Growing hurts sometimes;

saying goodbye to friends,

to things you've known and done

to things you wanted to do.

?

Growing heals sometimes

the shattered dreams and hopes

of a life you once knew

leading you to a new knowledge of yourself.

?

Growing is fun sometimes

meeting new friends

learning new things

making changes that feel good and moving on.

?

Growing is necessary always.

Without change there is stagnation

death instead of life.

To choose to live is to choose to grow.
