Growth

My dear.
You used to get excited about sunrises and fresh salads.
You loved each season for what it was.

–

But then
you saw a hundred sunrises.
and
you ate salad every weekend.
you turned incredible into mundane and
then
wonders became dull.

–

You stopped believing in life
and instead you bought
the mantle of sameness.

–

You stopped noticing the murals on the wall because you’ve seen them a thousand times.
You got so used to the place you were in, you thought:
who I am now is all I’ll ever be.

–

But how can you,
believe in life as death?
Death is the thing that is stagnant and still.
Death is sameness. But not you –

–

You are
living
breathing
alive.

–

You are never stagnant.
Even if it feels like you haven’t moved, haven’t changed, haven’t done.
You are moving
changing, doing.
Movement is built into you.
Sameness is not your inheritance.

–

My dear, please
Life is not a hamster wheel

–

Growth is not always visible
but
it is
there.

 

always forward.
