A couple of weeks in the past, I went skydiving. Whereas this wasn’t my first time going skydiving, I’ve to confess my nerves weren’t any quieter.
You see, I’m completely scared of heights.
My buddy Crystal requested me to go skydiving along with her for her twenty ninth birthday as her first “30 earlier than 30” bucket listing. It was going to be her first time skydiving and I agreed to be the “courageous one” for her.
So, we signed up for tandem skydives with Skydive San Diego.
We arrived early and met the boys that we’d be leaping out of a airplane with at 13,000 ft. They’re truly actually nice at making you’re feeling much less nervous and actually enthusiastic about the entire expertise.
The complete course of main as much as the bounce appears like a whole blur now, however when you’ve gone by a brief instruction, you’re able to go!

We had been put into teams and started our stroll to the airplane. I used to be feeling fairly good up till this level. I may really feel my palms sweating and there was a lump in my throat. I saved smiling hoping that might assist.
In actual fact, I wore vibrant pink lipstick that day to remind myself to maintain smiling. (It’s slightly trick I’ve once I’m going to do one thing that scares me!)
After sat down contained in the airplane, the engines began up however the roar of the propellers weren’t any louder than the pounding of my coronary heart. I felt the concern sink in and seemed over at Crystal sitting throughout from me.
Our eyes met, however reasonably than cringing in concern, we laughed. Earlier than I knew it, it was our flip to leap. Crystal’s tandem buddy tightened their straps and I overpassed them as quickly as they disappeared out the aspect of the airplane.
Then it was my flip…
We walked to the sting of the airplane door and I merely closed my eyes and waited. 1, 2, 3 and we had been falling by the sky from 13,000 ft at 120 mph.
The complete expertise was equal elements overwhelming, terrifying and superior!
