"Wings" Luisa Deflorian · 2025
I didn’t leave because the place I come from no longer felt like home. I left because, at a certain point, I felt that staying would mean giving up a part of myself I had yet to discover. That pull is hard to explain: it isn’t a rejection of my roots, but a desire to find out how far I can go.Moving to the Netherlands gave shape to that desire. I left behind the familiarity of everyday life, the closeness of the people I love, and the comfort of knowing my way around. Distance made me miss what I had left, but it also taught me to look within myself for strengths I didn’t know I had. I came to understand that roots don’t only hold us in place: they can give us the strength to go far.For me, growing wings doesn’t mean flying without fear. It means leaving even when I’m afraid, accepting that I may feel like a stranger for a while, and learning, step by step, to build a new sense of home. Choosing to leave didn’t mean I stopped belonging to my country. I carried who I am with me, while making room for who I might become. Sometimes, growing begins with that choice.
