She said we could just 'jump the fence and climb up the cliff' like it was no big deal. The adult in me was freaking out.... I haven't jumped a fence since I was maybe seventeen..and even then I think my pants got caught on the fence because I'm a giant klutz. But I had to keep my cool, after all, I was hanging out with a couple of really cool high schoolers and the child in me was screaming... 'do it, do it!' So despite all of the many "No climbing on Rocks" signs, we went for it. There were moments I could picture myself falling off the 40 foot cliff and meeting my death with a tiger shark at the bottom. But as I saw the girls blaze by me with zero fear, I was reminded that that used to be me, completely fearless and fiery in my youth. And then I had to smile because I know that me is still there, it's just a little more inhibited... but I can access it at any time.  It was such a beautiful reminder that those parts of us only cease to exist if we allow them to.
