So here I am, years later, a shadow of my former self, with a whole stack of new thoughts and views. I have grown in so many different ways that some of the initial articles written here no longer apply to me. It's a bittersweet stage. There is a certain comfort in the familiar, but there is no growth...and growth is never easy or simple. But oh what new discoveries we make...making all this worthwhile.
Khalil Gibran, in one of his poems, said:
Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses
your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its
heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. So with that, begins a new season and planting of new seeds, while breaking of the old ones. Oh the exquisite pain of growth...
