Conquering Fear

“Mommy are you ready to fall in to your doom?’ That’s Wyllan asking me as we queue for the Super Bowl attraction today.


A year ago, he requested a day in Aqua Planet for his birthday but to his dismay, he was a centimeter short to be able to try out the big attractions. He was so sad about it so I just blurted “I will not try any attraction until next time you are tall enough to go.”

Of course I didn’t intend to really go because I am scared 😀 hahaha!

Oh boy this little guy took it to heart, waited another year and asked his daddy to take him to Aqua Planet for his birthday. This time excited and so sure that he will be tall enough to go. As we pack our bags, he came to me and said “Mommy, you promised me that you will go with me this time.” In my thoughts I was like, “Oh boy, did I?”

I was so scared of anything that involves water, speed and falling. THIS GOT ALL THREE!! LOL. I will never try even just once, OH HELL NO. But this boy is expecting and trusting that we would be trying these for the first time together. 😂 I told Cerise that I didn’t want to go because I am afraid. She said, “Why don’t you just try and see for yourself if it is scary? Then you decide if you want to go again or not. At least you tried.”

Anyway long story short, I was here about to pass out and scared to death of what is to happen when I took this picture. AND THIS BOY WAS MOCKING ME! I did go though. I thought, trying once wouldn’t kill me right? hehehe..

After that turn I realized, it wasn’t that scary! Would you believe that I went three times? 😀 It was fun and for the first time I enjoyed going to a water park hehehe!

You know what, there are so many times that I don’t try things only because I am scared. And I miss on a lot of great opportunities. Today’s experience taught me something. My kids know better. 😀

So when you are hesitating to do something, do it scared. Who knows, maybe you would enjoy doing it over and over again afterall.
