I had a blast

There are many of you who already know how bad it was going for me when I first tried to learn to Skydive. For some reason, honestly I still don't know the reasons, it was not working out for me. I tried and tried, I tried very hard, I do know that.

Finally I could not handle it. I could not afford to keep spending money and not progress. I finally gave up. Not on sky diving, but not spending money and not progressing.

I never actually gave up sky diving. I sky dived in my mind for 2 long years. It was not a good feeling. I kept analyzing what I was doing wrong. Still don't know. I did have lot of other things going on in my life. I always knew and that I will come back. I always knew I wanted this very bad. I always knew I will do it. I just did not know when since all my terrible experiences.

I finally decided to come back. It was not easy. But I did come back. I did my first IAD jump and .....

IT WAS A BLAST. IT WAS SO WONDERFUL.

I jumped after 2 years and my first jump went so great. I just don't have the right words to describe it.. But I can say I had my first stand up landing. WOW. I still can't believe this.

I can't wait to complete the rest of my training and get my "A" I want this SO BAD.

After my last post, I did the following:

2 more IAD jumps
1 freefall jump
20 minutes in Tunnel.

I feel so good now. I have started having fun now. I find myself so much more relaxed now as compared to what it used to be, I can't wait to finish the rest of my training and get my "A"

Thanks. I will definitely let everybody know when that day comes. It seems to be far, but I will make it there. I normally don't drink, but I want to get drunk so bad to celebrate this when it happens.
