What thoughts, activities, feelings, or experiences make you feel alive, beyond living?



What gives you passion or zest for life?
 
Travel
An authentic connection with people
Fresh air
A good night's rest doesn't make me feel alive, per se, but is required in order for me to feel capable of feeling alive
Thinking - Aha! moments

A breeze makes me feel alive...not sure why but it always does.

As for passion in life, it would have to be that I have a creative streak a mile wide, and this affects everything.

This is nearly the same to what I was going to say for myself.

A crisp breeze in Autumn, that blows the leaves up around me. I feel almost instantly energized and could forget everything troubling me for a moment just to twirl around in the leaves.


And very strong wind. So strong I can almost lean all my weight into the force of it with my arms out and not fall.

YES!

I totally forgot to mention this, strong wind is awesome (not the sort you get after eating baked beans though). :m056:
 
Running! As fast as I can. :) It's a habit of me from middle school, but i seriously love the feeling.
Reading|watching|listening to something beautiful, emotionally affective. :3
Learning mentally or psychically.
Talking with cute girls. ;)
 
Travel certainly ignites my flame. =)
 
Performing music is what makes me feel alive the most.
 
Driving on interstate, windows rolled down with music blasting. Also cool night air under the stars :)

Certain songs that are very close to my heart. Those rare gems that make me feel beyond everything.
Nature. Trees, wind and water especially make me feel alive.
Sadness can be a great motivator and often gives me a zest for life.
Quietness, too. I feel the most alive and aware in silence.
 
Riding my horse.
Wind.
The ocean.
Going for a walk by myself in nature somewhere, or just being in nature in general.
Laughter.
Performing music in a concert.
Blasting music.
Connecting with people.
Pain.
"Aha!" moments.
Snow.

Nearby death, near death experiences and fear of death.:p

Also, feeling my own heartbeat.

Creepy.
