...and I totally agree. There has been a crap load on my mind, hence all the blogging. So I am going to write about the next thing thats on my mind... you don't have to sit here with me and read it... it's cool... but you know.... you may enjoy it...... maybe. So here's the topic, Bravery, well that's not actually the title but it's sort of the best way to describe it. So for me, confidence isn't really high, I am great when with random people because I know there is a high chance that I will never see them again, so it doesn't really bother me but when I am actually with people who's opinion I care about, I freak out! That's why my friend's know me as 'Mr. Awkward'. Also I don't do well in situations when neverous, for example, the last girl I asked out... I nearly passed out, and threw up... I didn't which was good but I had to sit down after.
So something just hit me, as I have stated over the last couple of posts, I am leaving school, forever. And what legacy do I leave behind? What have I done that is so special? The guys who will be remembered are those who actually took the chances that was given to them.
So I am going to do it, even if I look stupid... I am going to swallow my fears and do everything that I know in my heart is right, for me, it's no longer about living for living but for living for what is right but most importantly, standing up for what's right.
a man called Captain Joe Kittinger. In 1960, climbing into a foil balloon, Captain Joe ascended 32 kilometers into the stratosphere. And then, armed only with a parachute, he jumped out. He fell for four minutes and thirty-six seconds, reaching seven hundred and forty miles per hour before opening his parachute five kilometers above the Earth. It had never been done before, and it's never been done since. He did it just because he could.
So my dear Brother's and Sister's, Throw yourself out of your foil balloon, everyday. Why? Because you can...
