I was never good at being alone. And of course, since humans are creatures of habit, I ran away from my deepest connections in hopes to preserve my own existence. It was reckless, but the wind was at my back. It seemed to be my only chance to take flight....
I collapsed at the edge of the world. My fragile, folded wings were burned by the merciless sun in the pure, blue sky. There was nothing but a desert of failure around me. Weary, I fell in and out of restless sleep.
I had traveled as far as I could from the dangerous rays of loneliness but it was no use, it still made its home in my heart, where I kept my dearest comrade in a dark room, while I danced with sadness alone.
I don't remember how much time I spent at the edge of my world, but I can recall one life changing detail. He said:
"Tell me now, do you want to live your
life as a pessimist or an optimist? Life was started for you
but it is up to you to live it, love it and finish it.
Don't keep people out, AND Embrace your existence."
I took flight as a new person that day and headed towards my new life with passion and intelligence. His sweetest words swirled through my wings on my journey home:
"It's okay to smile for yourself. Even if you can't let go of the past,
I will still be there to meet you tomorrow."
