This post is inspired by a Netflix TV series called "No Tomorrow".
The show is about a guy who believes that the Earth is gonna end in few months so he decided to make a bucket list and do whatever he can in less than 3 months. Whether big or small things like finding out what will happen if you put a ball of foil into the microwave, to big things like forgiving your family member who hurt you.
Whether the apocalypse is coming or not, the TV show taught me an important thing.
To live life without regrets. Don't hold back. Just breathe.
I will be posting stuff like this from time to time. Big or small stuff that is on my bucket list. From doing something good for a homeless man to doing something weird or funny. In today's post, I wanna share a story when I scratched off a big thing on my bucket lists... Jumping off a cliff.
It is a big deal to me because I have Acrophobia - extreme or irrational fear or phobia of heights. Conquering this kind of fear was a thrilling experience, especially that I did it with my best friends.
===============
I'm pretty sure this video would explain it all...
As you can see it the video, it happened so fast.
In less than few seconds, I hit the water so hard. They said when you jumped so high, like more than 10 meters, you would hit the water like a concrete. Yes, science baby!
Here's what happened to my thighs:
3 days after cliff jumping. It got hurt pretty badly, like I was involved in a gang fight or something.
7 days later. Almost healed up but still in pain.
As you can see, it's pretty bad. I put a lot of warm and hot compress to lessen the bruising. I also also ate a lot of pumpkin so my body will recover.
Will I do it again? I just did. After landed with the wrong leg position, I massage my thighs for a little then rested for a while. After few minutes, I saw myself jumping over and over again. The experience was worth it!
Yay!!! I conquered my fear! I'm a strong woman!
