The sky was my archetype.
Ever since I was a child, I had these vivid dreams of soaring. I was sharing airspace with albatrosses, terns, and airplanes. I pictured myself waving at the ascending rockets who were the only ones who dared to reach higher than me. These constant visions never left me.
My parents told me that I could pronounce words like Altitude, Atmosphere, and Nimbus while others were learning how to say things such as cat or dog.
All I wanted was to find a way where I can go beyond the clouds, but there were so many setbacks.
I worried about being a one trick eagle, so I had to occupy my time with other tasks.
…And then when I turned fifteen, it was decided that I would be trading that old line state for green mountain’s majesty.
Vermont will be a great place to soar in the sky.

Very much so! I’ve visited that state when I was in high school and it was certainly beautiful. Flying there must be very scenic with all the green mountains and clean air.

Sugarbush was one of my favorite places to ski–many beautiful memories. The view from the summit was spectacular. I imagine soaring the skies like a bird would be awesome.

I’ve never been to Sugarbush, but it looks like a great place. It’s a shame that I can’t remember all the towns I’ve visited in VT back then. Funny enough, I was with my family where we landed in Syracuse, NY, then Albany (our real plane destination), then took a cab to VT. One town I know I was in was Rutland with explains why I picked it for this story. Even though I didn’t visit the state capital city, did you know that Montpelier is the least populated state capital in America? There are less than 8000 people living there.

That’s interesting, I didn’t know Montpelier was the least populated state capital. I thought it would be some state in the midwest.

Yup. I haven’t been to Montpelier, so I couldn’t tell you what it’s like, but that city does look like a quaint pedestrian-friendly hub. I’ve visited country towns with more people living in them than this particular city. As someone from the Midwest, I do see some humor in that thought and I’ve lived in multiple towns here that have a 5 digit count in the population and at a few points living in a place with a population over 100k.
