My mind has become idle. It's too lazy to think. In turn, I've become so complacent about everything. I don't care for anything anymore and I have not been productive. I haven't let myself go through anything troublesome just to accomplish something. I let things run its course or I rely on others to do things for me. And I know this is wrong. That's why I've come up with an idea and bought a Query? (cards with thought provoking questions) from Papemelroti.
I never think outside the box. I always stay on the familiar and safe side. So with this game, I hope I can stimulate my brain to think more and I'd be able to come up with fun and out-of-this-world answers. Here goes Query 1: A mad scientist is going to switch all your body parts except one, which body part will you choose to keep?
I'd like to keep my legs to where it already is because I'd like to go to places. My greatest dream in life is to travel the world and I'd like to do that with my legs letting me walk around.

Take that Jump
I remember this one time when my family and I went to a waterfall place. It was a beautiful place. There were other people there so it was kind of crowded. There was also this big rock by the river. Some were standing on it, waiting for there turn to jump into the water. I saw this boy jumped to the water without any hesitation. Then he went for the rock again.
I, on the other hand, was too scared to try (Need I say that some were younger than me?). But I found myself standing on it. I guess I was curious enough to try but I stayed there for a long time. I couldn't jump. I just stood there staring at the water thinking of a million things that could go wrong. I mean, what if the water was not deep enough and I got hurt? What if I drown? So many "What if?" ran in my mind. I was held up by fear. Anyway, I stood there for a long time. People were jumping and coming back for more while I just stood there.
I finally gathered the courage to do it. I moved to the edge, took a deep breath, and then took that jump. I let out a small scream and shut my eyes tight. I felt great. I finally did it. I conquered my fear. And all the worries were for nothing. I wanted to do it again. But when I resurfaced, I heard my parents calling it was time to go. When I knew I had to go, I felt confused. Should I be happy that I managed to conquer it? That I was able to overcome something like that? Or should I feel regret? Regret because it took me so long to just do it. Had I just taken that jump without any worrying, would I be doing it several times over by then?
