The Tiniest Pilot that Could

Keep telling yourself that you are made for this, tell yourself you deserve this, tell yourself anything you need to hear to keep going and push through the difficult days. There will be difficult days, but they will be rewarded with that “click” of an epiphany when you physically understand why your altitude keeps dropping, when you intellectually understand that the plane always wants to stay in the air and you don’t need to worry so much about crashing, even when the engine stops working.

Lessons From 35,000 Feet

My first lesson I’ve learned while four years as a cabin crew member is this : people are comforted with the stories and fantasies they have of others whose lifestyles they either don’t agree with or understand. There will be so many weird questions, so many strange assumptions about your life.

But it literally doesn’t matter. At all. It doesn’t matter that someone has an impression of you as a directionless gypsy, all that matters is that you are doing whatever it is that makes you happy to be alive.
