Starting Within

People experience grief after a break-up differently, but similarly to tasting a beer flight, the interesting thing about grief is how one can bounce from one stage of grief to another and experience various emotions before finally reaching acceptance. "A Flight of Feelings" is a short story about a girl who navigates an unexpected break-up the night before her flight to Toronto and experiences the five stages of grief.  Our protagonist in this short story goes through a period of growth as she processes her feelings from each stage of grief as she desperately seeks closure, but her calls get sent straight to voicemail. After each voicemail, she sits with her own thoughts and eventually realizes that closure is not found in another person, but within herself. In the end, she is able to find closure on her own through forgiveness, understanding, and patience to set herself free and move on to the next chapter of her life.
