Maine Mendoza relates her skydiving experience to taking risks in real life

"Dubsmash Queen" Maine Mendoza experienced skydiving for the first time in Miami.

Maine shared a photo her skydiving experience on Instagram, and in the caption, she wrote a long note relating her extreme escapade to taking risks in real life.

"I have always wondered how it would feel to fly. How do birds feel when they soar through the sky. How it feels to see everything from up above. I was fortunate enough to experience this in the magic city— Miami," Maine wrote on Instagram.

She said she felt both nervous and excitement as she sat inside the aircraft, still barely believing she's about to do it. "I almost cried while sitting inside the aircraft– incredibly nervous and happy– because DAMN I cannot believe I am actually doing this! (There is nothing more nerve-racking than the anticipation; from signing the waiver to the plane ride up; and when they open that motherfriggin door mid-flight! Jusko ang puso ko!)"

She said that once they jumped off, all the tension she felt turned into nothing but "absolute bliss."

Maine then related her skydiving experience to her realizations on taking risks and exploring new things in real life.

"It made me realize most of the things worth doing starts with being nervous or terrified. You just gotta take the leap and make it happen. You might just be amazed at what you could achieve and how far your jump can take you ONLY if you take the chance," read a portion of her reflection.

Maine ended her message with a new year greeting to her followers.

"I hope we all get to experience new things and collect wonderful memories this 2018! Happy New Year, everybody!," she wrote.

Funny thing, I almost cried while sitting inside the aircraft– incredibly nervous and happy– because DAMN I cannot believe I am actually doing this! (There is nothing more nerve-racking than the anticipation; from signing the waiver to the plane ride up; and when they open that motherfriggin door mid-flight! Jusko ang puso ko!) But when we jumped off, I felt nothing but absolute bliss. For the most part, it felt unreal to me. It was breathtaking– literally, too. It was amazing. Best part is I didn’t pee my shorts! Seriously though, I cannot believe I actually did it; I took the ultimate plunge! I was so freakin scared but still I made it alive. Lol! Next on my bucket list is to do it alone. (Charot, semi-not charot!) It made me realize most of the things worth doing starts with being nervous or terrified. You just gotta take the leap and make it happen. You might just be amazed at what you could achieve and how far your jump can take you ONLY if you take the chance. Sabi nga sa Nike, “just do it”! Some things are always worth a try. At the end of the day, chances are you'll be thanking yourself for taking the risk because it made you happy... or at least alive.
I hope we all get to experience new things and collect wonderful memories this 2018! Happy New Year, everybody!
