Some days, I'm barely strong enough to carry the burden of my heavy heart, let alone the weight of the world on my shoulders, some days I need space on my own, no internet, no mobile phone, and some days, I just want to run away from it all. But then on some days, I hear a voice call in the back of my mind, each syllable sounds like a little droplet of light and it says to me, 'Why would you want to run when you have wings for feet? Fly.' So, this is to all those with wings for feet who keep on running, please do not run. Fly.”
