Growth

Growth is a painful thing

By Jazmin FernandezPublished about a year ago 1 min read

A process that can sting,

For it requires us to shed,

The skin of who we were and what we said.

As we grow, we leave behind,

All the things we thought defined,

Us, and who we were before,

As we step into the unknown, unsure.

It's hard to let go of the past,

And all the things we thought would last,

But growth demands we move ahead,

Even when it feels like we're being led.

Through the fire and the pain,

We emerge anew, not quite the same,

For growth transforms us deep within,

As we shed our old skin.

And though it hurts along the way,

The beauty of growth comes to stay,

For, in the end, we're stronger still,

As we rise above the pain and uphill.

So let us embrace the painful growth,

And all the trials that come with both,

For it is through these struggles we find,

A new self, a renewed mind.

Friends, while growth may be painful and difficult at times, it is a necessary part of our journey through life. It allows us to shed our old selves and become the best version of ourselves. It may be a challenging road, but it is one that is worth traveling. So let us embrace the pain and discomfort that comes with growth, and emerge stronger, wiser, and more resilient than ever before. For, in the end, it is through the struggles that we truly grow and flourish.
