In things that matter (because I can be pretty laid back with things that don't), I've always been quite the control freak slash demanding perfectionist.
Recently, I've been revisiting my desire to skydive and wondered if there would be any sky dive centers here in Arkansas. Lo and behold, there are. Skydiving has always been in my list of "Things to do Before I Die," and now I think I know why. It's a good lesson for me in the art of relinquishing control. In skydiving, I am definitely at the mercy of 1. the elements; and 2. my instructor. Not that SCUBA Diving doesn't teach you that (I was an avid diver back in the Philippines), but with skydiving, one tiny error can cost you your life; that and for sure, it's going to be one experience I'm never going to forget (assuming I survive it), and hopefully help inspire me to live my life in more carpe diem-like fashion.
I think I'll do it early next year. I know of at least three people who are going to kill me if I don't make it past this year :)
