in another world, when you are loved, you grow wings Ā to show it. the bigger the love, the bigger the wings.Ā
and a world that sees wings as the ultimate status symbol. celebrities with gigantic wings that cannot fly because they are too heavy. monarchs that have stylists to enlarge their (very stumpy) wings.Ā
babies born with the soft proof of their parentās love, babies flaking off feathers when their parents donāt care enough. teenagers who watch their wings flake and grow every day, never sure who loves them or doesnāt. having your crush figure out you like him because his wings wonāt stop fluffing up.Ā
bullies who fake having large wings, who hurt others because they never felt whole, who go home and try to wish their feathers into growing. gentle, soft people who have long wings theyāre embarrassed of, who tuck them and try to be average because they donāt like showing off.Ā
weddings where thereās so much love in the room everyoneās wings swell up. the couple having perfectly matched wings which donāt stop their steady growth. waking up next to your husband of six years to find heās gone and all your feathers have fallen off.
a girl who is pushed down and laughed at for her little wings, her broken home. who knows sheās ugly for it, who feels perfectly alone. who one day walks into a room with another girl who happens to complement her shirt and within six days has become the closest friend sheās ever learned. her wings spreading big and wide and proud over other peopleās heads, her new feathers getting in the way because sheās not used to them, pushing her new feathers out of the way so she can kiss the girl sheās dreamed about.
finding your best friend and watching the feathers sprout. lying awake in bed feeling useless and yet having this proof that someone out there loves you. helping a stranger on the train only to have a few cautious pinfeathers tickle their way out. wondering if they felt that tickle, too.
waking up from a dream very confused, hoping a boy six blocks down doesnāt come into school with suddenly slightly larger wings. ace people with arching wings who are absolutely loved by their friends, who are absolutely loving. your boyfriend promising you that boy heās flirting with means nothing, finding that your feathers are slowly falling out in the shower each morning.Ā
having average wings and a sad heart and doing your best to be alive and happy and whole but failing terribly - but workingĀ towards it, slowly, until one day you see your wings spreading and get excited about who it could be, who liked you enough to change you this drastically; only to figure out on a tuesday afternoon that itās you, youāre the one who loves yourself for once; and the thought is so big and wide and lovely that you sit down on the floor and canāt stop crying because despite everything, you madeĀ it. and thatās amazing.
