You might've heard this expression before: "Growing wings is impossible!" Or, maybe this one: "If you weren't made with wings, then you weren't meant to have them!"
Maybe you've heard it from a friend who now thinks your crazy, or maybe a parent whom thinks they know all and everything...
But I'm writing this journal, to throw all of that terrible doubtful mind-washing into the garbage disposal.
Growing wings IS possible. Though, it is NOT for everyone, and it isn't what everyone may think it is.
______________________________First, lets get this misinformation out of the way-
1.) Wings do NOT grow instantaneously.
Not in an hour, night, week, month... NOPE. It takes YEARS of waiting. Not one, not two- the average is five to seven, if not more years to grow them.
Just imagine how fucking painful it would be, to sprout bone and stretch skin, all in the span of an hour. That will definitely cause disfigures, tearing, scaring, and bleeding.
2.) Not everyone is meant to grow wings.
Think about it this way-
If everyone who've ever wanted wings could get them, then almost EVERYONE would have them.
3.) You shouldn't depend on spells, subliminals, and any other method alone.
For SOME reason, people decide to trick others, saying that instantaneous spells and subliminals work within an hour; making everyone who finds it very excited- only to be disappointed when their wings don't appear in said hour. [ see point 1]
4.) Wings are NOT retractable.
I mean- are your arms and legs retractable? No. Your growing two extra limbs on your back. Once your wings finally protrude, where are you going to put them? You can't reverse the growth, and you can't force the limbs back inside of you.
You'd think- "oh, that's fine, I'll just tuck them." But realize when your wings reach a flyable length, you won't be ABLE to tuck them. Maybe if you wear a large trench coat, but I'm almost 100% certain your primary feathers would show at the bottom of it. Not only that, but wearing a trench coat in the midst of a hot summer day would look... suspicious.
