Grow or Perish

In 2021 the seed had to die to live.

Growth is a part of life. I’ve grown so much this year by not holding on to dead things. Or having people in my life that don’t water my garden. I’ve been fortunate to find like minds that are much good fruit. You know when someones time is up. The relationship will become barren. I long to be planted in fertile ground and the more I stepped into the unknown and explored something new the more I grew.

Change may be scary but lack of growth is even more frightening. You don’t have to cut toxic people this year just move out of their way to give yourself space to grow. The prideful know-it-alls are really stagnant so just let them be.

This was just a quick end-of-year thought, trust me I have plenty more lengthy ones coming. Thank you for reading and joining me on my introspective journey.
