they say growing up is a trap,
but what about never growing at all?
I think it may be worse to miss out on all the heartache and pain that comes with being alive because in all that suffering, is where you find yourself
growth hurts,
every limb and vein in your body as if you're being pulled apart,
but from darkness always comes something far more beautiful and then after all of it,
you're still here
rather than stay sheltered and safe and comfortable,
I think I'd rather feel it all
all the risks I've ever taken
or hardships life has thrown at me,
or moments so wonderful they imprinted my soul,
have been more painful and beautiful and just so very worth it
I wouldn't change a thing
