The Young Eagle Is About To Leave The Nest Once Again
Young birds need to be taken care of by their parents. Need to be taught how to fly and guided accordingly. Birds so young need to stay in the nest for quite a time until they are already ready and spread their wings to leave the nest.
Just like a bird, I consider myself as a young eagle who is now ready to take on the world yet afraid and sad at the same time. With hesitations and fear to take on the world on my own.
I am talking about leaving my house again, or in what is the nest of birds. My summer vacation officially ends now and I have yet to leave the nest once again. Why do I say that I have yet to leave the nest once again?
Before, I had already left my nest. The place where I grew up and where I was nourished by guidance and care from the people around me. I just had to leave because of my studies. But because of the pandemic, I was able to go back to the nest once again and stayed a little longer. By this, I get attached and not wanting to leave the house again.
The presence of the people around me is what I missed the most during the times that I wasn't home. Even though we aren't a family that is too close to each other, the fact that I don't see them in my surroundings saddens me. I know that I should get used to this because I have to take my own flight. That I have to take myself on my greatest adventures and to make my dreams come true and that I cannot do it on the nest itself.
I was happy during my one week vacation. I get to spend my time at home and with my friends. In fact, it is one of the reasons why I do not want to leave anymore. I got so attached to the feeling of being happy again with them that I don't think I can experience this with other people.
But here comes Monday, the day where academic life starts once again. Also a day when I eventually leave my nest and settle down to a place where I can consider as my home. A place where I can be fully responsible for my actions and what my life would turn out to be.
Now is the time where my life would depend on my actions. The way I do things will greatly impact what is going to happen on the next day. And with this great adventure, I just hope that it all goes well just like a young eagle tries to fly out of its nest for the very first time.
I would take this opportunity to take on a flight to reach my dreams. To what I aspire to be. Just like how an eagle soars in the sky. Fast but has a reserved energy to take on its next flight. To be seen by the people around me to grow in an environment that I can flourish and to make myself and them all proud is what I want on this adventurous flight.
Author's Note:
I just got from my rest from packing my clothes as of the time that I was writing this. It is sad and the separation anxiety is slowly crippling in. But I had to leave for what will be the best for me.
Thank you for reading this. I hope you had a great weekend and have great days ahead of you!
