Just Try It.

I have always hated roller coasters. For most of my life I have avoided going on roller coasters. It wasn't so much that I didn't think they were fun, but more that I was afraid to even try them.

A few days ago I went to the fair for the first time. I payed for my own entry ticket and a wristband to allow me to go on any ride I would like, because that's what my friends were doing. In the beginning of the day I made a promise to myself not to wimp out and to go on rides. If I was going to pay $49 for this day I was going to make myself go on all rides! I was pretty nervous and even a little scared at some points but ya know what? I had a blast! I loved having the wind blowing in my face and feeling my stomach drop. Don't get me wrong, I felt pretty nauseous on most of the rides, but I loved it. 

I couldn't believe that I had gone my whole life not going on roller coasters because of fear. 

Lesson of the day: Don't live your life in fear, try new things, things that scare you. If you live your life in fear, you will only miss out on unforgettable experiences.
