Soaring heights....Loh #211.

avatar

Warm greetings to you all.

If I had the option to choose an adventure to undertake, one that I would not forget in a hurry, one that would forever be etched in my memories for as long as I live, one that would blow my mind away, hehe. That one adventure amongst all others would be Skydiving.

Skydiving or parachuting are methods of descending from a high point in an atmosphere to the ground or ocean surface with the aid of gravity, involving the control of speed during the descent using a parachute or multiple parachutes.
#Wikipedia

Just like @kerrislravenhill wrote about her adventure on paranormal investigation woth the purpose of overcoming the fear of the unknown, so also my adventure is purposed as an exercise against acrophobia. Acrophobia is known as the fear of heights and well, I am its candidate. There are certain heights that I cannot bear and if it is mandatory for me to go to such heights in a building, I won't look down or that is the end.

But for the sake of the spirit of adventure and doing the impossible, I could decide to venture into skydiving and have a swell time. I have watched short clips on skydiving and I could tell that it would be an amazing experience to try out. I see the way the sky divers scream their lungs out when it is time to eject the airplane and have the free fall. I'm sure it would be exhilarating, just falling from such a height with the help of gravity before using a parachute to conteol the speed. I'm certain my intestines would churn and almost fall out of my mouth ,hehe but after that experience then it is bye bye to the fear of heights.

I could have chosen deep sea exploration but I don't like big bodies of water. The only big body of water I want to explore is a swimming pool. Anything other than that scares the living daylight out of me. You never can tell what you might encounter under the sea. So no to deep sea exploration for me.

Spaxe travel sounds fun too but the fear of "what if something happens to the spaceship in space and I can't get back home anymore?" egulfa my thoughts. That would be a disaster for me if I can't return to my family. It is better I stay close to Earth and have the adventure. At least with sky diving, I can choose the surface I want to land on whether it is land or water surface, before embarking on the adventure.

Adventures are a great way to explore the world and see life from another whole perspective and I really hope that I get to embark on my chosen adventure in the near future.

Thank you all for reading. This is my entry to the #ladiesofhivecontest for week #211.

Skydiving would undoubtedly be the necessary experience to face the fear of heights, and as you say, to see life from another perspective,

I’ve fallen from great heights plenty of times in my dreams until I stopped having those dreams perhaps having gotten used to them. And why I can climb onto my roof to clean out the gutters or sweep my roof without fear. Saying that I may still scream like anyone else skydiving for the first time. It would be a thrill to scratch off the Bucket list.
See you in the deep end of the Dolphin pool @beckyroyal 🦈

The only big body of water I want to explore is a swimming pool.

That is good starting point! But I get it... I think it is the unknown that scares most people about deep sea exploration, and then their imagination fills in the void. !LOL

Yeah, my imagination can be very vivid for my own good. I imagine seeing sharks or giant octopuses while in the water 😂😂

Thanks for the comment and boost 👍

There will be a guide with you and the parachute gear would have been tested multiple times before the fall. It is totally safe o 😁😁

I can only choose to go on an adventure in sky diving if I would be assured the person going with me would make me feel safe. I can't stand that height. I am also acrophobic and can't even stand on a high building and look down. I feel I would be tempted to push myself down 😀
But when it comes to other interesting and wild stuff apart from going deep into the water too, then, I can go for it.

Hahaha, we are on the same boat sis. Me and big water are not friends. I'm also skeptical about the jungle as well. Only the air is safe
