Last weekend I went skydiving for the very first time, and it was ridiculously scary. My heart kept beating wildly and as soon as they opened the doors once we were 13,000ft up in the air, I felt like I was going to die, yet as soon as I was about to leave to jump I saw this quote by Leonardo da Vinci "
As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death. " and so I though, life is about chances and experiences, life is about memories, and I when I jumped I no longer felt petrified, but instead felt free, as if saying "if this is life, then I welcome death", I felt as if death was just there to contrast the beauty of life, and that for me is the true thrill of life.
