I had literally just fallen asleep after crying on the plane. I had been crying (quietly to myself) about how unexplainably beautiful my life has become. Waves of absolute joy and happiness had rolled over my entire body. I thanked the universe for blessing me with the greatest life anyone could ever ask for.
The last thing I had written in my notebook was, “After I recovered from situational depression, I rarely cried for years. Nowadays, I’ve found myself crying so much more. Not because I’m sad but because what I’m experiencing is earth shattering happiness. I could die right now in this moment and I would still be the luckiest person that has ever lived. Ever. Thank you so much. Sometimes I feel like I don’t deserve this life but that mentality honestly disrespects what I have the honor of experiencing. I’m eternally blessed and infinitely grateful. I must have been put on this earth to fully understand the immensity of what life has to offer.”
Then the pilot came on the speaker, he told the passengers to look out the window to the left. I woke up immediately, never being one to miss a good view. I excitedly pulled up the window shade and there it was. The newest most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. The sun setting vibrant orange over a glistening glacial lagoon and vast, jagged snow covered peaks off the coast of Greenland.
I can’t believe what I was seeing. Just today on my bus ride from Oxford to the airport I saw one of the most incredible videos I’ve ever seen on Instagram, I immediately shared to Facebook (which I rarely do). So keep in mind my very last post was of glaciers on the coast of Greenland. I didn’t think I would see Greenland for myself for years, if ever because it isn’t considered a sovereign country and I can’t stray from my goal. However, life seems to have a powerful way of manifesting what I least expect. Now, only a few hours later I’m seeing it for myself, from the air, during sunset.
Speechless, tears of gratitude begin to fill my eyes once again.
I couldn’t make this up even if I tried. October 25th, 2017.
