Free as a bird

"Don't ask her why she needs to be so free. She'll tell you it's the only way to be."
Rolling StonesRuby Tuesday I pick the prettiest part of the sky and I melt into the wing and then into the air, till I'm just soul on a sunbeam.  ~Richard BachIt doesn't hurt to be optimistic.  You can always cry later.  ~Lucimar Santos de Lima

A bird does not sing because it has an answer.  It sings because it has a song.  ~Chinese Proverb  I have come to the realization that I am not meant to be a bird in a cage. I am me, I am supposed to soar. I would be miserable confined in one space. I have to have space to be me. I need to fly. I know I should have realized this along time ago, and maybe I did I just didn't realize it. I have a swallow tattoo, I wear bird jewlrey. I could sit and watch birds soar all day. I am a dreamer, a forever optimist. I never see the bad in a situation. In my life there is no failure. Life only hurts for a minute, if you can always see the good then the pain goes away quickly and there is good in every situation you just have to take the time to see it. I don't want to be anyone else but me. What good is life if you are always sitting around waiting on something bad to happen? How can you enjoy life if you are always making the worst of every situation? I want to spread my wings and fly. I want to sing a beautiful song. I want to sit in the trees and soak up the sun. I want to be me, and not only do I want to be me I want to be a one of a kind me. I don't want to conform to society because it is the right thing to do. Yes it seems I march to the beat of my own drum, but really I am soaring in the sky to a really bad ass guitar solo. P.S. I am pretty sure the last bird in the second row needs to be on my body somewhere!
