Growth

Growth does not come
Without tears and pain
It is not purely success
But goes around like a shapeshifter

It is found
In one less bad day
In finally letting the feelings in
In not feeling sad for a whole day by yourself

In not letting one setback define you
In trying again tomorrow
In accepting that it takes time

Please just take a step back
Look back on how far you’ve come
And realize you still are
Growing
