I have to admit that I'm terrified of getting on the plane
There have been so many nights where I quit thinking and hummed the sweetest melodies I could remember
I've never much supported aviation
It's never made sense that humans could fly
Evolution gave us every other advantage and still I believe I need sunnier pastures
I wonder if a space could be judged by the length of time in which flowers could grow
Summer lasts three months here
I lay on my bed, humming to the clicking tune of the heater with all my blankets on and recall that I am only bringing two of them
The headache brought on by imagining the sound of the engines was almost unbearable
But the chill as the heater shut off was much worse
So yes, I told my girlfriend when she said she feared she would rarely see me
Yes, I am still running away.
