What is something you’ve always wanted to do but scared to try
I will have to think on that one. I just hope no one says homicide.
I would say the hot air balloon 🎈 experience. I’m not afraid of heights just stuck in a basket floating thousand feet in air and at mercy of air direction 🤷♂️ …. Now if there’s alcohol in the picnic basket 🧺 might help some 😂
@OhioMike That was a dream that I had for years! For me, it was finances that held me back. When I did finally go, I was able to invite my daughter to join me as a celebration of her 21st birthday.
I found it to be like sailing, but in three dimensions, and I'd definitely do it again. 🙂
@OhioMike lol 😂 🍻
The running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain. Always wanted to do the Hemingway test your courage deal. I just don’t trust my foot speed anymore, so the courage part takes a dent as a result.
Nothing. Being scared to try is an extra reason for doing it, not a reason for avoiding it.
I want to be more self sufficient and independent during my hikes and travels. I want/need to take a self defense class before doing more traveling so I’m more confident by myself.
Fear of failure (I hate failing at things) and getting attached. I have walls up for a reason
I like to write. Sometimes just my observations on life in general.
My friends that read my writing say I have insight and talent and can bring the reader into the story like no other.
I just am not really good on spelling or punctuation and structure at times. That and to become a well-known writer opens you up for criticism and hate. Especially if you write about your observations personal experience on divisive issues I don't think my soul could take that.
I write and often on subjects of controversy in my profession. Yes, it opens one to a lot of vitriol but I’m unaffected by it because I know those folks don’t know what they are talking about. I don’t take it personally. I understand that what they are really expressing is their pain and fear at having their cherished beliefs challenged. On the other hand, I’m also gratified to know that the information I provide has helped a lot of people, particularly in the area of pain management. I get to help alleviate a little human suffering far beyond the reaches of my own small world.
Going on a helicopter but I will be attempting this soon.
I’ve been in a few helo rides. They’re fun!
There's nothing I want to try that I am afraid to try. The things I'm afraid of are things I'm definitely NOT going to do. Like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane.
Sky diving! I would love to do it but don’t enjoy flying lol.
@Sassyjo My love of flying is the reason I give for not skydiving: why would I cut a flight short by leaving an airplane that's in the air? 😏🤔😀
@Babichev my writing has a lot to do with surviving narcissistic abuse and Reproductive Rights. Both tend to really push some buttons with individuals who refuse to think outside their own narrow Lane in life. I can see what you write about being controversial as well.
I’d love to cliff dive but (putting my fear of heights aside,) so much can go wrong from broken bones, paralyzation, death!
Get married.
@TheMidnightOwl i discovered a thing on another thread that may help. …… “starter husband “. Cool right ? 😎
Well, I did that earlier this year. I had never traveled outside the US, but I have a client in Tanzania, Africa, and I had the opportunity to visit them. I spent 2.5 weeks in Africa (and traveling) and traveled alone. Go big or go home, right?!? It was magical and wonderful and all the things. I met my sponsored children and spent two days on safari which was incredible.
Next up.... a tattoo!
@OhioMike I am with you about the hot air ballon, have considered but not tried it yet. @midnightowl Yes!!! I love my freedom and independence of being single (not married but also not alone lol 😂🤣)and not having to think for two or more people. @Julie33 Awesome trip! Thank you very much for sharing the pictures. I am so happy that you overcame fears for a great trip! 🦒
