Things I Want To Try But Afraid To Try

Hello, read.cash fam!

I hope you have had a wonderful week so far! Hey, it is Friday already. It is my favorite weekday lol. It means that tomorrow is a rest day for most of us. In today's article, I will write about the things that I want to try but I am afraid to try. Sometimes I think what if I did it? Will I regret it or will it be satisfying to me? Sometimes I want to challenge myself too to see if I really can.

By the way, I have reached 100 subbies! I thank this platform for the opportunity to write and to have virtual friends. In my stay here, I gained 100 friends here. Also, some are very familiar to me already that it feels like I know them a long time ago. Also, I want to thank my sponsors!

Thank you, sponsors!

1) Solo travel

I always wanted to travel alone but I am too scared to be lost and then I have no one to talk to. I want to test myself if I have the ability to survive in a different place. I want to try first in domestic. For example, I want to be in Boracay alone but the problem is, the transfer from the airport to the tourist spots is very difficult for me. There are many land and water transfers because you can reach the hotels. I have been in Boracay before but I companion. Next, I want to travel to Japan alone. Yes, it is hard to travel when you are a girl because people might harass you.

2) Try to eat pufferfish

This dish is very popular in Japan. Only the expert chef is the one allowed to cook this delicate fish. One mistake of cooking may lead to paralyzation or worst, death. There is an actual academy of serving this fish. The chef trained for 10 years just to perfect this way of cooking. Yeah, I want to try to eat this fish because I want to know how it tastes and why they try to cook such poisonous fish.

3) To wear a bikini in public

In the Philippines, if you wear a bikini in public especially in the province, people will stare at you. They will look at your body especially the boys. Maybe because it is not yet acceptable to be in a bikini when on the beach in the Philippines. Some are also sexualizing wearing a bikini. That is why it is not weird to wear pambahay clothes on the beach. I want to wear a bikini because I want to feel the waters in my skin. Wearing bambahay is sometimes annoying to me. I am scared to be judged here that's why I do not wear a bikini. Maybe if I go to a country where a bikini is acceptable and normal, that's when I will wear a bikini.

4) To sing in public

I only sing when I am at home because my family is the only one who can judge me haha! I do not have a golden voice like Regine Velasquez. I have the voice of a sick dog lol. I love singing especially with Taylor Swift or Avril Lavigne songs. I am like pouring out my heart when I am singing their songs. Singing in public is nerve wracking because all the attention is yours. I only do two lines and then I will pass it to my seatmate lol.

5) Skydiving

I have seen this sport or recreation a lot on TV and I wonder how does it feel if you are in a free fall. It looks fun but when you look down, you might faint haha! I have ridden a lot of times on plane but I still fear flying because when I look out in the window, my brain is reminding me that I up 100 feet up from the ground. That is super high for me already. I want to try this but I am such a chicken when I see the buildings and cars like ants haha! Maybe it is just my brain that is restricting me.

Final Thoughts

What I realized while writing this is I am afraid to try because of judgment and fear. For me, these are the feelings that are running in my brain that is why I am afraid to try. Well, I am a human being after all so it is normal to feel this way. Maybe some people have high adrenaline that is why is just a piece of cake for them to try these.

Thank you for reading my article!
