She smiled as she felt her dress flutter from the force of the wind. She was flying! She was flying and it was marvelous! She never felt as free as she did in that moment. For once she had taken control of herself and made the leap, but she had also relinquished control of everything else. It was freedom in a way she had never experienced before.

She knew that, at some point in time, she might have to land again. Such a thing was inevitable. Even migrating birds that can fly vast distances over oceans had to put their feet down again eventually. Gravity will always have its way. But this was her chance to defy it.

The ground drew nearer – she could feel it. It was as if some part of her psyche kept tabs on reality even if the rest of her had refused to. It was a part she hated. Her smile faded and she sighed wondering how close it was to the end, for she could not see it. Her eyes were firmly closed. She had refused to open them throughout this last journey. She had the courage to let go, but was too scared to do so with open eyes.

It was almost symbolic of her life before. She had been so blind as she stumbled through so many important events, or at least, so it seemed. For she had missed them all. Every big milestone was just another day. Every precious person was just another face. Every opportunity was a doomed failure as she failed to notice them from the start.

Yes, she had definitely lived her life with closed eyes and today would be no different. She would fly today. She would spread her arms and soar into the horizon; far, far away from the life she had lived up until then.

Her smile grew again as something gave a terrifying shriek beneath her and landed with a cracking thud. She lifted her face up to the warmth of the sun and felt her spirit being pulled towards it. Gravity’s shackles fell from her body as she hoped they would. Even that annoying part of her mind had given in that reality doesn’t matter anymore. She was free. She was flying. She was flying and, while she kept her eyes closed, it was marvelous!

A/N This kinda came out of nowhere… I don’t agree with what is written above… It was just a different thought on it.
