So, why "Wind Beneath My Wings?"

Well, this is the name of a Bette Midler song that was shown in the movie Beaches. Seeing as beaches, in general, are such a huge part of my life as one could gather from the previous post, the name of the movie itself is very applicable to my life. However, it's the specific line that helps one to understand my desire to travel.

There has to be wind beneath a bird's wings in order to make it fly and keep it in flight. In my life, the actual wind is the family structure that I have. My family, especially my sister, are all my heroes. The are my backbone; they keep me going, and they are the wind beneath my wings. Although one leaves their family to see the world, my family is the wind that keeps me floating. I am so close to my family, and they want me to fulfill my dreams. I yearn to see the world, and experience it to the fullest. So even though they do not want me to leave, they want me to live the life I imagined and come back to share stories.

The wind is also ambition. I have a huge amount of drive within me to strive to be the best I can be. 21 years old is a great age, not only because one can indulge (heavily) into alcoholic drinks, but because I feel as if it is take off time! My whole life I have been taught in school, and there has been a set path I should follow. Now, everyone veers off track occasionally, but in general, I have stuck to the path. However, starting in the spring when I graduate and head off into the "real world," I will be ready for take-off because of the confidence and education I have beneath me. I have and my ambition to live the life I've dreamed, become successful in TV/Comedy writing and stay close to my family, always!

"Fly, fly, fly high against the sky,

so high I almost touch the sky.
Thank you,
thank you,
thank God for you,
the wind beneath my wings."
-Bette Midler
