Today is my wife’s birthday, but I am not celebrating. I am lying on a bed, in my childhood room, in my parent’s house having a panic attack.
My palms are sweating, my neck is tightening, my pulse is racing, I want to run, I want to hide.
For those afflicted with anxiety and the fear of flying, you need no explanations; for those who have the freedom to go as they please, words alone would not help you understand. It is my nemesis. I know so much about the World, yet have seen so little; I want to see more and I have been given the opportunity to go to a country I have never graced, a culture I have not experienced, a language I have never uttered. Ultimately though, I will be visiting Jamie, Liz and Millie on Esper and it is this that has once again put me in the lion’s den.
