Growth is Life

Isn’t it funny how life yanks you by the hand and careens around the corner,

How you gasp for air that isn’t there,

How you feel thrown into new spaces with new people,

How you are plunked into a new schedule,

and expected to grow?

Isn’t that funny?

It makes you feel exhausted,

Stressed,

Tired. It also makes you feel happy,

Alive,

Independently free.

Isn’t that funny? Isn’t it funny how life yanks you by the hand and careens around the corner,

How you calmly breathe the stinging wind,

How you are thrown into a new adventure with fun people,

How you are plunked into new schedules,

And how you grow in the new block around the corner?
