Extract from my latest prose piece. Received great feedback from my professor, wanted to share it with someone in the world. Hope you like it.
Without a moment’s notice I can feel the wings split my skin open, expand and place itself to sit perfectly between my shoulder blades. The translucent, fragile membrane fluttering the water beneath me and I feel a surge of life crush the poisons in my breasts and fill my lungs with one last moment. My eyes flutter open and are exposed to light scattering its way between dancing leaves and I watch the blue sky hide behind the trees. I feel my shoulder blades twist and my body quiver and I elevate from my drifting state. Although now small, I am bursting with life and with oxygen. I make my way up high, far above the trees, forcibly exposing the sky in all its grandeur. I fly high above mountains, high above clouds, so high I have a taste of heaven left on my lips.

I find it amazing, a man silent in his most popular films had so much to say. When he opened his mouth he inspired people to be better. Click the title to be inspired.
Call it a cliché line of thought I’m having right now but I sometimes get an overwhelming urge to drop my life as it is and pick up a new one, untouched and new to me. Many great writers, bloggers and just every day people have quit their jobs, left the people in their lives in which dragged them down and ditched all institutions in which bonded them to their place in the world, to explore, to feel something astonishingly new in order to awaken some sort of spirit in them. I want that. I envy their first thought to leave what they knew, I envy their determination to demolish all fear in which sets them away from discovering that spirit in their lives. My spirit is to say the least, no existent, maybe just for now but nonetheless non existent. Would I quit my life as it is right now? If anyone was to ask me that question right now, I’d quite firmly say ‘No’. Why? Because I have too much to grow before I give it all up to ‘find myself’. Usually when an individual takes the task to find themselves, they’ve already discovered they have a preconceived notion of what they’re not. I don’t have that quite yet, maybe I’m young, naive and fresh with hopes or maybe I don’t quite reach the level other’s reach to realize their spiritless. For now, I’m content with my life, I just hope one day I feel that overwhelming sense of determination in which makes one senseless, because being senseless could possibly lead me to realize I have a spirit in which deserves to see the world beyond my own. I hope I’ll finally be able to hand it the appreciation it deserves.
Sincerely yours,
YoungLady
