| Finally enjoying the view |
For as
long as I've been a traveler, I've also been a nervous flyer. My issue is the
loss of control. I'd be much more comfortable if I was the pilot. Take-offs and
turbulence, in particular petrify me and while I've yet to burst into fear-induced
tears mid flight, it will happen.
What I am
about to say next is probably tempting fate. In fact, I know it is stupid to
say this aloud but, on my flight today I actually found myself enjoying the
experience. I managed to fall asleep and remain so during take-off. I also felt
relaxed enough to enjoy the view out the window, rather than trying to
telepathically land the plane myself.
As a nervous flyer this is a state of being I never
expected to achieve, and I am so grateful to have experienced it. My only hope
now is that I haven’t tempted fate for my next flights. I really like this new
world and want it to stay this way.
