It actually has been quite a few days since my arrival at Sol. The moment I laid my eyes on the magnificent star that gave birth to humanity, the swelling emotions in my heart were ones of joy and awe.Sol as a system is insignificant. a Single star surrounded by countless celestial bodies that revolved around it in a dance of eons, just like countless other systems in this seemingly boundless galaxy.
Yet it is this very place, that first gave rise to the Federation... To the humanity.
Humanity... I always had this sense of inferiority back in the academy. I've never tasted real food, never touched real soil. I felt like I was less so of a human being because I was different with the rest of my class. I felt like I was some pretender wearing the skin of a human; Yarning to become, yet never will be.
But in that moment... The moment I laid my eyes on Sol, its insignificance in the grand scale of the galaxy somehow imbued me with newfound strengths and confidence. It also gave me a goal in this life, a reason to continue my journey as a pilot.
Galaxy awaits.
