cheaper than a therapist

[cavscout73 0]

have heard it so many times, we even considered it a few times. I could never find the justification in letting it all go and taking it to the sky, leaving it to chance, stepping away from the real world and chasing crazy dreams. Not until a month ago when I lost my best friend, the one person I shared it all with. The woman I wanted to chase to the end of this fucked up crazy life! Now I'm left without her and can't think of anything else but the sky. My career has lost its appeal, I hate walking into my house. "Too many bad vivid images" the places I used to love have lost any enjoyment . I think I finally understand what they mean by cutting away! Which is scary as well, give up a home a career a stable life for unknown, hard, and basic.. And I feel like that's where I belong! But damn if my responsible grown up brain doesn't keep getting in the way. Anyhow just venting and the forums are cheaper than a shrink. But they could be used against me in a court of law. No real reason for this post other than had to vent and where better than here!

Stay safe. Think it through. If you need help ask around. I'm sure there are a few people you could talk to about things.

Can you transfer to someplace you'd rather be? Somewhere where you could make a living jumping year round? And don't forget, Chuck, you've got lots of friends at Explore Freefall.

I'm hanging in there and still vertical so that's half the battle.. Keeping myself busy!
Trying to get everything finished and in order at the house , think I found a dz down south to work at full time for the season. Hopefully a break from things here, some fresh faces and places will help clear the head a bit!

I just wanna say that time has a way of healing all wounds. Just keep jumping and hanging with your friends. I wouldn't make too many drastic changes in your life. I want to thank every woman that ever dumped me. Because of them all, I got to meet my wife.

I'm glad you're making plans and doing better. I hope your adventure puts a new spark in your step!

I always look at life as chapters in a book. Some chapters are longer than you thought, and some are shorter. Some make you smile, some make you cry and some make you say, "Holy shit. I didn't see that coming!" But, they're all important into shaping the great story of what is your life. The chapters that make you sad don't have to necessarily be considered bad; they're just part of your story.

This chapter sums up with a great chapter followed by a bad ending but I fully understand what your saying. I would have never gotten to this chapter if it wasn't for the good and bad previous chapters. Although I wish I could have changed the ending of it I wouldn't have traded this chapter for anything .. It was a great one all the way til the end ! Now on to a new crazy chapter in life!
