I have one of these crisis that life is just passing me by and i’m not even trying to stop it. I’m just letting everything slip away. Why do i always have to do something?
And at the same time, why am i not doing anything then?
And hello? I’m lonely.

I felt so small once i had all the equipment on. The packpack was really heavy. I had put on my gloves too soon, now i couldn’t regulate my helmet and glasses. Had to take off my gloves again.
“So you think you’re ready?” asked my instructor. I don’t think i gave a clear answer. He spruced me up a bit. Then so suddenly it was time to get going.
Only one more girl on flight was on her first jump. The rest of them were as good as professionals to me. The two of us were gonna go before them because they were gonna jump from a higher altitude. She got on the plane before me. I knew what that meant. I was gonna sit at the door and jump off first.
Plane was really small and we were sitting on the floor. Instructor was sitting just opposite me. When he closed the door i nervously leaned back so i wouldn’t obstruct it. He looked at me, smiled and gave me a thumbs up. And then we took off.
The flight seemed pretty long. At about 1000 meters mr. Instructor brought my attention to a small window so i could see how it looks like and where i should try to land and so on. It seemed pretty crazy. Even so, when we got to 1500 meters and he opened the door i looked down and i wasn’t even scared. Just a picture from Google Maps and lots of wind added to that. On his gesture i sat on the door.
“Ready?”
“Yes!”
There was no other answer. He said “Go!” and i jumped. With a beautiful bend just like i had been taught. And then i think i forgot just everything else i had learned. I looked down too soon and lost my balance for a second. Looked up again and realized that i had got the ropes of my chute coiled. I know this one! Just like on a swing, i spinned and disentangled them. Looked up again and the chute seemed okay. I wasn’t surprised. I took the brakes, tried turning and everything worked. I checked the altimeter and realized that it was the first time that i actually examined it.
And there i was. I suddenly felt kind of disappointed cause i had expected so much more tension. It didn’t really feel like flying or falling, more like hanging in the air.
The wind was pretty strong and i couldn’t float around as much as i would have wanted - i would have just been “blown away.” As the ground got closer it seemed as if i fell faster and faster. Maybe that’s why i hit the brakes way too soon. Without thinking, i fell down softly just the “right way,” as we had been told to practice on a staircase earlier.
Well. Whatever. I jumped off a plane!
