Won’t get derailed from finding my path

2022 was a very trying year for me. Lot’s of events really derailed me to the point of making me question some areas of my life. I want this 2023 year to start off on a positive note. I want to find a new path to my life, a path where I can actually feel joy, freedom and happiness. However the start of this 2023 year was not what I expected . Just getting to the New Year was a journey in itself. I was traveling out of state and of course my flight was canceled. I was able to get another flight a day later, a red-eye with a 45 minute layover in New York. I’ve never been to New York so I thought what the fuck, a little adventure might do me so good. So got on my red-eye flight to New York, slept most of the way there. Once landed it took longer than expected to get to gate. I was fortunate (I thought) my flight exited out of the gate next to where my connecting flight would be boarding. So being hopeful and excited I strolled over to the next gate to jump on my connecting flight. Well luck was not on my side. I was informed that there was a gate change and that the new departing location was at the other end of the JFK Airport. So I had run my happy ass down to the other end of the airport only to find out that my flight was delayed by an hour.

Once on my now delayed flight I thought it would be just a quick 2 hour flight to my destination…

WRONGO!!!

Early in the flight the attendants were fussing with the panels above the exit doors. The plane was freezing and it was a rather long period of time before the Captain chimed in to let us know that the drink cart was on it’s way around with over priced cocktails and over salted and carb filled snacks. Or that we had the opportunity to get up and use the worlds most uncomfortable and tiniest toilet. Well the captain did chime in only to tell us that there was a problem with the cabin air pressure and that we would be making an emergency landing in Boston. Yes folks I said Boston. Never been to Boston before either. So we landed with emergency vehicles at the ready just in case something went awry. No like this trip didn’t already turn in to a clusterfuck adventure. I was going to call it a day and get a flight home, but with the quick actions of the staff at Boston Logan International Airport, we were put on another fight with just a 2 hour delay.

I finally reached my destination 2 days later than originally planned. And although from all the traveling, that completely tuckered me out and made me miss the ringing in of the New Year, I still enjoyed the rest of my short and sweet vacation. This 2023 year for me will be full of changes and challenges possibly, but what ever might come my way, I’ll keep my chin up and not let it derail me.
