Growing Older, Feeling Younger
Many of the experiences that make us grow are uncomfortable
Many of them are surely life-changing
Some of them are relevations
My growth experience, sure, it was painful
But it made me accept the pain
Years I walked the salt flats
Years I tripped over the same rocks
I remembered the peace I felt long ago
Always I was told to stop searching and start building
Zero did I understand
Until I stopped searching
This insightful experience happens differently to everyone
Some take a lifetime
Once again, I felt awe I once had "when I remembered the peace I felt long ago"
I must embrace life and see pain as my friend
Because I am not pain myself, I am light.
