The excitement that comes with traveling

Deep down I know the kind of drama I'm gonna perform when I eventually take a flight, I think it's gonna look more like a comedy skit cause I know people would look at me and be like "This is a joke" They won't believe the truth even if I tell them.

I've never imagined myself inside a plane before, imagine being scared of heights tell me how do I imagine myself doing something I'm scared of, most times my fears don't allow me to think of the things I'm scared of, I know there would be a time I'm gonna stand up and face my fears so when that time comes I know I'd be fully ready for the fist.

Growing up I've always loved traveling, I traveled a few times with my mum, I think I developed this interest in traveling due to the stories those who had traveled would come back and tell us, their experiences, the kind of places they visited, the people they saw on the way and the most exciting thing they saw, I know some of these stories aren't always as we thought and "some can be lies just to tease those that haven't traveled before hehe!!" these stories alone made me wanna explore the world and witness things for myself, I don't wanna be the hearer alone but also the experiencer so I can share my part of the story.

After being fed with so many travel stories, I decided to bug my mum cause she would be traveling with my big sister the next day, imagine someone like me who hadn't traveled before, I became angry all of a sudden, the way I cried that day you can sense the anger in my tears, after crying for a while then my mum walked up to me and asked me to go pack my bags, after hearing that statement I became the happiest being on the face of the earth then guess who started crying well it was my sister, I didn't care cause it was my turn even if it was done out of sympathy it's still the same thing, I stilled traveled, when I was going with my mum to the park I felt like I was on top of the world.

After that day I had been opportuned to travel with my mum on different occasions, though it was just some nearby states then I believe "all travel na travel" so yes, I have traveled before. I didn't travel a far distance till I was posted to the north for my national youth service when my posting letter came, my family was lamenting and telling me to decline it, their reasons were the north was too far from home, I lived at the southern part of the nation so imagine the distance, I know they care so much about my safety and wellbeing but then I couldn't decline it cause I wanted to gain the experience.

With the few experiences I've had, I can boldly say, that I have traveled and I love traveling not "like" it's the experience I love the most, the people I can connect with along the line, the things I learn the new environment I encounter, the best part is traveling open your eyes to see that the world doesn't revolve around you, it shows there is a whole world out there which contains people that do things differently.
