Once upon a time there was a girl who wanted to fly, to soar up in the sky and feel the wind whooshing through her hair. She was always asking people around her if there was a way to reach her goal but they would always laugh it off and tell her it wasn't possible.
"Little girls cannot fly, God meant for our feet to stay on the ground, especially little girls."
People around her were always crushing her dreams, day in and day out. It hurt her very deeply but she never let it show, she just kept her head up high and continued to dream.
As she got a bit older, she had an amazing idea!
"If nobody knows how to fly yet, why don't I find out?"
She researched and researched and researched, desperate to prove everyone wrong and desperate to achieve her dreams. She wondered what the clouds would feel like on her skin so up high in the sky.
She researched for months and months and when she became confident that she knew how to fly, she told her mom.
"Mom! Look, I found a way to fly!"
"I told you, God doesn't want girls to fly. Girls shouldn't be in the library reading, they should be cooking in the kitchen with everyone else."
"But-"
"No buts. Come on now."
A few years later, she was finally done with her research. She was so pumped to finally put her new wings to the test. She told her mom that she was going to touch the clouds and feel whooshing in her air. Her mom ignored her. So did everyone else. Who needs them anyways? Not her.
The girl stood on a ledge and put on her wings. The world was going to remember her one way or another. She jumped off the edge and fell. She felt no whooshing or clouds but that was okay, she was finally happy to be set free.
Her mom found her an hour later dead with a note on her wings that said "I flew, now it's time for me to go with the angels where they want me. Where I can be happy."
