Thoughts - 30,000ft In the Sky

I wrote this post as I was on the plane; of course it was published when I got to my hotel in Hong Kong. I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited to do something like this. I know, on the surface, I may not be as excited as I say I am, but I’ve spent countless hours up at night, looking forward to this journey. In a way, it is both liberating and fearsome. For the first time, I will be responsible for myself. Enough said, right? I believe this journey will make me a better son, friend, lover, and person.

I’m almost in B.C., and I’m pretty excited to see the city, in which I once lived. It’s always beautiful (I enjoy the rain, and getting rained on as long as I’m not in a suit haha). B.C. is a place I have many fond memories of, and that’s where the majority of my family reside.
Shoutout to my friends in B.C. who may find themselves on my blog.

Now, my flight to Hong Kong was something else; I've never sat on a plane that long before! How long was the plane ride? 13 hours. I definitely prefer planes to trains, but that's a story for another time. Let me tell you about the Airplane food... It was pretty good! It amazes me how they put everything together for 300+ people, and fit it on an airplane. I think the best thing about it was leaving Canada on the 15th, and flying to a different time zone where it was already the 16th. Can you say time traveler? One highlight on this flight was when a little boy was running around and stopped at my seat. I guess he found whatever I was interesting. I totally got a high-five.

I think it's cool being up that high on a plane. Just think, a group of 300-ish, on one plane flying 30,000ft in the sky. It's almost like we're disconnected from the world below us; we're in a world of our own, isolated and alone. It's magical in a way, how birds fly without a care, or thought of time. That's how it feels to me.
