take more risks

is to live the lifestyle I desire to live. To live the one I seem to have fallen into naturally. To simply be who I am, unabashedly.
I’m having tons of fun with this one!

I’m so proud of myself! I’ve taken so many risk this year and have tired so many new things.
- I went swimming and wore a bikini!
- I wore shorts to school, even though I have always be embrassed about my legs.
- I been more outgoing and put myself out there.
- I enter a video I made into this scholarship and have faith in myself that I did a good job.

I am so happy with who I am and how I feel about myself I hope this natural high never ends. Everyone should take chances and risks without the fear of what others might think.
Embrace life and dive in. Opportunities are endless if you just believe!

I went to the state fair with my friend. I’d never ridden any fair rides before, so we went on two.

The Ring of Fire was HORRIBLE. It looked horrible and I was kind of hesitant to go, but I wanted to take a risk. Oh my God, it was terrifying. I seriously thought I was gonna fall out. But as scary as it was, I’m kind of excited that I can say I actually went on it.

After the Ring of Fire, we went on Cliff Hanger. It was SO much more awesome. And I remember that was the ride that my cousin tried to get me to go on with her when I was younger. I chickened out then because I was too scared. Not anymore! It felt like I was flying. So so very cool.

I love taking risks. :)

I’m so afraid of everything. It’s been changing a little since I’ve been dating my boyfriend, Nick. He fears NOTHING and he’s always up for anything. Well, Nick’s tired of me being afraid of everything so this summer I’ve been doing things that I don’t normally do. It’s a start, but his ultimate goal is to get me to go skydiving with him (hahahha i’m gonna die)

being freelance. it’s been a great experience…and i have learned a ton! i feel like i could check this off my list..

is simply letting go. It is being open to say the things I need to say that will take care of me, and damn the consequences. I was fine before this. I’ll be fine after this.

My whole life I’ve lived by taking as few risks as possible. When I was younger I never skated because of the risk of falling or something. I barely go to parties for the fear of is being awkward.

How does someone begin to take risks? What is a good step to start with to take a few more risks.

Had a ‘vacation’ with my mom. This was a huge risk to accept her proposal, and follow through on it. I believe it was the right thing to do for myself. I ennoyed getting away, I’m proud of how I handled the parts I didn’t enjoy, the experience will help me working through a lot of personal problems related to my mom.

I’ve been wanting to do this since I was in 8th grade.

So, while at the mall on vacation with my mom, I decided to say “what the hell” and just do it.

It hurt about as much as I thought it would.

But I’m definitely glad I did it at last. :)

is a risk that i’m taking.

all new experiences.
or old revived experiences like ballet (which i haven’t done since i was a little girl)
and a hiking class, also a thing i haven’t done since i was little with my dad/family.
so its sweet.

and we’re going to go backpacking and everyone’s so nice and i just love the class! i’m so glad i took it, and kept it.

also, working.
i’ve never had a “real” job and so all of this is something that i wouldn’t have done before so i’m glad i went for it.
i feel like more than anything, i’m learning about people. how bad they can be, how good they can be.
how important kindness is.

and i’m going to start my nursing program in the fall and live on campus and i just found out who my roommate is and she seems SO nice!
cute cute.

so there are a lot of new experiences ahead of me.
& i just feel like i have completed this goal bc this summer has been all about getting out of my comfort zone

done !
