I initially thought to name this inaugural post for my abroad blog "Learning to Fly" and make an an allusion to not only a Tom Petty song by the same name, but a closely named "Learn to Fly" by the Foo Fighters, which actually features a music video which takes place on an airplane. Instead, I wish to focus on my current emotions and disregard the lesson which was getting to the terminal. First I had to check some bags and then go the "great undressing" known as security. But now I am ready to fly.
I sit here in this terminal filled with excited. I dubbed it in my personal journal, an internal smile. It is as if all parts of my soul are turned on the prospect of venturing to the United Kingdom. This pleasant feeling is currently embedded in my being. I only pray that it stays with me through the next hours of traveling. I would give you exact number, but I care not to count them.
And why wouldn't I remained elated by my journey ahead? For so much does lay ahead. The best part is I cannot picture it. I acknowledge that such a statement may sound idealist or foolish, but those are two qualities I take pride in possessing. I trust in the universe and I believe that it will provide me with good times ahead. My current mantra is I venture out in pursuit of greatness and joy. So begins the first step toward both; I feel ready to fly.
