Advantages: Comfortable, exciting

Disadvantages: Unstable, bad scenes appear in mind

Flying is an honor for me as I know that many of friends around me do not have much chances to take a flight. Thus I feel so lucky that I could fly since 9 years old. After all, I seldom have chance to travel with plane. When I was young I never think of the danger of flying and I felt that is the safest mode of transportation. Moreover it's comfortable and exciting.. Anyway, getting exposed to airplane accidents and drama soups like "Lost", I start getting nervous when the airplane takes off and land everytime I take a flight. I can feel my heartbeat when the airplane take off and sometimes even feel faint. The worst part is when there is atmospheric pressure which cause the airplane unstable, those bad scenes I watch in "Lost" will automatically appear in my mind. Oh gosh! What an imaginative person! (sometimes I laugh at myself).. Therefore, everytime before boarding, I will pray. I think I'm just being paranoid. And I admit that I'm pessimistic. One tip from my friend for me is that think about all the happy moment I have during the take off and landing so that the fear would be minimized.. For those who scare for flying could try this too:) Despite my fear and timidity, I would still keep flying. And I really wish that one day I will have the courage to fly alone and fulfill my backpacker dream.

Summary: Keep Flying!
