Watching Wicked cracked something open in me. Alphaba and Glenda arenât just two women who are two sides of the same soul. One forged by fire and shadow, the other sheltered in comfort. Alphabaâs wildness comes from surviving exile and learning to love the parts no one else could. Glendaâs challenge is quieter, the longing for wildness beneath the safety of fitting in.
The moment that undid me was seeing Alphaba rise , not with her own wings, but with a broom. She didnât escape by force, but by trusting the wisdom forged in her hardest moments.
We all reach crossroads like this. Sometimes the world wants only our âgoodâ side, but real freedom is using everything weâve survivedâlight and shadowâas fuel to soar.
If youâre torn between belonging and your wild truth, remember: The part of you forged in shadow is what gives you wings.
