Swinging is the closest I feel to flying.
Swinging

Swinging gives such a whimsical and nostalgic sensation of joy. Life stands still.

I loved swings when I was a kid. They were (and still are) my most favourite part of the playground.

Swings are the best inventions ever! Though the ones I see aren't that pretty, hehe

swings are magical and lovely! my neighbor has a swing some what like the last picture and it makes me feel like i'm in fairy tale story whenever i give it a go. if only i was brave enough to wear an amazing dress on a swing then it would be picture perfect. i'd be too scared to ruin such a pretty dress.

with love
