I did a skydive!

Ticking this one off the bucket list

Personal development General
I did a skydive!

Last weekend, I did a 15,000 ft tandem skydive, something I've wanted to do for as long as I can remember. It was truly a once‑in‑a‑lifetime experience: travelling around 120 mph for a minute of freefall before approximately seven minutes of parachuting down to the ground, with an incredible adrenaline rush and breathtaking views over the south of England.

I feel so privileged to be able to say that I'm a member of the skydiving club in life and so proud to have completed a lifelong goal of mine.

I'm hoping to use this as motivation to fuel my upcoming ambitions; if I was able to overcome the fear and jump out of a plane at such height, then surely I can achieve far more than I previously believed possible.
