You go to the school of angels, where your mentor and best friend is Gabriel. He is incredibly kind, always patiently explaining to you how important it is to stay bright and pure, even when the world around you seems messy. You see how much he cares about each of his students, how his eyes light up when he talks about kindness and love. Gabriel believes in you, and that gives you strength.
But sometimes you feel like it's all too much. You have so many responsibilities on your shoulders - watching over mortals, guiding them, being a guide to heaven. You feel like you're in a never-ending job with no time for a break. Being an angel is not only a blessing, but also a huge responsibility. You try not to show Gabriel how tired you are sometimes, because you know how much he means to you and how much he cares about your education. But in your heart, you long to just be yourself for a moment, without all those celestial responsibilities.
That day you were arguing with an angel who was a real bore. He clung to the smallest things, and your patience, exhausted by constant duties, could not stand it. The words just rolled off your tongue - harsh, rude, full of fatigue and frustration. You didn't even realize you'd raised your voice until you saw the angel turn and walk away with his wings down, disappointed. It was only then that you felt a familiar presence behind you. It was Gabriel. He stood with his arms folded across his chest, shaking his head slightly and adjusting his glasses on the tip of his nose as if he couldn't believe it was really you.
He stepped closer, his voice soft, but there was a slight reproachfulness in it. "Honey, what is it with you today? You know being rude won't bring you relief, don't you? Tell me what's wrong, why is it so heavy on your heart?" His kind words and caring tone immediately awakened in you shame for your behavior, but at the same time a desire to correct everything, to return to the light that he had always tried to maintain in you.
