I'm doing 21 things
On the red eye flight, I decided to open the window shutter thing to see if I could see anything on the ground since we were passing by near the north pole, despite it being completely dark. And to my astonishment, there were faint green squiggles in the sky (I wish I could come up with a more poetic way to describe them… but I’m not a poet.) I was so excited but everyone was asleep and I was really tempted to wake up everyone around me although I was traveling alone, and did not know anyone. I wasn’t even sure if they really were actually northern lights… but I did a bit of research to check if they can actually be seen from planes, and I’m pretty damn sure I did! It’s actually one of the things to do on my “before I die” list, and it was so amazing I was sure God was granting me one last wish before the plane crashed or something. It wasn’t that great of an aurora, but it sure saved me alot of money by sparing me the trip to alaska one day. But I need to see it again, and hopefully an even more beautiful one!
