The Jump

Austin, TeXas

Here I was, approaching the end of my youth and the beginning of my manhood. I wanted change. I wanted meaning. I wanted to live. So ironically, that meant jumping out of a tiny plane 10,000 feet in the air.

Jumping out of a plane isn't something on most people's lists of things to do. But this was different. The big 3-0 was right around the corner and it felt as if a metaphorical countdown was beginning. 

You only live once, but if you live right, once is enough.
