The first flight she ever took alone

A little apprehensive, a little scared and full of excitement she boarded her first flight alone! 
Off to a different Land,with a different language and a different culture, she was eager to explore and live her dream.
When the flight landed, the world unravelled to her a magnificent painting.
She could hardly believe she was living in it.
It felt like the place had renewed her spirit  and revitalised her.
Suddenly all worries, responsibilities and plans receeded into the background.
She was living in the moment.
Over the next few days, she met amazing people and developed deep emotional bonds.
Although the people did not speak crisp English, she understood that language isn't as much a barrier as people make it.
She also felt that human compassion is way too underrated.
The little chats with these different people changed how she perceived the world.
The stories they told engrossed her and amazed her.
The pictures they showed left her in awe.
She realised how different they were from her and how this difference was good.
She faught many of her fears abroad.
She went on roller coasters ,allowed herself to indulge in alcohol and most importantly learnt how to live alone.
While leaving she was a changed person! 
Her soul was liberated and she was determined! 
She was determined to live her life on her terms! 
This flight abroad had indeed been her first flight.
