If you had one chance to grab what you really wanted, would you take it? When the rest of the World walked out, would you walk in? Would you experience the thrill, agony, pain, overwhelm of saying goodbye to an old friend? I did last night. Exploring is a funny thing sometimes. Always turns out the places that mean the most to you are the ones you will explore alone when everybody is too busy not caring. Remembering the misty dust smell when I first stepped inside the tower is always gonna stay with me. People have known for years that my biggest fear was elevator shafts, yet I got over that very fear last night. Climbing up a four-story wall ladder to get to the top was also one of the best thrills I've ever experienced while exploring! And hey, I even figured out how to work the damn flash on my new camera... by myself! I guess sometimes in life you have to achieve things on your own when people aren't looking or caring, and that's what I did. The little achievement of exploring the hose tower also made me realize yet again that life shouldn't be taken for granted! It was a good exploration but it was also too little too late. All of it was still standing a mere 96 hours ago and if my gut didn't annoy the hell out of me to drive by on Thursday night as oppose to on the weekend, I would surely have missed saying goodbye. Amazing how I've already had a few people tell me they regret not being there to explore it, but such is life. My old man has a saying that goes something like, "Live with no regrets, give everybody and everything a chance, because you'll wake up one day and realize it's gone". Everybody knows that saying. As I went to the corner of the hose tower to give it one last hug, one last touch, one last feel trying to fight back tears, I thought of all the memories, friends, family, girlfriends, enemies that have crossed my life and wondered if I could have done anything different. What do you wish you could have done different?
