A half-birthday and another half-turn of the planet. This turn has sent me both to the skies and to Terra Australis. I flew as a bird with canvas and aluminum wings, and hope to gain my own pair someday. I traveled to my fifth continent, the great Southern mystery, and a land my father has told me stories of my entire life. I hoped to follow in some of his footsteps: to swim in Deception Island, to smell the foul colonies of Emperors, to see no night. I hope that I feel happiness this day, that I can appreciate that I am balancing on the cusp of so many unbelievable experiences, that I could lose myself in just being alive. Everyday is the beginning of a fantastic adventure, whether a person is fifteen or fifty. Embrace it. Embrace every second of it.
