TWENTY. Upcoming year.
Talk about one thing you hope to do in the upcoming year that you have never done before. It could be something significant or something trivial.
This may sound a bit trivial, but it's honestly something I strive to accomplish. I want to be able to fly, or at the very least, overcome my fear of doing so. Yes, I have a fear of flying. Well, maybe it's not so far as a fear, but I absolutely hate it. I hate brooms. I hate creatures that can fly - well, not personally, just if I have to fly with them.
I fear that flying may be essential if Voldemort attacks. Harry, Ron, and Ginny all have their quidditch brooms and can fly without a bit of trouble well, so long as Ron isn't trying to block something. For that matter, I don't believe I know anyone who can't fly. And, I'm not at all suggesting that I lack the ability to do so. I just... don't particularly enjoy it. And because I don't enjoy it? I haven't really applied myself to probably understand how to do it. Yes, that's it.
But, what if I should need to fly? I'm not at all implying that I have a sudden urge to play quidditch because I do not! But, what if I need to fly? To get away? To protect myself? I can perform any spell, make any potion, but flying? I simply can not do. But, it might be a necessary skill to learn, for my own safety - though, I find flying to be completely unsafe, but that's beside the point in this matter.
So. That's what I would like to accomplish this year. Flying. But, I think I'll wait a bit to get started on it.
