The only one who could ever see right through me
I wasn't always nervous about flying. I used to love it, it was freeing and a beautiful thing to watch out the window and see everything from your place in the sky. I took a liking to skydiving very quickly for that very reason and each jump brought new thrills and the excitement I craved. Then on one jump there was one precaution overlooked and that changed it all. Amazing how one experience can completely turn you off of something. Flying then quickly became one of my biggest fears.
I was sitting on the aisle on the way to LA, just praying to make it through this flight. Everyone was asleep for the most part being that it was a very early morning flight, 3:00 to be exact. The flight attendants were probably incredibly bored cause they seemed to show up more often. Me, being the only one awake, kept getting asked if I needed anything and each time I smiled with a polite no. One came by and seeing the look of nerves on my face began a casual conversation. She asked why I was headed to LA and I told her I had a huge movie deal in the works with a small smirk. I told her to expect me to be the next Tom Hanks, she smile and asked why I was really going. I feigned shock and then told her, it was time to go home. She smiled and was quiet for a minute. She asked if I had anyone waiting there for me.
I took a second and told her the person waiting there was the only thing that made it home to me.
She nodded and walked out of sight again. I was a lot less tense for the rest of the flight.
Little things make the difference,I've learned that recently. And I smiled at her as I got off the plane and told her I hoped she got to go home soon. There's so much more to say but I think I'll just save it for now.
I think maybe I'll try skydiving again soon, all fears have to be faced sooner or later.
