    It is not about the
    BEAUTY OF THE FLOWER.
    it is about the
    ROOTS THAT MADE IT GROW.

    Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.

    “ I know this transformation is painful, but you're not falling apart; you're just falling into something different, with a new capacity to be beautiful. ”

    There are two kinds of people. One kind, you can just tell by looking at them at what point they congealed into their final selves. It might be a very nice self, but you know you can expect no more suprises from it. Whereas, the other kind keep moving, changing… They are fluid. They keep moving forward and making new trysts with life, and the motion of it keeps them young. In my opinion, they are the only people who are still alive. You must be constantly on your guard against congealing.
    — Gail Godwin

    Pain is a pesky part of being human, I've learned it feels like a stab wound to the heart, something I wish we could all do without, in our lives here. Pain is a sudden hurt that can't be escaped. But then I have also learned that because of pain, I can feel the beauty, tenderness, and freedom of healing. Pain feels like a fast stab wound to the heart. But then healing feels like the wind against your face when you are spreading your wings and flying through the air! We may not have wings growing out of our backs, but healing is the closest thing that will give us that wind against our faces.~C. JoyBell C.

    Check yourself. Sometimes you are the toxic person. Sometimes you are the mean, negative person you’re looking to push away. Sometimes the problem is you. And that doesn’t make you less worthy. Keep on growing. Keep on checking yourself. Keep on motivating yourself. Mistakes are opportunities. Look at them, own them, grow from them and move on. Do better, be better.

    Like a wild flower;
    she spent her days,
    allowing herself
    to grow, not many
    knew of her struggle,
    but eventually all;
    knew of her light.

    I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It’s so… heroic.

    People say to you ‘you've changed’ or something like that – well, I hope for the sake of God that you have changed, because I don't want to be the same person all my life. I want to be growing, I want to be expanding. I want to be changing. Because animate things change; inanimate things don't change. Dead things don't change. And the heart should be alive, it should be changing, it should be moving, it should be growing, its knowledge should be expanding.
    —Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

    grow in their heart
    learn to be content
    that it grew in yours

    It has been one of the greatest
    and most difficult years of my life. I learned everything is temporary. Moments. Feelings. People. Flowers. I learned love is about giving everything and letting it hurt. I learned vulnerability is always the right choice because it is easy to be cold in a world that makes it so very difficult to remain soft. I learned all things come in twos. Life and death. Pain and joy. Salt and sugar. Me and you. It is the balance of the universe. It has been the year of hurting so bad but living so good. Making friends out of strangers. Making strangers out of friends. Learning mint chocolate chip ice cream will fix just about everything, and for the pains it can't there will always be my mother's arms. We must learn to focus on warm energy. Always. Soak our limbs in it and become better lovers to the world. For if we can't learn how to be kinder to each other, how will we ever learn to be kinder to the most desperate parts of ourselves?

    I fell hard for you.
    It was literally love at first sight.
    I didn't realize it then and I would probably have denied it if someone had mentioned it.
    But, I also knew that we didn't really have a chance, since we didn't know each other.
    It was more of the idea of having someone like you in my story.
    After months, I thought I got over you, finally.
    I mean, it was mostly just wishful thinking.
    I don't know if it seems creepy, but I guess we all have that person we fell for but never truly had.
    I planned to never give up, but I also had to "move on".
    You know, it had been a couple years.
    Until that summer.
    We got close, we became best friends.
    We laughed, and you saw me when I was tired and crazy.
    You put on a "judging face", but oh how we both just ended up laughing.
    I realized that those butterflies never really left me.
    I simply just never saw you, so they didn't have the chance to flutter their beautiful wings.
    The summer came to an end, and even though we got close, a part of me wish we had a even closer connection.
    Call me selfish or ungrateful,
    But I still wonder what could have been.
    Then, next time we saw each other,
    I felt everything like the first time we met each others eyes.
    I tried to not let it get to me.
    We just acted like old times, seemed like you never left my side.
    Later that night, you said some sweet things, things a best friend would say, but it felt like more.
    You got my wishful thinking going again.
    I think I love you.
    Not just the idea of you.
    You are a beautiful individual.
    Inside and out.
    You seem to doubt yourself, like everyone, but you have no reason to.
    I hope we have some sort of a future.
    Brief or forever.
    Whatever would work.
    I just want to know what it would be like to be in your arms.
    Never change.
    I hope you find someone that makes you truly happy and that deserves your love.
    Even if it is not meant to be me.

    Which do you want: the pain of staying where you are, or the pain of growth?
