When's the last time you were wild, unassuming, spontaneous etc?

What was it? I really need to incorporate some time of just doing something freeing or even a little risky once in a great while. My life has become desperately bland😧

I’m unassuming and spontaneous all the time because my brain is oddly wired to be.

But the last time I really embraced all three was when I decided to celebrate my birthday, a rarity. I took a solo trip to a local lighthouse resort and spent the night there and enjoyed the hot tub.

It felt really out of the box for me because I was still recovering from a mastic panic attack that left me unable to function properly for weeks.

@PerfectionOfTheHeart That's awesome!! I really HATE panic. I experience it so much with new people . It prevents me even dating at all. So any fun or spontaneous idea is shot down by panic , of the very thing I do want!! I'd love new connection, but I've just learned, it's my fear of judgement that makes me panic. Ugh it's hard healing this. But I could try and overnight solo trip, good idea!!! Ty friend 🌻🌅

@Coralmist I used to have the same fear and was fearful of people in general. It was part of my “training” living the life I did as a kid. But I somehow turned into someone with zero social anxiety because I started to care so little about how others perceived me and focused more on how I showed up for myself. Think that was the game changer for me.

Definitely gift yourself that trip though. It’s such a beautiful thing to do.

Risky I do every day. I teach Drivers Ed, so almost every day I take high school students out in the car and teach them to drive...(you know, how to run over small children and animals...lol...just kidding.)
My boss has told me,(actually ordered me) NOT to take my kids driving on Parkways or major Highways. I have told her that I disagree. I have told her that a person can pass the road test and still not know how to drive, therefore I WILL take them on Parkways and Highways. I believe that knowing how to drive on Parkways and Highways is of utmost importance to drive on Long Island. She disagrees.
So, until I get caught, I will continue to teach these kids my way, on parkways and highways.

Lol. I seldom get the chance to be spontaneous .. and I honestly have no idea how carefree is even possible. That said, I don't notice the burden of responsibilities much otherwise. It is as much a part of life as breathing.

My sons launched successfully and are managing their own lives now. In my return to life alone just beyond the divorce on the horizon, my choices will be less bound by responsibility than I've known in over 35 years.

Kinda looking forward to finding out how that feels again.

Singing loudly without shame in traffic is always freeing, especially at a red light. The range of looks I get make me smile. Sometimes, others may even join you...lol
I just think "Judge me if you like but I'm having fun either way"
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@Peek4U you should post a singing clip here
Peek4U · M
@Coralmist I did once. I try to keep a little anonymity to be honest. I may share an old clip lol

Spontaneity is practically a way of life for me.

Among my close-knit group of friends, I've garnered a reputation for being the "life of the party."

On the surface, I may appear as this aloof, stoic, mild-mannered, unassuming, reticent, average guy next-door, but deep down, I'm a bold,witty and adventuresome party animal.

And they say it's the quiet ones who have the least amount of fun, when in truth it's the quiet ones who really know how to party.

Date nights with my husband, especially when we are out of town and staying in a hotel. Dinner, dancing, and a room that might need a few extra maids to get it back to respectability again. 😌

Probably in July when I went to visit my best friend in New York. We always have such a good time together doing everything and nothing all at the same time.
BillyMack · 46-50, M
It’s been a while. Probably when the wife and I splurged on first class upgrades when we went to the Caribbean.

I’m kind of bland myself tbh
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
@BillyMack I'm bland to myself too brother.
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
I hear you. Sometimes I feel like some excitment!

It rained heavily recently, so i stripped and went outside and had a lovely shower. Afterwards my hair and skin felt so fresh and soft.
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
I think the closest thing is when I visited my brother and went out to the bars with him and his kids.
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@JimboSaturn I did thing that I haven't done in a long time like walk to the bar with a beer (travelors)
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
Probably about 7 years ago. I took a bus trip across the country from the Midwest to the west coast. Took two and a half days with all of the stops.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@HowtoDestroyAngels Niiice🙂 Did you know anyone on the West coast or just wanted to do it?
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
@Coralmist I knew someone on the West.
SunshineGirl · 36-40, F
Probably when I was 12 years old and used to compulsively swim whenever I saw water, irrespective of whether I had my swimming things or not.

I've been quite boring since 😩
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
I got lost in the mountains two hours ago.

It was awesome!
Docdon23 · M
absolutely!! let it go, let go of tension, social norms, expectations, performance, rules--have some fun and wildness!!
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
Boy, I don't think I've ever been any of those.
Coralmist · 41-45, F
@DunningKruger Even just a risky decision you maybe shouldn't have done but decided to anyway... ?
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@Coralmist Oh, I've made so many bad decisions in my life. None of them were as appealing as you're making it sound.
FreeSpirit1 · 51-55, F
A couple weeks ago me and my cousin hit the town for a girls night…
Kiesel · 56-60, M
February this year
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
never, probably
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@JimboSaturn I am a list maker, and spontaneous is something I never do a lot.
JimboSaturn · 56-60, M
@Justmeraeagain Plus we are adults with responsibilities, spontaneous goes by the wayside as you get older.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@JimboSaturn It can be dangerous like, will I be able to get back up? LOL
exexec · 70-79, C
Sometime in July 1979. A Tuesday, I think, but it may have been on a Friday.
WoWgirll · 36-40, F
6-9 minutes
@WoWgirll Wild and unassuming before 5pm on Monday ? There has to be a story there ;-)
Musicman · 61-69, M
It was so long ago I can't remember. ☹
