Fly alone.
You don't need any support to fly. You can be by yourself. You have got wings, you just need to discover them. Spread them and fly.
It all started one morning when she realized that nothing is gonna be the same as before neither her life nor herself. It was difficult to face the stones life threw at her though she was trained to be both powerful and influential since the beginning of her life.
Suddenly she felt someone invisible shaking her and whispering into her ears that you are indestructible, indefatigable and you cannot fall. She took a deep breath, shook off everything- the anxiety, the heaviness she felt in her body, went near to the window and looked up in the black, dark sky. She saw an illuminous orb- the moon. No one knew what she was thinking or looking at but it was the time she was about to realise something very important. There were hundreds and thousands of thoughts floating in her head but there was this one thought that kept on popping up, it kept striking her and that made the difference.
She understood the truth about everything be it her life or the path she was about to step which a shining orb made her realise. She felt that the orb came up to her to specially tell her "look I am alone too, I may not have a clear white shinning surface, I am not perfect but everyone looks up to me, everyone wants to see me, though there are so many stars no one among them could ever replace my place in this wide dark clouds, no one can never be me or overpower me".
These words were not just words for her, they had her back through all, fought her corner. The made her realise that she should stop acting like she isn't enough. They made her believe that she is powerful and ravishing and nothing can change how huge her heart is. She felt not just the moon but also the cold chilling breeze, airing her cuts begged her to breathe and to come out from the world of emotions and don't let her inner critic tell her what she should and shouldn't feel and that everything is gonna be fine. Even the stars wanted her to know that look how far you have already come and how elegantly you have carried yourself through hell and for the strength you held yourself with through every challenge and rough time you have been through. They made her believe that she is so well raised and has the endurance to pass through the storm which has kept control of her and still believes in herself even when she felt that life is slipping by. They made her understand that she has so much potential for the things which are left for her and that this is not the end of her life.
She felt like even the wolf howling encouraged her to fly in the dark. She felt a strong message from everyone saying that eagles fly alone, pigeons flock together so don't be afraid of being outnumbered. She felt like the herd of wolves pushed her off the cliff to make her learn to fly alone. She understood that those who fly solo have the strongest wings. She realised her powers and believed in herself, making her mind understand that from now on no one will be able to stop her and no one will be able to make her do what she doesn't want to. The matter will be only about her.
Those who knew how to read eyes knew that she is way happier now after deciding to stay alone. Staying alone doesn't mean being lonely, it just means that neither the mind is contaminated nor the life is restricted. It means to be by yourself and being the sole decider of what is right or wrong for yourself. She gathered herself and became the way she was before.
Now she knew why people follow each other because being alone has a power that only a few can handle. Her wings took her to ridiculously beautiful places she didn't even know existed before she learned to fly alone. She stood up for better even if it meant to be standing alone because she was strong and wild, fond of the wind and storm, flying far out to the sea and being happy and independent, were all she wanted.
