#growing quote

[lunam-et-atticae]

We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

Anais Nin

I know I’ve said it here before, but here is another reminder. 

Growth takes time, and growth may not be linear. Be patient with yourself, keep working. Even when you start to see growth, remember that sometimes you’ll still have to trim things down to heal, or grow better.

And that’s okay.

Even if you have to trim a lot, it’s okay. The point is you’re growing, and you will continue to grow. 

Keep this in mind if you need a helpful visual to not get too depressed. Give yourself the time to grow and flourish, like you would a seed newly planted.
