Life is like the leaves on a tree
You start out small and motionless then gradually you will move with the wind.
As you grow older you start to try to hold on tighter to your branch so that the wind does not take you away, but yet you feel like you should just let go but before you are truly ready winter will come and make you leave the comforts of your home, your beautiful branch.
And in the human world this is true because while you are still in school you are surrounded by the love of family and friends but as soon as the time for you to go out on your own is here and you wonder if things will ever be the same because as you leave the branch you can not return and when you grow up you can never return to the age and size of a child.
