What makes you feel alive?

As the topic suggests... sometimes being happy seems so difficult. And being thankful such a chore. Starting the day like a job we hate. Beginning it like swallowing ten tablespoons of devil made cough syrup.

Because, somehow, along the way, I forget that being alive and healthy and happy are noble goals – or just good ideas? And is the opposite of being alive truly being dead? What a choice that would be.

Love, fresh air (the outdoors), light exercise, something that interests me to study, cell feeding food. A perfect combo of all.

Laying in a darkness...alone...very much fun'

sometimes doing everything the wrong way or "going off the reservation" is a GREAT way to feel alive again and change your perspective.

It may not be something I always recommend:

but playing hooky from work... just don't go.

fill up the car and just drive- for days.

Take someone you love away with you. Go rock climbing, jump out of a plane. Do something that brings you closer to death.

Find an abandoned lot and do high speed donuts in an old car until you are dizzy, or you crash.

Bleed a little. Scrape your elbows.

Go camping with only water and a knife.

BREAK ALL THE RULES and see what happens.

(Just don't harm others)

When it comes to you

I break every rule...

Brilliant or what?

Love and intimacy.

-Being able to do things I like.

-Adrenaline.

-Winning.

-Freedom.

Y’all got good points there. Thanks for sharing.

I think I miss the adrenaline. Maybe it’s true that in a way you’re never truly coming home.
