The hive learners community has come up with yet another interesting topic to write about, it was just a few days ago I had this same interesting conversation with a friend of mine, we were ranting about how bored we were living a kind of triangle life if you don't know what triangle life means, it is a common slang among Nigerians, that describes your outing life revolving between school, church, and your home, not that we don't fancy going to other places with fun activities, it just that it would always involve lots of spending, so people tend to go out once in a while especially during the festive seam, so as to spend less a d save more, the situation of the country is not smiling at anyone, transportation cost is another tiring topic on its own, having a car doesn't change anything either, as the cost of fueling a car can be even way more than using public transport. This is why most people are looking for cheaper alternatives, such as online streaming services, shopping, and gaming, to entertain themselves without having to leave their homes.

If the resources were available
Well, I have always had one fantasy adventure in mind, especially after watching the video of my cousin doing the same thing I've always fantasized about, wondering what that is. It's Skydiving, and I've always wanted to try it. I'm sure it would be an amazing experience and something that would really challenge me. I just have to find the courage to do it.

Why Skydiving?
it's ironic that someone who is scared of heights would fantasize about embarking on such an adventure. But hearing about the exhilarating feeling from my cousin felt out of the world listening to him express what it felt like, and also watching his skydiving video made it more appealing and exciting for me to give it a try, only if I had the resources, for now, it's still among my bucket list that I need to tick, hopefully someday. Until then, I'll just have to settle for watching it on YouTube and admiring my cousin's bravery. I'm sure one day I'll have the courage to do the same.
What do I hope to achieve from this adventure?
I've heard wise people say the only way to beat our fears is to face them square on, I believe going for a skydive, feeling my adrenaline pumping and senses come alive would help me overcome that fear of height, and also the excitement that comes with doing something that is above the excitement range, I've never felt adrenaline pump like my cousin did, I could feel how excited he was, even though communicated through video call. According to him, it felt like he was flying than falling, how I would love to feel that, he couldn't explain the intense feeling he felt but the look on his face and the way he won't stop talking about that intense feeling if excitement, makes me feel it is worth it after all Skydiving is quite breathtaking and gives you a refreshing, incredible perspective on the world, I want that for myself, I read somewhere that the feeling we get from skydiving is lasting and never fades off, hopefully someday, I get to make this fantasy a reality.
