I'm still figuring out how ballsy I actually can be. Still searching for new experiences that are out of my comfort zone. Try getting married.

I wasn’t a big risk taker when I was younger but made some very foolish choices. Now I am a risk taker. In the last 2 years, I gave up a secure but unhappy life, moved to a new town, bought a home hoping I can afford it alone, recently started a relationship with someone I probably wouldn’t have considered dating a few months ago. I am meeting new people. I am using power tools which is a definite risk, trying to do new things on my own. I’m happy that I have taken risks. I am so much happier 
Absolutely great!! 
That's the thing isn't it: you are happier when you take more risks. Often these aren't even real risks, but only feel like that. These days I deliberately get out of my comfort-zone more often, like going to a gig, a day in Amsterdam, tonight a NYE event. I can get so nervous about silly things because I hardly ever do them so I'm not familiar with it. Like using public transport. Or finding parking space in a busy city I don't know etc. The latter is my worry for tonight, hihi. I really don't like Rotterdam, don't know the place, and I'm worried stiff about finding parking space. Sounds silly I know, but it makes me so nervous that I'd almost chicken out of doing these things. They feel like risks. Big risks, hihi. Then I tell myself to not be silly. I've done all these things when living in Australia and Indonesia, and those were a strange countries. Then why worry about something as simple as finding parking space in my own country? This is what happens when your world has gotten so small because for years you had lack of money and couldn't go out. Living in a remote area doesn't help either. So I'm currently trying to change this around a bit. Exactly, good for you! Shake things up a bit. |

I think in the last few years Ive been pretty courageous in terms of trying new things. I've tried online dating, gone ziplining, paragliding and jet skiing ,travelled to different parts of the world with complete strangers and taken up new hobbies.
What I haven't taken a risk with , is my career. I'm not sure I have the courage to do that yet, but I think I will be proud of myself if I do :) |

Even in my youth, consciously taking risks for excitement or acceptance felt unnatural to me, so it didn't happen often. At this stage of my life I tend to be very calculating and not impulsive. Being restrained and reserved has kept me from having some of the troubles and negativity that many people experience. But it's also contributed to keeping me from having some of the experiences that my soul aches for. Finding the balance, between comfort and fulfillment that's right for me, continues to be a challenge.

Especially in the last couple weeks with leaving Colorado and coming to New Hampshire with no job in sight. I grew up in NH. I have lived in Pembroke, East Kingston, Exeter, Brentwood, Raymond and Northwood - my parents moved around a lot. I left in 1988 when I went in to the Marines, right after graduating H.S. How are you liking it? Beautiful place. Where abouts did you move to? That's cool! Yes it's beautiful here. I'm near Manchester, in Londonderry. Before this year last time I was in New England was when I was born, in Weymouth MA. My dad was in the Coast Guard, we only stayed there for a year or so.. I think. Wow! I was born in South Weymouth! |
