Self Reflection

Pruning

By Heather RoachPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

When you understand how we grow like a toxic and invasive vine amongst each other, devouring each flower just before it blooms to fill ourselves, then you will understand why it is so important to tend to your own vine first. We are supposed to be pruning ourselves instead of eating the fruits of those around us. Stake yourself firm in your own soil. Grow deep roots and broad leaves, drink plenty of water, and feed yourself from the nutrients of your own decaying culls. Grow better fruit this way and you free up the space around your neighbor so they too may stretch their leaves further towards the light that is the source of our strength. <3

Independence cannot be won in only a day, but in one day we can turn the tides of a battle towards victory for those who are in the beginning of their war.

We do not leave our brothers and sisters on the frontlines alone. We do not throw bombs at our neighbors who are prisoners of war. We take up our armor and sword and we provide a shield against the onslaught of destruction so that our brethren may escape.

_

I love you all.

If you are battling alone, you don't have to...

Let the Calvary provide assistance.

Do not relent. Revolution shall be yours and Independence will come. Freedom allows you to then turn around with a better strategy for those still fighting.

We are not one, we are many, but there is only one way out and that is through.

May you see the other side...
