Today was the day! I went sky diving today, and it was such an awesome experience. I can’t say a 100% that it’s the Flight-to-Fight audio, but I am sure it had helped some. It was an hour drive there, and going on my way there… I had very few thoughts in my head. One of them was like “What if I am that ‘1’ in 555,000 that dies?” Then I was just like, “Shit, if I die today, then so be it. I would rather deal with the uncertainty of death, then to not have experience how it feels to jump out of a plane.” I used to have a HUGE fear of heights. Used to say when I was a little kid(I wanted to be a Navy SEAL, but became a criminal miscreant instead lol) It has always been a dominating fear of mine. But I didn’t feel like I was going to die for some reason. But I remember that feeling of nonchalance to death. (A friend had gifted me with Blue Tara, and I’ve been using P.I.'s 7 stages of Ego death faithfully, along with spamming Anger Management, and the latter one is the last piece to the rest of the wholesome stack I’ve been missing.) I am changing for the better, and it’s a snowball effect. But I’ve been using some of these fields for almost a year already. Haha, I’d talked with the young couple that went before me, tryna cheer them up. He looked gloomy lol so I yelled out, “Go get it bro! Not shit!” I think that gave them both umpth, because they had like a little hopeful smile. They came back, and they said it wasn’t that bad. Guess it worked. Lol
So my group was up next. So like, a ‘couple’ (so I thought at first, but they didn’t even talk too much. I think they were siblings.) The two girls were hella chatty, and it was as if we were long lost friends. Lol I talked to the dude too since he was quiet, and he seemed like a chilled laid-back surfer guy. I really liked his positive energy, though he didn’t say much. He didn’t seem scared. I was even telling people I was scared, so they didn’t take my physique and tatts as intimidating. And for some reason, I had zero butterflies. Even going up there(the scenery is so beautiful), I had zero butterflies. We were all kidding and laughing. I can’t lie, for a split second my ego got mad that it was a dude that was strapped to me(where the Amazon women at? lol jeez) and he was like “Get on my lap.” Lol. I was like But Anger Management makes me not take things too serious anymore. Like, I don’t attach to things anymore. I been doing really good. So I yelled out, as a joke “Final Destination 8, cast here we are!” Not sure if they heard me. So the girl jumped first, and she was really really cool people lol. Then when it was my turn to go, I forgot to tie my shoes in a double knot as they had said. (I was so stoked I’d missed when they said it? lol) So I pulled my feet back into the airplane. He was like at first “Naw!” I am like “Shit got me fucked up, you ain’t gonna buy me a new pair of Nikes” lol Excuse my French. So I started to tie my shoes. And at first he was like “Come on!” Under his breath.
But he told me to not rush, as I was doing because I was eager to jump already and see how it feels. So we got ready. When we are at the edge, they tell us to hold on to our straps on our chest first, while forcing our legs back towards our back. Until he taps me, then that’s when I raise my arms over my head. So as I got ready, I really honestly felt nothing. I remember like for a couple of seconds at the base(Or whatever you call it) I had slight butterflies, but I blocked them outta my head. And they never came back, which was surprising. The most jarring part, I feel is when you barely jump out. Seems I am doing hella ninja flips and stuff. But it’s only for a few seconds. Then you are going full-blown freefall down at 120 mph for some seconds(it’s what they say, not sure). Then, he pulls the chute, and we jerk up fast into the air. I remember I was yelling and so excited, that I accidently grabbed my dive pilots handles for the brakes! (Thinking it was my straps because I was so stoked!) He was like “Oh no! Don’t grab these. This is dangerous. Oh my God. I never had this happened.” He went on like this for maybe a little while, tryna fix it and still saying shit like that. As I looked down upon the BEAUTIFUL scenery (Mostly grassland and some houses, but nonetheless breathtaking form up there), I started reflecting on the situation at hand. So I was like in my head, "Lol, You janky mf. You’d joked around about “Final Destination 8”, now here we are. For literally a split second I had a feeling regret and slight panic for saying that, and then I was like “Fuck it. Then I die now, at least I know how it feels and had the experience.” And I didn’t think about it anymore. And then I forgot I had listened to Angelic Intercession and Devic Intercession before then. And it hit me after a bit passed, I was like “Hmm, if my angels are out there. Helping hand? lol. If not, I understand.” And then he fixed it shortly after. Lol. So I felt like shit and kept apologizing. I could hear panic in his voice, he was tryna just get my mind off of it. He was like “You ready for something crazy?” I said “Hell yeah!” And he started to spin it in circles. He did that for a little. And when when we were about to land, he was like, bring my feet all the way in the front. Lmao. I did that shit with ease. Even Hispanic Surfer Dude (lol forgot his name) he was like, “You landed so gracefully and with ease.” lol (The others stumbled) I will be keep touch with one of them. Everyone was super cool. Staff, co-divers, and etc. I wanna do it again. Lol
I also notice, I am loving to do things out of the norm all the time. The more I push through things that are discomforting, the more I want to keep doing it. This is a pro and con for me. Lol
Edit: A friend was asking me at Discord about the situation, and I had realized I left out some details about the dive after I rewatched the video. Figured it might help someone out and know what to expect.
