Set Your Wings On Fire

Reflecting on your own fate.

65
Set Your Wings On Fire
Olga Rykova


it was a time that we've always wanted,

but it seems as if it is never going to come.

one single day,

one single moment.


an experience that we deeply long for,

it comes so fast,

yet it takes so long…

a paradox one would say.


almost there to take the biggest leap,

the biggest leap of our lives

we have spent the entirety of it working

working for this.


but all for what?

we were never guaranteed a tomorrow

so why are we always;

planning

hoping

waiting.

on something that may never come.


how selfish of us.


more of an end than anything,

an end to our lives as we know it

but we're not sad

for there is no need to be sad

about things that are out of our control.


that worries you doesn't it?

it’s okay,

it worries me too. . .


No matter what was thought about whether it be overcoming adversity, heartache, or one of the best memories of your life; there is a lesson to be learned. Moments and events are always going to come and there is no way to stop fate. Be hopeful and embrace everything that an experience has to offer, it is up to you to control what you do in the present situation. Live for the now.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
