A beautiful day everyone...

Growing up as a child we were always excited any time we see a plane in the sky, we will always shout with excitement following it around screaming and raising our hands and wishing for bundle of money to be thrown to us lolz just as our grandma and grandpa told us, is surprising how we believe in such tale as kids...so we kept our hopes high that someday it will come to pass may be one of them will throw some money to us lolz but it never happened..what a myth!

We love to see aeroplane in the sky it has always been our dream to board on it someday to us is seems as the biggest achievement of life, as children little did we know there is more to life than that... but I never gave up I was optimistic about flying someday.

Surprisingly one day hubby booked a plane ticket for me I was surprised I never saw that coming, I was so happy finally my long childhood dream will come to pass. I couldn't help but to share the good news with my family there were excited too but I was nervous I kept imaging how it feels like to fly, as the day goes by I was anticipating it. And finally the awaited day came, I made my way to the airport after the check-in I boarded a flight, everything looked strange to me but I pretend as if I'm used to the whole thing I sat just like others I saw the rest fasten their seatbelt but I don't even know how to, one of hostess had to help me with that.

At the takeoff of the aircraft I became afraid I held my seat so tight, thank God for nose masks I was able to hide my face expression but when the aircraft started moving slowly a bit up and down i became more afraid I couldn't help but scream so loud with my eyes closed I thought I was falling down already seeing myself inside the sky looking at those cloud I imagine how possible can that be? I couldn't help but to scream again I couldn't pretend everything was okay any longer everyone started looking at me, some laughed while some wanted to know why I was screaming I felt so embarrassed even the hostess was laughing at me may be they might have seen me as a bush lady, the man close to me smiled he asked me if it was my first time to board on aircraft I nodded he said is normal to be scared, hubby said thesame thing but only for the first timers but what still surprises me is that I have boarded the aircraft for eight times but still scared though I don't scream anymore but the fear wouldn't just go away no matter how hard I tried.
Sometimes I feel reluctant to travel anytime I remember I will travel by flight... but I love it because is peaceful and the fastest means to travel...I just wonder what could be a solution to this problem, I really don't like feeling that way but I just can't help it.

All pictures are mine.

It's not a phobia. You are just afraid because it's the first time. You see that you didn't scream again after many encounters. The only fear you are having now is a general one. "Make plane no come crash". 😂

You no fit fly parachute....

Lolz...so you mean everyone there are also afraid...? I doubt

Na you oooo 😂😂
