Some little girls dreamed of being a teacher when they grew up. Or a vet. Or a ballerina. I, however, harboured dreams of being an aviatrix – the next Amelia Earhart. I was enamoured by the idea of taking to the skies, of complete freedom and traveling to strange lands, of the peaceful feeling one must get when looking at the world from a different perspective.
Oh, and did I mention that one of my favourite childhood books was The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery?
So this Halloween, I wanted to give a nod to the little girl in me and dress her up as an aviatrix.
