Jumper

I think that would be the prettiest thing in the whole world. Standing up on a building, actually knowing for a fact you were going to jump. Appreciating every little car, every blade of grass, every breath of air -- because you know it will be the last you experience. You appreciate everything more when you're hanging off the top of a building, I think, because it's like being reborn. You can again understand how when everything is new or final it seems much greater, because on sight it is perfectly created, it is so interesting how everything functions. Only when we are forced to endure year after year of problems, consequences, and pain do we lose sight of how fascinating everything is. Not fascinating enough to extract us from our ledges, but fascinating enough to enjoy a last breath.
