The sky and its extension, the vacuum of space, has fascinated me ever since I first saw an episode of Star Trek. As to the reason why, it might have something to do with the freedom that these environments represent; you aren't confined by the restrictions of gravity and land formations. To be able to travel endlessly coming across fantastic and unknown places is something extremely appealing, but to undertake such an epic quest requires confidence that I do not have. The fact is that I am comfortable where I am, just like I am much more comfortable alone than with others of my species, yet I desire a life in the sky. Such contradictory behavior is not very conducive to change, so what to do about it? The simple answer would be to challenge my boundaries of comfort, but I don't know that I'm ready for that quite yet. I suppose for now, my dreams will have to fill my desire to fly forever.
