A week ago, you could’ve asked me to go on a kiddie water slide and you most certainly would get the answer, “No”. But while I was on vacation this past week, I decided to try a water slide after years of holding back. That was one scary ride, but it encouraged me to try another… and another… until I had gone on just about every ride in the park. Now, can you really conquer a fear? No. I still have the very same fears as before, just now I am able to take them on. And I still won’t step onto a roller coaster- at all. At least I faced my fears, and it turns out most of these rides are actually pretty fun! This experience sure brought more confidence to me for the future, and now I’ll try pretty much any ride you ask me to go on. This certainly was a vacation to remember. 🙂
