What Would I Do If I Feared Nothing?

The first one is leaving my hometown.


I never got the opportunity to live a life out of a comfort zone.


I had never been allowed to go outside my hometown. And thus, at times, I feel like I am living in my own nutshell, ignoring the greater possibilities that the world has stored for me.


For example, living alone, cleaning your own mess that you made, cooking your own food, managing all your stuff.


All these things come with a "reality check".


Moreover, it makes you more stronger and self reliant. It is an experience and teaches a lot about life.


I miss this experience in my life.


Hence why sometimes I feel like breaking free myself from my small world and taking a leap into the "big real world".



The next thing I would do is seeking adventure.


I lead a very simple, routine and a mundane kind of life. I haven't done anything which is adventurous and thrilling.


I always wish to do something like deep sea diving, sky diving, river rafting, whatever it is - facing the fears, and let the adrenaline do the talking.


Though, all these stuff look exciting, but it takes a huge amount of courage to do these things.


For example, imagine you are asked to jump from 12500 feet (above ground level) altitude, would you do it?


I know I definitely wouldn't, that is why I want to take risks.



The last thing I would do is gymnastics.


I was a cheerleader in high school. We participated in many competitive cheerleading competitions but ever performed using gymnastics.


During my time, I received a bit of flexibility. However, I am too scared to a round-off or just tumbling in general.


In gymnastics if you make a mistake, there can be scary consequences.

For example, you can have a scary fall, get banged up or bruised, or sustain an injury.


As a consequence, fear is almost a constant companion for the competitive gymnastics which is why If I feared nothing, I would try gymnastics.
