When I have done my best effort to purchase my flight tickets and the payment was completed, suddenly I feel nervous?.., and it's scary at the same time?..😅. Huh!..
Well, I'm not saying that I have never travelled by plane before but, the thing is that I have never been into an airplane for quite some time now 😬... And, all of a sudden, I feel weird?..😳.
Because, the last time I had travelled back home was not by air, but embarked on a long-distance driving instead. Actually, my brother loved long distance drive...😄. So, I had the opportunity to hop on a long car journey with him and we went back home that took us for about 10 to 12 hours of journey! 😮. Well, it was more likely a long day's journey into night, kind of thing... But, that was literally about more than 1 year ago now after we went back home, and then recently, when I know that I am going home again by plane.., I feel so excited, at first?.. But then, suddenly I feel lost? 😟.

Anyway, I take a plane to go back home... And this time, I am alone..😥. And now, it feels so weird! 😵.. And, awkward?..
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. - Isaiah 41:10
For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them. - Matthew 18:20
Well yes, there are a lot of people at the airport. It seems to be another one busy day for all the people who are travelling by plane. Although it's not my first time to have been encountered with an active or fully engaged, or occupied environment such as this in the airport... But then, all of a sudden, it reminds me about my younger self...😆, that when I look back on my younger self and I can't help but smile at how naive I was back then. So, I used to travel a lot when I was a student. We usually travelled by plane in groups with friends especially during our study semester breaks, as the airplanes were the only transportation method used because well, we needed to "flew across the sea" 😂 whenever we went back home, each time...
When I was younger, travel took us out of our comfort zones and inspired us to see, taste and tried new things. And during that time, I felt excited and had a lot of fun! It was like, all I thought was me... I only thought about myself. I never really thought about other people or the environment around me. I did not feel nervous or weird... It did not even feel scary! 😬.

Anyway, let's fast-forward to the time I stand now after so many years and to make a comparison or to reflect on how I have changed over time. Surprisingly, when I get older, I have some concerns about a certain situation..😧. But then, it's not really to say that I worry about things but, I become more aware of the people around me. Or, there are times it feels like I appear to be sensible enough to observing my surroundings or things around me. So now, I know that it's not all about me. But, it's merely about all the things that are happening around me.
Just like when I'm at the airport, I tend to see people and to perceive things and also, to be more aware of my environment. So with that, is it wise enough to feel nervous, weird and scared at times like this?
"..Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." - Deuteronomy 31:6
"..The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." - Deuteronomy 31:8
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. - Psalm 34:4
Well yes, I'm travelling alone but I'm still happy to have my brother who comes to fetch me from the airport in the end!..
Actually, I did not notice that my brother was shooting a "mini" video of me upon my arrival 😅... And also together with my nieces 😃... Well, to my beloved and crazy brother.. "Thank you for the lovely shot?".. Huh!
