Welcome Aboard: Pilot

Welcome!

I am grateful for you taking time out of your day to read this: my very first blog post. Now you may be curious as to why this is called a pilot and that is purely because this is written by a drama fanatic. If you are too then you would know that most dramas name their very first episode as “pilot”. Although this is true, it is not the entire reason. I debated over this for days if not weeks as nothing I could think of felt impactful enough.

So why pilot?

Pilots are entrusted to safely transport passengers from point A to point B. The departure and arrival may be turbulent but most of the journey will be smooth, or at least we hope it to be. But our day to day reality is far from this, in fact I’m sure most people reading this will have experienced many rough patches and may even be going through one right now. And much unlike pilots who have extensive experience under their hat and could probably fly these planes with their eyes closed, we are like trainee pilots who should be sitting behind simulators and learning how to control the plane first before even thinking of liftoff. But we are in the pilot’s seat and some of you might be quick learners and confident in your abilities but I would like to say the majority are blindly hoping we don’t crash and burn somewhere along the way. So think of this blog as anything you need it to be: a motivator when you’re feeling adrift, a relatable friend when you’re feeling alone or just a quick escape from the casual chaos of life. This will be a safe environment where all opinions will be respected and like my pilot analogy, take this blog as an emotional journey where we embark together and help one other on the way to our very own destinations. So please fasten your seatbelts and hope you enjoy your flight!
