“Always Take Chances” By Laney Pait

What did I do yesterday do you ask?

Welllllllllllllllllllll, without thinking, I threw on a harness and hopped in a miniscule rickety old airplane. I sat watching the buildings and cars become smaller and smaller until I finally realized the reality of what I was about to do.

Why in the world did I think this was a good idea? It’s not natural for ANYONE to want to jump out of a plane 9,000 feet in the air…Clearly; this was the worst idea I had ever come up with.

Too late for doubts, the door swooshed open and I was being literally dragged out of an airplane by a complete stranger.

The second the wind hit my face and I spiraled out of the airplane, I knew I had made the right decision. The view was devastatingly beautiful and the feeling of my cheeks flapping in the wind was indescribable. I was flying.

Haven’t you always wanted to fly?
