My Scary but Amazing Ride at Cypress Mountain:

Here I would like to share a story of mine, when I went through my biggest fear. The journey was with my loving husband, and I experienced every kind of stage that taught me a new lesson.

Ordinary World

It was a quiet weekend in Vancouver. My husband and I were relaxing at home like we usually do, just enjoying a calm day together. I was comfortable with our usual routine staying indoors, watching shows, cooking together. Life felt peaceful and simple.

Call to Adventure

Then my husband suggested something different. He said, “Let’s go to Cypress Mountain. I’ve heard it’s beautiful this time of year.” He wanted us to get out, enjoy nature, and try the ride up the mountain. I was curious but also unsure. A mountain trip? That was out of my comfort zone.

Refusal of the Call

Right away, I felt nervous. I started thinking about the cold, the height, the ride. I told him, “What if it’s too scary? What if I panic or feel sick?” I didn’t want to ruin the day, so part of me thought maybe we shouldn’t go at all. but my husband speak in very polite voice that there will be nothing to fear that is our new adventure. if we can't face it now, will never do it again. so that wording encouraged me to do or die.

Meeting the Mentor

My husband listened patiently and held my hand. He told me, “We’ll go together. I’ll be with you the whole time. And if you don’t like it, we can stop.” His calm voice and kind smile gave me courage. I trusted him, so I finally agreed to go.

Crossing the Threshold

We got ready, took snacks, and drove up the mountain. As the road twisted higher, I started to feel butterflies in my stomach. But there was no turning back now. I had stepped into a new experience.

Tests, Allies, Enemies

The drive was tricky slippery roads and thick fog at some parts. I held my husband’s hand tightly. He played music to keep me relaxed and made a few jokes to make me laugh. That helped. Still, I had moments where I felt anxious. But having him there made all the difference.

Approach to the Inmost Cave

When we got to the gondola, I froze a little. Just looking at it made me feel nervous again. My heart started beating faster. My husband noticed and said softly, “We don’t have to rush. Take your time.” I took a deep breath and nodded.

Ordeal

Once we got on the ride, the fear hit me hard. It was so high, and I couldn’t stop imagining bad things. I held onto him tightly and closed my eyes for a moment. He squeezed my hand and told me, “Look around.” I opened my eyes, and slowly I saw the beauty the snow-covered trees, the quiet mountain, and the fresh air. It was magical.

Reward

By the end of the ride, I felt like I had won a battle. I had faced something I was truly scared of. And I didn’t do it alone. I looked at my husband and smiled. He smiled back and said, “I knew you could do it.” That moment felt so special. because that time i suffered my fear with my love one and learn new lessons.

The Road Back

We spent some more time at the top, took photos, and had hot chocolate. Later, we headed back down the mountain. I looked out the window, feeling proud and peaceful. I was different now stronger, calmer, and more open to adventure.

Resurrection

That trip changed me. I realized that fear is normal, but it doesn’t have to control me. And having someone by your side who believes in you can make anything possible. I felt like a better version of myself, more brave and more connected to my husband.

Return with the Elixir

Back at home, we laughed about the day and looked through our pictures. I told my family how proud I was and how much I appreciated my husband’s support. Now, whenever I face fear again, I remember Cypress Mountain, and I remind myself that I can face anything, especially with love by my side.
