The 4 Steps of Growing Up as a Pilot

Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

As a kid, I always assumed there was some process by which you formally transitioned into adulthood, perhaps earning a badge that certified you had the knowledge to handle any situation life could throw at you. Grown-ups just seemed so different. Then I had kids of my own and realized everyone is faking it — there is no light-switch moment. Instead, you slowly evolve until one day you admit, “I’m one of the grown-ups now.”
