Fear of Flying

I’ve never travelled internationally before. Initially, I had been getting increasingly excited about visiting Portland and Victoria. Now, however, I’m getting scared. Intensely scared.

Only fix days to go until I depart for the States, and the realisation of just how unprepared I am is setting in. And the stress and worry and other fears is overwhelming.

I’m scared of not meeting peoples expectations. I’m scared of something going horribly wrong with my flights, and being stuck in a foregin country without a clue. I’m terrified of the thought of possibly facing harsher prejudice than I do here.

Try as I might to quell my fears, they only seem to grow stronger. I don’t know how I’m going to do this.

I am genuinely scared…
