Oh no.
They’re inviting you to a group outing again.
Gulp.
“Uh…” You’re about to break a sweat from nervousness trying to come up with an excuse.
“My parents are coming over this weekend. I’ll go next time.”
But you never do.
You scroll through your Facebook and Instagram feed while you don’t realize your eyes are turning green with envy.
Oh man, everybody looks so happy.
You regret your decision, but not really.
You wouldn’t know what to do or say with all those people anyway.
But you know you’re missing out.
This isn’t the first time this has happened.
But you’re so sick of it.
It isn’t easy breaking away from something you’re used to.
As multiple opportunities for a better life reveal themselves, you know you have to take them.
You have to decide that right now, you will start breaking free from your shell and make the most out of the one life we are blessed to have.
Here are three ways to do so:

Unless you already had plans for that day, don’t hesitate to join the social activities your group is inviting you to!
Even if it’s something you have never done before (as long as it’s not deadly or illegal), do it for the experience.
You never know who you might meet, what might happen, and what new memories you could create.

I looked up and the riders were screaming as they approached the drop.
It was a rollercoaster.
There wouldn’t be any problem…if I wasn’t terrified of rollercoasters.
I’ve ridden roller coasters before that were faster and taller than Hollywood Dream, so I didn’t understand why I was terrified whenever I see one.
Fear of lack of control? Maybe.
But that day, I promised myself I wouldn’t ride it.
My younger sisters rode it first, and they said it’s the best they’ve ever ridden.
Not enough to convince me, I said.
So they dragged me.
They dragged me about three meters until I finally said that I would go.
And I’m glad they did.
Hollywood Dream might not be the most intense ride, but it had the right pattern of loops and sharp turns that I enjoyed.
Did you know that you…
