force. My bike stayed up right powered solely by my masculinity and super advanced sense of balance.

Haha, ok close to death might be an exaggeration, but there was lightning strikes all around and the storm did pass directly overhead. We went up in 2 vans... the craziest thing is there was other random people up there too .
Don't you people ever venture off of this woven web of computers into the ...outdoors... ?

Well last weekend i went to the grateful dead fare thee well shows in Santa Clara and felt very alive and happy, and in awe, it was beautiful. But the last few times i went backpacking i also felt very alive, i went to a nearby hot springs off of the river and hiked a good 24 miles in a few days. Also just certain moments where something big is happening, like when my best friend got back from Thailand, or when one of my other friends moved away, other events. i feel alive a lot. i also trip a lot.

I'm more interested in stories than a bunch of cynical responses... You must do some crazy shit right?

Not really. There's nothing worthy of exploring outdoors for many hours of a drive from where I am. I can drive for an hour in any direction and still be in the dead center of refinery/city territory.

It's 4:30 am. I'm too tired to do anything but shit post. But yeah.
I smoked a bong with my finger and got second degree burns.

It didn't make me feel alive. But it's some crazy shit I did.
I'm an adrenaline junky so I have a decent chunk of stories of legitimately crazy shit I've done and not just stupid alcoholic benzo induced jack ass stunts.
Maybe I'll post them once I sleep off this shit posting slump I'm in.

Hate to rag on you but the only time I considered close to death in my life is when I was actually dead for 2 minutes,drowned while my body and limbs were turned to mince meat.Couldn't move my legs for several days. I was only half way through the lvl 5 rapids so I tucked my bloody useless limbs into the rubber and finished the river. I have almost been shot,I've been set on fire,several car accidents,untreated alcohol poisoning,almost impaled by a seven foot steel rod by a few inches etc.
Watching Storm systems rolling in is not nearly what I would consider near death experience unless shit strikes you or next to you. Yeah there's some danger but not much.
Anyway I do know what you are saying about feeling alive watching a violent thunder and lightning storm. I've had lightning lighting up the sky from siide to side in huge cracks of Mythical proportions.
That just isn't a near death experience and I have a feeling you will get a lot of shit for this but don't let it get to you to much. i appriciate your story you uust exagerated way too much.

Cliff jumping for the first time while tripping a few weeks ago. Im super afraid of heights, start getting shakey and sweaty just from being on a ladder no more than 1 story. I was only planning on swimming and not jumping, but went up the trail near the 70 ft. Cliff to smoke a blunt with my buddies because the L was kicking in. I walked up and looked off the edge and got the worst feeling ever,like the same feeling i have when i dream of falling off a building or something. I decided jumping couldnt be any worse and just went for it, and i for sure thought i was going to die during the freefall which lasted a lot longer than it should have since i was tripping haha.
When i swam up and got my head above water all the anxiety and fear was gone and I felt the best I have in years. Real close to the feeling of having a close call on a motorcycle, but making it or going too deep on psyches where you just want to be sober and never trip again then coming dowm. Just happy to be alive lmao.
