Riding Waves

Today, I have surfed.

You know, when you're riding a wave and you get that amazing rush of excitement as it rises, high above anything you've felt before and it's gaining momentum and it's huge and you're on your surfboard and you're skimming the surface of it and you feel on top of the world - young, beautiful, popular, like anything is possible; fit to burst with happiness. And sometimes there's that swooping dip in the pit of your stomach when you feel like you might lose your balance or you get a bit of saltwater in your eye and it stings like hell and then you feel like you might just lose control and you are filled to the brim with tears of fear but then you regain stability and that feeling, that feeling right there, right now is like nothing else: it's fantastic.

But you know, at some point, that feeling will stop, you may never ride a wave that big again and the sense of reality will come crashing in all around you and you just want to forget how it will be when that massive wave of enjoyment falls, because at the moment, it's so damn good.

It's not over, it's not over, it's not over yet.

  1. Blarg, I still need to blog about my appointment. I figure I'll wait 'til this Wednesday's has gone now though and combine the two.

    Anyway.

    I initially tried to comment on your blog but in all honesty I'm not really sure what to add onto that (it seems very self-contained), so I'll let others do so if possible, and resort to using the 'tick' box.

    TICK.
