eXtreme eXperience

There are moments in life, when you feel that you are lost, that one of the pillars of your life is just gone and you need something to find a new meaning, a new balance for your life. And this is the moment when you decide to try something which pushes you to the limits, that brings you close to death and gives a new meaning to what life means; this is the moment when you probably go bungee jumping.

I was in Groningen this week for team days and I decided to try it, to really push myself to the limits… Well…. It is fantastic !!! I have never experienced something like this before. It was just the thing I needed.

When the countdown starts, you have a feeling that ooopsss, something wrong will happen and you have second thoughts…. But you are just shot vertically in the air…. In the first 5 seconds I think I did not even realized what was happening…. After that the first thing that I have realized was that I was screaming like hell….I got conscious because I heard my screaming…. I think I got rid of all the negative energies in me because of this screaming…..Then I was just going down and I was seeing the ground coming with high speed…. That is the moment when you feel the fear and you feel that dying is not such a good idea and you say to yourself, I have to survive this and somebody should stop this falling…. I think this is the moment when you just have that “survival instinct “ in action. And suddenly I just realized that I was flying back to the sky again and I just got above the buildings around and I saw the whole city from above and then I was just spinning in the air and going towards the ground again.

When I was going towards the ground second time I already enjoyed the view and enjoyed flying. There was no fear, just excitement. I enjoyed flying and I was looking around and laughing, I still do not know why. I realised that it is really coool and that this extreme experience is the coolest thing I could do. Bungee really challenges your mind and your body. Even after half an hour all my muscles were tensed and my heart was beating like hell. The adrenalin was at the maximum and I just felt extremely excited.

I can’t write anymore about this, because it is a feeling that I can’t describe, you just have to try it for yourself, but I am definitely sure that I will do it again. Actually I am thinking of trying skydiving. It should be really fun.
