First off, a big thank you to everyone who took the time to see my post yesterday and leave some comments and Yoors love! It was a nice surprise being the winner of the pool, which also means that the #yoorsjanuary2021 challenge for today is the one I suggested:

"Make a post about something you learned/tried for the very first time that you think brought something valuable to you and/or others."

Of course, I must now take my own challenge and tell you about the first time I went skydiving.


I remember it well. It was at my 30th birthday dinner party, some years ago, that I made the decision to try it. I wanted to enter the decade with a bang, and the idea of finally going through with this particular wish I’d had for a while seemed like the perfect way of doing it.

Hitting 30 was a bit of a defining moment for me. In my mind, it’s always been that age where one ceases to be a young adult and definitively transitions into full-blown adulthood. This may explain my sudden determination to jump off an airplane: if I was going to be a “real” adult now, then I wanted this action to define the kind of adult I was going to be.

ik heb het nooit gedaan lijkt me wel gaaf hoor!!
I think its's very brave of you! I would never do such a thing, haha! 😉
@The Original Enrique Thank you 🙂 There is that saying: "Leap, and the net will appear". I try to live by that as much as I can!

I would never skydive. Better be cautious with the word never ;) But I do remember that experience of yours as something extraordinary...for me too haha😍
Wow, wat een lef! Wat een moed! Geweldig dat je het doorzettingsvermogen met ons deelt en superfoto!
@Dana vergeet ik nog om je te bedankten voor je lieve laatste regel, super dat als je vandaag wint, wat er dik inzit gezien je prestatie, dat je dan toch nog mijn suggestie deelt, echt fantastisch van je, dank je wel

Wow, great experience and like bungee jumping that is something that I will never do. To scary for me (and dangerous).
@Naturefreak It was really amazing! Bungee jumping is not for me either, though. I don't mind falling, it's the pull back I'd be scared of.. yikes! 😅

The power of thoughts is often underrated I guess. Great you dared skydiving (I would never) and congrats for winning the pool!
hoe geweldig ... je foto is prachtig
Such an amazing photo! I have vertigo so always wonder how this would go down for me. However it is something that my husband and I have spoken about doing together for quite some time!
@Mónica Thank you! Well, it's one of those things that you won't know until you try, but like anything, it's also important to respect your own rhythm and gut feeling 🙂
GREAT, SOMEDAY I WILL. 😁☺️
i never tried skydiving, and i´m pretty sure i´ll never ever do it in my life. Jee, how could you?
