My heart racing like never before as I’m about to face my biggest fear, this is it, no turning back now! I stepped on a big machine with wings, my body has gone numb. Here I am thinking I would never have the courage to step out of my comfort zone, wait know, a leap out of my comfort zone. As I get harvest up, I hear a voice inside being negative, this makes me have second thoughts of what is about to occur. 3, 2….. wait stop I’m not ready….1. There I was, in the air feeling free and more alive than ever. I can’t catch my breath but that’s not my biggest worry at this moment. I did it, I’m alive, this is the best decision I’ve made. You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
