Feeling Alive

I feel alive.

Well, maybe that’s not exactly right.

I am alive.

But I still feel very much alive.

I guess there is a difference between being alive and feeling alive.

What is it that makes me feel this way?

I had been writing and sketching out a storyline, struggling to write it all down. It was like a swelling wave of ideas which I was trying to ride but the fear of drowning was real.

I finally reached a point where I had finished the storyline, complete with its plot twists and a backstory interwoven neatly within.

I felt high.

So good.

So alive.

I took a moment to enjoy this feeling, knowing I am far from being done.

But now I’m wondering if my story’s life is somehow connected to my own life.

If so, then I am very much alive.

But let’s hope I don’t kill it ;)
