My thoughts on Cliff Jumping as this ticked my bucket
list!
“It took me a lot of strength and courage to do
this. Maybe to some who knows how to dive or swim, this was not a big deal.
But then for me, this worth my life.
I have a lot of fears. I was always afraid and
hesitant to do the things that scares me but it challenges me at the same time.
So I took this opportunity to tick my bucket list.
Here I come, cliff jumping!
Aside from the fears I have (falling, deep water and
heights), I also have a lot of trust issues. My friends said that I won’t get
drowned since I was wearing a life jacket. But still, coming from a major
heartbreak not so long time ago, I gained trust issues.
I can’t depend my life on this orange thing around
my body. What if it won’t work? What if it will be taken away from my body?
What if I die drowning? Oh em G!
Just by looking at the cliff and the rocks beneath
the clear water that I will fall off, it chills me so much! Nervousness and
fear covered me.
Can I do really do this?
This man beside me, said yes.
He even secured my life jacket.
And the friends down there cheered up for me as
well.
It took me so long to jump that this man got
irritated already. Ha-ha! They waited for me for almost half an hour to do
this. Ha-ha. #truestory
But the thing that triggered me to jump already was
when he then became so protective. He can’t stand the sight that I was being
looked by a lot of people specially boys in my bikinis.
Audience impact it was! 😂
He was close to being mad and pulling me off the
cliff, to go back and not to jump anymore and we just have to go home. Ha-ha!
So, okay, I jumped with eyes closed!
Thanks, Love! As I jumped over the cliff, I also
dropped the fear of falling again.
