As a child, I always thought that if I had wings, I could soar like an angel. However, as time passed, I realized that fulfilling such a naive dream is far from easy. I like to imagine life as a vast sky, and I am like a swallow-tail kite drifting without a string. Even without the tether, I know that my parents' boundless love is always there, guiding me from afar.
Though the absence of a string might make me feel as if I cannot fly freely, the truth is that this is all due to the greatest love in the world.
When the sky is clear, I soar through the thick clouds like other kites, driven by an intense curiosity to see the world's secrets. I want to fly to the ends of the earth to witness what is called "paradise"; I want to reach the other side of the rainbow to find a wonderland; I want to traverse forests to behold the breathtaking scenery, and even break through the clouds to seek more beauty!
But everything changes. The sky can instantly shift from sunny to overcast, followed by violent winds and thunder. In those moments, I feel discouraged, fearful, and anxious, feeling fragile before the whims of fate. Yet, during such times, a certain power always envelops me, protecting and guiding me. By the time I realize it, I have already overcome the hardship. I think that is the power of love, supporting us in our darkest hours.
In the sky of life, we are free to fly, yet our parents' love can sometimes feel distant. Sometimes, like a strict eagle mother, they may push their timid eaglets off a cliff to teach them how to fly! Eventually, when the mother stops being soft-hearted and prays, "Fly, my child! Spread your wings and fly bravely!", the timid eaglet finally understands. It spreads its wings with all its might and flies back to its mother's side!
When pursuing your dreams, spread your wings bravely. Do not overthink or fear the difficulties ahead. Even if you end up bruised and battered, at least you once fought for your dream! Perhaps the next stop is where the dream begins to manifest!
Be someone who dares to challenge themselves. In the vastness of life, victory does not always belong to the fastest or the strongest, but to those who believe in themselves. A few bites from flies can never restrain a brave, galloping horse!
There is a power that drives us forward.
There is a power that makes us take flight.
There is a power that makes us shine.
There is a power that helps us achieve our dreams!
