Fly

Everytime I'm being asked what super power I'd want to have if ever, I always answer that I want to have the ability to fly. I haven't really thought about why I have this fascination w/ flying. Maybe for freedom (you know the common notion that flying somewhat means that you'll be able to escape). Or it could be that subconsciously, I was thinking that I look good w/ a big pair of white wings, or black, or pink. Pink?! *Laughs*... I'm not really quite sure.


But anyway, just last week, I had my first airplane ride. We went to Boracay. Yes! I felt like a 5 y/o again. Seriously! Inside the plane, I listened attentively to the flight attendants as they demonstrated & explained the safety shit stuff inside the plane. In fact, I even won in one of the games they had to 'entertain' the passengers. So, to continue, mid-way through our flight, the weather being perfectly sunny, I peeped out & realized that we were already above the clouds. There, I kinda figured out why I want to fly.


The reason: because the sky is just a great place to be at! There, above everything else, you could be alone yet not lonely. You wouldn't be lonely because the beauty would just make you forget (even for just a while) all that has been bothering you. Yeah it might be really cold there but you have the clouds to keep you warm, like they can hug you or something. Then the rays of sunlight would touch your face as if they were His hands saying you are just fine, just fine.


Hence, it's not really flying per se, but the place where having the capability to fly would lead me to & the great feelings that that place would bring to me.


So okay, I don't know how to fly. But it's not impossible. I know I'll be able to learn how. I probably just need someone to teach me.
