Guess who’s back - Dear Luna

Dear Luna,


Guess who’s back?!?


Me!


I want to surrender myself to sleep but I am currently on my delayed plane, waiting for lift off which should have happened over two hours ago. Sure, some people would be reading this and think, just go to sleep. And I would love to, but I am also on duty to update my family for them to know what time to leave to pick me up from the airport in Naples.


Summer has arrived which means holidays in the warmth, instead of miserable England which has been raining for the past week or two. But, alas (always wanted to use this word), an obstacle has occurred which means temperatures in the thirties is still out of reach, but hopefully the plane will depart, soon. 


We were about to leave but something was wrong with the engine making the plane turn back around. Fire services came on, followed by the engineers, and two cabin crews had to be swapped due to the fumes they breathed in. But thankfully, we should be leaving soon as everything has been signed off and everything is safe. 


I’m rather shocked that something like this didn’t happen when my cousin and I were travelling Asia earlier in the year. Especially with the many planes we took, you’d think one of them would have ended up being delayed a lot. But no, instead this had to happen at the start of the summer holidays.


I can’t help but think how this represents my life, everytime excitement fizzles inside of me that I am moving forward in my life, something happens and pushes back. 

And just as I wrote that sentence, we have been told that we are ready to lift off. 

Maybe that’s a sign. Because at the end of day, I was always going to go to Italy to see my family, no matter if there was some pushback. 

Perhaps that’s what I need to take in. Because by the end of it, what I want to achieve in life will happen, no matter the challenges that will arise. I will become an author even if there is some pushback in my journey.


Maybe that is something we all need to take in, no matter when we feel we are not moving anywhere in our life, to remember that we are, even if the steps to achieving it seem very small.


Now, I am off to sleep for the whole of the plane journey.


Until next time, Luna. 


❤️❤️❤️

Vientine, Laos - Dear Luna

Dear Luna, When I was younger, I saw his carton picture in a history book at school, showing the fear that people had when it came to electricity. The sky was filled with thousands of spider-webbed wires going from the electricity pole to all of the buildings around them. Here, I am in the capital of Laos and this cartoon has come to life. When arriving here, all I could do is peer out of the car window, staring with amazement at all of this. I understand why many people were trembling with living in a world that looked like it was being taken over, because seeing this in real life, gives an allure of dystopian.  Even though this city gives this sort of vibe, the warmth here compared to Hanoi, Vietnam is one that I am enjoying so much. Our days are spent in shorts and t-shirts, whilst back at home, our family is all stuck wearing wooly jumpers. And away from the wires that scar the blue sky, are the temples that bless this capital with beauty. In the 1800s, Vien

The End - Dear Luna

Dear Luna, As I sit here, waiting to board my second plane, I can’t help but think about the wonderful adventure I have taken part in over the past four months. If fourteen-year-old me knew that at twenty-three I was going to be away from my family for four months, exploring and visualising the beauty of some of these countries in Asia, I would have been gobsmacked. But here I am, at the end of it all. And it’s rather sad that it has come to an end, four months have flown by (a cliche, but very true). All of the excitement which I was looking forward to when I first travelled here are now all memories. One part of travelling is looking forward to going on tours and doing activities you never thought you would do, and now, I don’t even have that. However, I do have other things to look forward to . Such as publishing my books, which will happen, I am going to be a published author and no one will stop me. I’m also going to run half a marathon. I will be travelling to other places. And I
