growth.
Artist: Debra Cartwright
"What does growth feel like to you?"
Stagnant.
Suffocating.
The most uncomfortable feeling I've ever felt.
In some moments I'm not sure if I'm growing or breaking.
I feel myself falling apart but I'm not sure if I'm shedding, producing a new layer, or if I'm broken.
Simply, I feel raw. Completely exposed to the world and every element.
I don't recognize myself, physically or mentally.
It's the most difficult thing I've ever gone through.
One thing I can't deny, and it's the reminder I have to reassure me that this is growth, and it's the aches. The aches are growing pains and I remind myself that the pain has the potential to birth a new strength.
Everyday I wake up amazed by the fact that I'm up to see a new day and that I made it through yesterday; I survived.
One day I asked myself "How?", and that's when I knew it was because I had become stronger.
If you have to ask yourself how then acknowledge that you did and figure out the details later.
