Today I had the opportunity to make amends for all the times I had let fear hold me back. Today I went abseiling.
When I was younger, the idea of stepping backwards over a cliff was absolutely terrifying to me. I skipped out on every chance I was given to abseil when I was at School, beginning from year 8 camp. Now, as an adult, the idea of abseiling didn't seem anywhere near as bad. I'm not exactly sure why.
I was reflecting on this as I lowered myself over the precipice, how fearless I actually was feeling. Maybe it was me letting go. Catharsis. I didn't give a shit anymore. I'm no longer scared. I'm no longer afraid of being who I am.
Halfway down the cliff, I look up at the instructor. "You must be really enjoying it", he said, "You've got a big smile on your face."

Yes...just a little stiff and sore all over but not too bad.
