Do you? Have you?
I posted something this morning about. If you never go for it, you will never get it, type thing.
When is the last time you did something like that? And did it work out?
Fab… real life…
*I’m hoping for wonderful inspiring stories here.  |

Done it all my life. Moving across the country without knowing anyone. Changing jobs without a new one lined up (gotta back yoself). Coming out in my early 20s (culture note for the youngsters…it was different back then). Loads. |

Yeah.
My brother and I had a DrUnKeN conversation about climbing Kilimanjaro together. The idea was that we’d motivate each other to actually book it and do it.
He bailed and never did book it, giving me the decision about going it alone or not. I went ahead and booked/paid for it the same day. No backing out available without losing a bucket loads cash. Best thing I ever did.
Oh, second one. Committing to IVF treatment with Mrs Wick. That was a pretty big one I reckon. |

Not really a leapy type of person but I have gave up my old life and moved from Kent to Essex in 2016, only knowing the other half, no job and then in 2018 we took a huge move to run a hotel together near Gatwick and he's never lived anywhere other than his hometown, we need immediately we had made a mistake but couldn't go back, then thankfully for us COVID hit (in the nicest possible way) got made redundant and now we have a forever home, both in jobs we love. |

I was asked by a friend if I would come along with her to a casting interview.
While waiting for her, a guy came by and asked if I was here for interview
I said no, he said would you like an interview, I said ok.
turns out he was the manager of the agency
Had some great and some not so great days on sets of soaps etc
But was really interesting how it all worked |

Oh all the time lol, it’s how I’ve lived since age 15. I took a job in Lagos, Nigeria a few years ago , I was apprehensive but thought fuck it why not.
I spent six months there and got malaria but had the best time ever , made some great friends, fished red snapper in the Atlantic most weekends and made a fuck load of money & got to Lifetime Titanium Elite on Marriot Bonvoy  |

All love requires a leap of faith.
It worked out with my wife, instant boom fucking terrifying; we did it anyway. We were still together 18 years later.
You snooze you lose I find that's often true. But then I like sleep too, so... Losing isn't always so bad. |

Actually one thing I did do spontaneously one night while I couldn't sleep was book a flight to New Zealand so I could go out to my friends wedding... I'd been umming and aahing about it and though... fuck it.... spent two weeks travelling around NZ on my own. . |

And following on from that I took a leap of faith leaving NZ as covid was going everywhere and getting to South Korea... after learning my onward flight from Seoul to London was cancelled!!  |

Yep.
Moved to the other side of the country 18 months ago.
Didn’t know anyone up here, left some good friends behind, hadn’t heard of the town where I live now, which I now count as home, until I visited it and bought my house on the second visit here, after a 10 minute viewing.
Still in touch with the friends from down south and made a bunch of new friends up here.
So far so good. |
