What I wanted

What is something you wish you did when you were younger? (Prompt courtesy: https://thecoffeemonsterzco.com/en-ca/blogs/midnight-blogging/journaling-prompts)

Ohhhh there are a few things:

-travelled more, BEFORE getting married and having kids

-gone skydiving, I’m way too chicken now and sort of have that mindset where ‘I value my life too much’, even though I’m sure it’s safe

-waterskiing, I had one opportunity at summer camp but something held me back from speaking up and saying ‘I want a turn’

-taken more photos of myself, young people are really good at that these days, thanks to cell phones I guess, I’d love to have a bunch of pics of my 17 year old butt, heck I’d even love to have photos of my 30 year old butt

-wish I had taken choosing my career more seriously and followed my heart (the 6 o’clock news lady is what I would have been)

Really have been box dyeing my hair black forever haven’t I, this is me with dye in my hair in college, 1998

      1. Absolutely! I’m in love with some of the little houses around here and dream all the time about what it might be like to be able to afford even a modest one right now. That leads to all kinds of reverse engineering!

  5. Skydiving is funny to me because I’m a qualified parachutist, and the Army paid me every time I jumped out of airplanes, yet people ask me why I don’t skydive. My answer is always, “The Army paid me to jump out of airplanes, and I was insured, so my family would be compensated if I died. There is no way I’m paying to jump out of an airplane without any insurance.” I agree with you; I value my life too much.

    1. That honestly makes me feel better about my decision then Edward, that i’m not being over the top dramatic about it!

      1. Yes, it’s all fun and games until the parachute doesn’t open. That almost happened to me, and I was getting ready to pull the reserve. Scary, my friend. 😱
