But really it was just, it was perfect. You know, I actually got that feeling like you know what, maybe this is why I'm alive, you know - maybe this is why I'm here on this on earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's such a feeling of satisfaction when something you imagined turned into something real.
I finally figured out the only reason to be alive is to enjoy it.
It was a lovely feeling, dying. I can remember being in the hospital, all wired up to tubes and thinking, 'If only you'd take these tubes out, it feels so nice.' It felt so - it felt like being in a bath of velvet. It was such a nice feeling. Everything felt so soft and floppy, and I wanted to go.
It was a great thing to be a human being. It was something tremendous. Suddenly I'm conscious of a million sensations buzzing in me like bees in a hive. Gentlemen, it was a great thing.
Anything I've ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.
Life that only a few hours before had glowed with enthusiasm and exultation, suddenly paled and sickened.
Life isn't perfect, of course, but we all know it's how you react to things that counts.
There's something about the water - that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You're on Earth but not quite.
It is quite amazing what I didn't feel after a while. I didn't really want to feel things.
It was a hard time for me to have a pure moment, to be present, to be here.
