Bungee-jumping

What’s the scariest thing you’ve done in your life? How long did it take you to summon up the courage to take that first step toward that which you feared? Or did you hold back? Did you retreat and retrace your steps to where you were before… to where everything is familiar and to some measure, predictable?

Don’t we all wish that we were simply brave? Fearless. That the word “afraid” was as alien to us as little green men from Mars.

Shit. That’s all I can say. Shit and more shit. Because all we can really do is swallow that big lump of dread stuck in our throats, and just DO IT. And then cross our fingers and hope that everything will turn out ok.
