Patterns of our lives

“Sometimes you feel like your wings are tied before you could learn to fly. You come from a disadvantaged background and your opportunities are few. You might not have the chance to go to school like your brothers do. You are encouraged to do housework but not to read and write. You learn that you should marry to secure your future but your heart awakens and you want to fly. You are sensitive and that is the strength of your character. You look to the future and are not bound by opportunistic tendencies. You stand your ground, even if noone else around you does. You believe in yourself and something larger than your soul and that determines your flight.”
