Jump

Step down to that rock bellow. It's flat, it will hold you. Step down onto the other. The ledge is smaller, but that's alright. You won't be on it long before you

jump

As high and as far as you can. Those people bellow will look up and wonder what you're doing. They won't know. They won't understand the thrill you will get from jumping. Some of them will be afraid. Others will maybe be jealous they aren't jumping too. Maybe some of them will even try jumping as you will, but none of that will matter when you jump.

You might be able to feel them looking at you, but don't be afraid. You'll soon forget about them. They are not important. All that is important is what you will feel. Freedom.

The freedom that you will feel is something that you will feel only once. It is freedom unlike anything else. It is weightlessness. In the air above everything, nothing will be able to get to you anymore. There will be no fear. No sadness. No shame or happiness. Nothing will hold you back and you will be blissfully in the sky for what will feel like eternal heaven.

Then, when you know that it is time, look down. It's time for the next part of your jump. The fall.

The fall is the reason why most people don't jump. They are afraid of pain and they are afraid of being afraid. But I assure you that you will feel no pain. Do not fear the fall. Do not close your eyes. Let the fall consume you and just feel the rush of it coursing through your veins.

Most people fear the fall, but it's the best part of the jump. The fall will strip your body of every needless thought in your mind. Let yourself do whatever you want to when you fall. Smile. Laugh. Scream. Hold perfectly still or swing your arms round and round. Do whatever you want so long as you never, not even for a moment, close your eyes. Not even to blink. Because then, suddenly, you'll have missed all the fun in falling down,

down,

down to where the ground waits with open arms. To where the earth welcomes you. To the sweet serenity of absolute nothingness.

Now, it's time to jump. Leave all your fears behind and give it a try. I can promise you that it won't hurt one bit.
