I could live in this

Ever wonder what it's like to be alive? Start by waking up extra early on a Saturday to go and hear a Holocaust survivor speak - realize that there are some people in the world who have lived through the most horrific, spirit killing moments in history, and have found a way to make the proclamation that life is too short to hate anyone. Think about how it must feel to live in a real hell for years, to be dehumanized and reduced to nothing, and still live a full, meaningful life. Take this new found spirit, go sit on some big couches near open windows and have a gin and tonic - call everyone you know and say everything you want to say. Find some boys having wine on a patio in Nordeast, and follow them to an art opening by the river. Make some new friends and then go have tea and talk about how to be alive with some others. Ride your bike home through downtown and observe the hundreds of people milling around, leading lives you don't know anything about. Conclude with another phone call or two, some loud music, and fall asleep with a book on your face.

OR - take a deep breath in the middle of winter and momentarily freeze all your essential molecules. Either method will work.
