A leap of faith

Five years ago I took a leap of faith - my first ever skydiving! It was one of the things in life that I would always cherish and hope to do it again and again in the future.

I'm a type of a person who mostly do the things as planned. I don't really like spontaneous things though sometimes there's just this voice in my head that somewhat looks forward to surprises. I have the confidence to do things that I have ever done before, or I have learned about, or I have listened to people who have done it. Skydiving broke my rules completely, but I couldn't be more happy and grateful (until now) that I have decided to do the jump.

I completely had no idea what skydiving was like beforehand. Not that I didn't have time to look for information about skydiving but it was somehow I let it, I wanted it to surprise me. I wanted to replace fear of the unknown with a sense desire of what's to come. I tried to cultivate that beautiful energetic state - desire - that I was more likely taking out my fear with ease.

Here is a video of my skydiving, my leap of faith - please feel free to laugh at my super silly face :-)



"An exhilarating scream arose from my chest from the initial drop as we jumped out of the plane. It took a moment to realize we're facing the ground and I could see the ground below. The air rushed thunderously past my ears and although I knew we're dropping, it felt more like we were hovering. Floating in space while the wind roared."
