Two blogs in two days? What even is this!
Today I taught myself to skateboard.
To lots of people that's probably not a big deal. To the most uncoordinated person I have ever known this is huge. My sister skated to the beach and I rode but the whole time I was wishing I could skate. Usually I would tell myself not to be stupid because I would break my face or something else in the first 10 minutes. But when we got home I said, fuck it, I can do it. And I spent allllll day practicing until my sister got home and we skated to a resteraunt a few km away to grab dinner. I didn't even stack it once.
This all sounds kind of lame I know, but bare with me.
Getting out of your comfort zone and doing something that scares you is the most refreshing thing in the world. The sense of accomplishment and pride I felt within myself was incredible. Shooting my first set was a similarly exhilarating experience. Getting naked in front of the camera was something I would never have dreamed of doing once upon a time. But in all honesty I cant remember the last time I learnt to do something new and terrifying and exciting For the first time. It's a good feeling. And it's got me hungry to try new things and push my limits some more.
