A life lived differently. Outside of the realm of the normal, past mediocrity into true life. A life lived to its full potential. My heart races because I am reminded when interacting with such a person that a life that actually matters is possible. A world that goes beyond the status quo is attainable. This makes my heart race.

a punny poster. quips, aphorisms, and the moment before deploying one all make my heart race.

Standing there at the edge of uncertainty, feeling like you might be captain of a ship riding out a storm. Smiling ear to ear, shivers running up your spine and down your arms because you’re doing/seeing/hearing something unbelievable that your body has never had the pleasure of drinking in….

Seeing a great show, like The Pixies in 2004, makes my heart race.

when i do or say things i know shouldn’t but have to because it’s now or potentially never. the decision right before do or die, fight or flight, knowing the cumbersome harm or security it could offer someone….makes my heart race every time. and double vietnamese coffees.

Seeing my name pop up in a Google alert (yes, I am that vain as to subscribe to my own Google alert), makes my heart race.

Every morning when I get up out of bed and realize that there’s no such thing as fate… that my direction is in my hands. It gets my heart racing in excitement, but also absolute and utter fear.

2 minutes and 24 seconds into ‘Keep The Car Running’ by Arcade Fire. This is the moment when the pianos go crazy and it reminds me of seeing them live at the Latitude Festival, in the dark, with everyone setting off paper lanterns into the sky.

At this point in time, two things (ironically, completely) make my heart race: Haiti & Lady Gaga.
First, my heart goes out to the Haitian people as it has been hard to see their struggles, as no person should have to endure such losses as they have. Therefore, I donated and hope others do as well when they read this.
On a lighter note, Lady Gaga is my hearts guilty-pleasure right now. She is a genius is my book, and “my heart races” every time I see her crazy outfits and videos online and on TV.

Finding your favorite lines to share after a few drinks in a library, going to unlock an already open door, waking in the dark from a strange dream, an impromptu race with someone you want to run after, the first time you see a new lover’s handwriting, getting the last ticket for a sold out show….
