Some Periods Of Our Growth Are So Confusing That We Dont Even Recognize That Growth Is Happening. We

“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were in fact in the process of change, of actually becoming larger, spiritually, than we were before. Whenever we grow, we tend to feel it, as a young seed must feel the weight and inertia of the earth as it seeks to break out of its shell on its way to becoming a plant. Often the feeling is anything but pleasant. But what is most unpleasant is the not knowing what is happening. Those long periods when something inside ourselves seems to be waiting, holding its breath, unsure about what the next step should be, eventually become the periods we wait for, for it is in those periods that we realize that we are being prepared for the next phase of our life and that, in all probability, a new level of the personality is about to be revealed.”

ME A DAY BEFORE MY EXAM (to my books)

Come on, come on, don't leave me like this. I thought I had you figured out Something's gone terribly wrong

You know how to keep me waiting, I know how to act like I'm fine / Don't know what to call this situation but I know I can't call you mine

Goodbye 🙂

eat a fruit that you like. take a little walk and pay attention to the trees. dance to music alone in ur room. it’s the small things that will heal you

idk about anyone else but if a girl was singing about me and she was saying I was “the kind of book you can't put down” and “like if cleopatra grew up in a small town” I would be kissing that girl on the mouth but 🤷‍♀️ that's just me
