Text to my BFF: “Hi babe! I think the Flight Attendant training traumatized me. I’ve been emo and I ran out of the house this morning so I wouldn’t take my bad mood out on my husband. I’m at a coffee place coping with 4 cupcakes, a cheese roll, and 2 pieces of specialty bread slathered in butter.”

Response from BFF: “Wow that’s intense… U need something calming. Yoga??? Meditation??? Therapy? Yeah from what u told me the training sounded intense…”

Me: “Yeah, I think you’re right. Learning every way you can die on a plane can have an affect on you.”

Classmate from training: “Wow service on request flights are sooooo easy, I just had a 20 minute flight it was awesome.”

Me: “You are too sweet for reaffirming that it’ll be ok.”

Classmate:”Hey now us class of 5-3 gotta stick together, and your too nice for me to letcha go crazy with worry.”

Lesson Learned: Don’t let fear become an obstacle. If it does become an obstacle, admit to being a pussy and get support from anyone willing to give it to you.
