"Flight attendants please arm your doors and crosscheck"
Something about these words have a different meaning to me then all the other passengers in the plane. It makes me excited for the season to come, it makes me nervous for the requirments that are needed. The butterflies explode in my stomach, but as the plane regains stability, I am content. I am on a plane to Vancouver, a place I've never been, a place I've always wanted to see.
Here we go. First trip by myself. This is it.
So far it feels like nothing is different, maybe minus the fact that there is tall buildings all around me, but all in all I am comfortable. I always thought that I was a planner. I like to have a schedule and abide by it. Maybe that was just something I was hiding behind, something I was using as a cover. In an ironic statement, I feel comfortable being out of my element. I know my parents don't understand and sometimes I don't really either, but I enjoy being in a place where nothing in familiar, relying on my instincts and gut feelings. I am blessed to have a laid back personality that I don't get overwhelmed easily. I will wait to figure things out rather then jumping to conclusions.
We'll see how things go, and I'll keep you updated along the way.
