A bird flaps its wings, touching each side of its round metal cage. Its lungs suffocate while they expand. You see, birds like this aren’t meant to be enclosed. Their hearts and minds yearn to be free, and capturing them goes against nature. They need to be free to spread their wings. Encasing them against their will causes them to remain frozen in a fleeting moment. And they spend the rest of their lives trying to break free.
Don’t allow yourself to become the bird captured and forever frozen. We aren’t meant to be preserved in the glass-like decomposing butterflies.
