Millions of people around the world always dream of traveling in a flight at least once in a lifetime. But here, I was lucky to travel high above in the Air. I have been traveling up in the air since I was 2. I was never afraid and I always had a pleasant flying experience until when I was much much older. But, I was among thousands of them scared of flights. The fear was created by me, listening to stories from my good friends, about 7 – 10 feet air turbulences. It totally changed my mindset about the feeling of traveling.
During this time, I never wished of getting inside a miraculously humongous flight. It was my fear, forcing me to cry on board and not letting me enter the huge white vehicle. My mind persuaded me to think that the huge vehicle would go crashing and none of the poor fellows would survive. I felt as if I was going to turn into ash right inside the flight. I always try to overcome this fear. But the more I thought about it the worst it grew. This fear was constantly growing. Reading books or magazines and observing the flight crash manual made it worse. It made me think that all the survival things would be required this time, as there would be a big crash. I really try hard to sleep on board. If not sleep, I try to bring happiness to my face. It reduces my chances of thinking about a big crash.
1 year, 2 years passed on and on and I still scared of the huge white long monster. My parents still trying to get into a conclusion with my hesitated mindset. Mumma & Papa always tried to persuade me to spill out the reason for my fear. I just kept my mouth zipped & raced out from the place. Soon, my parents realized they had to understand me. It did not take them much time to do so, we then had a family meeting & they solved out my problem. It took them about a whole freaking hour to figure out a perfect question. They said, “are you so bad that the Lord will take you away from us?” I was still scared for about a month. Then, I thought about this topic and I then understood. and now I love traveling all over the world with a flight. Recently, I just went to Andaman & Nicobar Islands. What an amazing journey.
Read about my Scuba diving experience as well from Andaman in another blog of mine.
