I got up this morning and went out with a bunch of strangers to take pictures...it was fun for me despite my ridiculous and hopefully not so obvious social anxiety. As I was breathing through the anxiety, I contemplated on the things I have avoided doing during my life because of my feelings of inadequacy. I've decided that I'm not missing out on anymore of the things I want to do ..even if it's uncomfortable for me. I'm making a bucket list of things to do before I'm 30.
I'll cross them off as I do them and probably add some along the way! Some of my friends may need to help me out with these. (I know you guys are reading..I see how many hits I get on my site.)
1. Go Dancing!
2. Go white water rafting
3. Run 1 mile without stopping just to be able to say that I can
4. Ride on a plane without letting my phobic behavior get the best of me. (or have me banned from an airline)
5. Experience Spain/Europe as a thin person so I can actually enjoy the endless walking and site seeing
6. Frolick unashamedly in a bathing suit in a public place
7. Make some NEW friends and spend time with the old ones
8. Visit my BFF in Delaware! (Love you and miss you!)
9. Volunteer with an animal rescue
10. Ride in a hot air balloon
That's a great list!!! Especially number 8! ;-) Can't wait to go back to Spain either, maybe that's where Gus and I can go on out Honeymoon! And white water rafting...I've always wanted to do that! LET'S DO IT!! Love and miss you!!
ReplyDeleteI'm for real about the river rafting..there's lots of places we could go! Let's talk soon. Love you too!
