‘Watch the NYE countdown in the middle of Times Square.
‘Thirteen hours of standing still in the cold, not able to leave our area. Listening to the performers practice bits and pieces of their sets for TV. Being surrounded by screaming & yelling people all around you for hours and hours. Not being able to walk because of standing still for so long.
‘It was a great experience, but I don’t want or need to do it again. Now, watching the NYE countdown on TV every year makes it more meaningful since I was there’

‘Mountain biking. Exhilaratingly fun, but I almost fell down a mountain and died. I’ll never forget it, for good and bad reasons but I’ll never do it again either.
Now put snow on that mountain and give me a board and we’re chillin!’

‘Homelessness. Taught me how to survive, be grateful, be focused, and be cautious with my life. Gave me my will to live back. I never want to do it again, ever.’

‘Swimming with manatees. I know they’re sweet, calm water cows but they scare me and I did it anyway and will never again.’

‘A one night stand.
‘I was so worried about missing out on the sexual exploration phase, of hooking up etc. Turns out the reason I hadn’t done it before is because it’s simply not for me. Not bad, just kinda boring.’

‘For me it’s going on cruises. I did not enjoy being seasick for a week and all I wanted to do was play in the ocean. Instead it was a giant boat flooded with entertainment which was honestly overstimulating.
‘The only thing I did was drink the whole time which did not help with the sea sickness. I get that it can be fun for certain people but for me… nope. I enjoy being on land and having the ability to go into the ocean if I want to. I’m from the Midwest so being finally so close yet so far from the ocean was an odd thing to travel for!’

‘Bungee jumping — glad I got to experience it, but the intense feeling of doom in the pit of my stomach right after stepping off the ledge is not something I need to experience ever again ’

‘An orgy.
‘Sure it may sound fun in your head, but you don’t get to choose who shows up. And since everyone is there for the same reasons, people touch who they want in places all over. Sure, you can maneuver and ask certain people not to touch, and you are by no means obligated to allow activities but it’s a constant “on alert” type of thing.
‘Then you find the person you like, but odds are other people are also attracted to the same person. So you are now fighting for attention and may not even be acknowledged by the object of your “affection”. And as you are slurping up some skin and lip contact with them, someone else may be working themselves in on you. Now you need to turn your attention to that person wondering if you even want them to do anything.
‘And the list of negatives goes on… Glad I did it once. Quickly figured out that it was not for me. Never did it again but the curiosity is gone and I am happy about that.’
