"You a flower and you need to make sure that man watering you."
-Dude at the gym when when I lied about having a man
When we think of GROWING, we usually don't see it in a negative way. When you think of GROWING, you think of words like: New, Exciting, Fun. But growth means change. And as we discussed a few blogs ago, change means discomfort and sometimes, that's exactly what growth is.
I remember one summer when I was a little girl and I was out in my front yard playing jump rope. I was having so much fun! I jumped and jumped and jumped until I landed from one of those jumps with an excruciating pain in my knee. My parents took me to the doctor where I found out I had some type of growth spurt in my bones while jumping.
That sound familiar to ya'll? You ever be minding your business, having fun and BOOM, growth spurt! Maybe you were having fun on that job you've been with for years and BAM, something happened, now you have to find another one. Maybe you were having fun in that relationship you were just starting to get comfortable in and BOOM they start acting up. Maybe you were having fun in that friendship you were in and BAM, they true colors start to show.
It's not always something that you did wrong, it was just time to grow.

Fam, the moral of this story is, new things grow in every season. Just like the leaves in the fall and the flowers in the spring. But first, we have to endure brutal winters and rain. Life is really no different than nature. Everything has it's own season. In each season, we experience something new. Sometimes it's an easy, exciting transition and sometimes it's tough and discouraging. Please know that I do not have it all figured out. I've been questioning my entire existence since the start of 2019. I can only hope that we all go into this new season having learned from our past ones.
That being said, I'm taking this next week to get my life in order! I'll see ya'll sometime in April.
Happy Spring!
-BRIT
