I'm getting really good at surprising myself. I normally don't do stuff like dress up for an 80's dance, or go sailing, especially with people I just barely met. It's good for you, though. You know? Knowing what you like and what you're comfortable with is one thing, but forcing yourself to go out of your comfort zone is what makes you grow. You can expect to stay in the exact same place and never have any new experiences if you don't go out of your comfort zone. That's something I have been learning over and over again in the past year or so. If only I could remember it so I don't have to re-learn it!
Sailing was almost a spiritual experience for me. It was so much fun! I never would have imagined myself sitting on the pontoon of a sailboat with near-strangers at Bear Lake for Labor Day. I didn't decide on going until like an hour before we left, and I was nervous that it would be awkward, but you know what? It was great, and I had nothing to be worried about. It reminded me of all the adventures I want to have, and all of the things I want to learn to do. I have so many things on my bucket list, I don't know how I'll have time to do them all! My 20th birthday is in two weeks, and I have no idea what I've been doing in the 20 years I've been alive. Someone please go on adventures with me?
Pre-80's dance photo shoot, of course.
Playing at Porcupine Reservoir with my roommates.
The cutest little band from Provo, "Imagine Dragons." They're much better live.
