My friend did it; she jumped.
"JUMP!" screamed my friend."It's too high up! I'm gonna hurt myself!" I exclaimed with fear shone upon my eyes.
When I was a little girl, I was very adventurous and did many risky activities such as climb across my roof when my mother strictly told me not to.
One day, my friend and I were at a playground, goofing around and just having fun. We then played our version of "fear factor" where we had to do crazy things like jump off the second floor of my house onto a couch in the living room or climb up a very tall and fragile grape vine trellis onto the top of my house. We were such daredevils.
Anyway, we were playing "fear factor" at the playground and our most dangerous task was to climb up to the tallest tower there and then jump off onto the wood chips. YES, wood chips are NOT the best source of cushion. The tower was about 3 or 4 times taller than me; it was very scary.
My friend succeeds; I do too... safely.
I love height and I must say that I'm not afraid of it. Yes, I used to be afraid of heights until my brother changed me. I love roller coasters and I'm excited to perform even more risky things like sky diving or cliff diving.
When I am older, I'm going to visit Kamari Beach in Santorini Island, Greece. Why would I be going there in the first place? Not only is it the most beautiful island in Greece, you can cliff dive, facing the most beautiful sunset.
This island is just a large piece of rock. The houses are all built on top of this rock, this mountain. Because this island is a high rise mountain, there are cliffs everywhere for jumping off and diving into the vast mediterranean sea water.
There,
I'll be a bird
flying towards the light
falling into confusion
and floating back
to a new world.

Sounds magnificent! The location, that is! I used to jump off of ladders and our roof during wind storms. I'd hold an umbrella, and I would literally float! Not sure I'd have the same courage you have in terms of sky-diving or cliff jumping. But I'd sure love to go to the Greek Islands some day! Thanks for sharing! (Suggestion: Put a picture up the top to catch our attention, as well! And link the Island to an informational site.)
