Maybe my life is not brilliant, its boring. I go to work and hard work but my boss shout at me everyday. At home I must care about my family. I can't find little free time in my life. because I must keep my life living so I can't give up my job. You don't know how much I want to be a bird. they are flying, singing and dancing. where is warm the fly to where. where is green they settle down where. every where have the food for them. they don't need to pay attention keep living. I want to be a bird, I want fly with them, never to be human...

So many times we all wished we could simply fly away and evade life, much more often than it is possible. You are longing the independence but the obligations are outweighing your wants. I hope things get better for you and you can somehow find a medium with it all as you are human and can scream from time to time, within reason of course.

Birds have their own problem. No creature is free of problem in this world. Just be content with yourself. At least you got a job to pay for your living. You are alive and breathing. You are healthy and have a family. There are any others who are not so lucky.

Perhaps, you should just view your world through a bird's view. If your boss is screaming mad, doesn't that really mean the he is the one with the problem??? Offer him some kind words, maybe a helping hand. You might just be surprised how this might change him. As for the family, sure there are a few problems but don't they all get solved somehow in the end?? Value the joys,the hugs, the laughter, the love you do have. Take them out on a spring day for a picnic. Since you have to eat anyway, this is free, wonderful, stress relieving fun. Remember, you choose what your view in life will be. You can choose to be that bird. Take it from one who knows,a little bird told you.

...Hey there, It sounds to me as if you could use a little cultivation of your imagination. I find that writing short stories and such is a way of having a diversion which is a form of escapism which takes you places without any need to move anywhere physically. Try it, start writing about those birds and whst they do, find a place to have your work published on the internet. It will give you a healthy outlet. If you would like to read some of my daydream work, go to www.authspot.com.writers/quiet+voice.8137...look for "Red Rodeo in Texas". Leave a comment if you do. Take care.

Hello johney. I think that I can understand your feeling because when I work, I am always busy and wish to have a long break. Each time when we have a four-day rest after working for more than ten days, I am so happy and enjoy every moment of my holiday. I can do whatever I wish do during my holidays. Work stress makes us feel bored. What is a pleasant thing for me is the long holidays in summer and in winter so that I can have some time to relax myself totally. If you feel tired, you could take a few days break if possible. It will do you good. Take care.

Bird can't have so colorful life like ours is.Though it may be a hard time now, you may want to quit,there are still turning points,maybe just tomorrow.You need to give yourself courage and enjoy what you have to do now.Find some more fun in working and taking care of your family.How it can be hopeless to be a human? Try pay more attention on other people and all scenes around you,notice more beautiful things.Hope you'd be better.

I think what you're longing for is the freedom to do what you really want, something that you are really passionate about. I think the 'bird' is just a form of symbolism for you to spread your wings and fly. You can do this inspite of your current situation. All it takes is mind-setting. Assert yourself, find a hobby, get into sports, or do some charity work...something that you want to achieve. In this way, you build your self-confidence, you aim for something...getting into something that really fires you up, makes you soar and feel like a bird :-)

I want to be a bird too. Can I come with you? :-) Actually I want to be any kind of animal. I just think that they just know what they have to do. Their lives are not as complicated as the life of a human being.

I hear this from my parents all the time, they work, their boss yells at the, they come home, take care of the kids (me... my sister moved out and is married) and the date repeats. They're sick of it and wish they were old enough to retire. Life sucks and we're just met to work hard, earn money, take care of kids and not have much time left :( I too wish we were free like birds, no worries, flying freely and peaceful except when they fly into a building or something :(

why as a human should have so heavy on shoulder.!

I think everything must have problem for themselves but we don't know each other. Perhaps a bird would like to be a human because we have warm family, best friend or everything.
