#Repost///@yeonmi_park: “Growing up in North Korea, I envied the birds and mice, who with a flap of their wings or a scuttle of their feet could escape to China and easily find food. I was jealous of birds in particular. All children at some stage in their growing up wish they can fly, but it’s the wish to transcend earthly life, to be more than human, like a comic book hero, or a Disney character.I wanted to fly so that I could be less than human, or what it means to be human in North Korea—more discreet, with greater freedom of maneuver, for no other reason than that it would allow me to find food, fly freely and look for something to eat.” - An excerpt from While Time Remains: https://py.pl/1q8MUg (link in bio) Let us not take our liberty for granted ♥️
