They say....
"Life gets hard", "In order for you to grow, you need to heal", "A bicycle's tire doesn't just stay up, it rotates"

Yesterday, today, and tommorow I questioned myself, "Why am I experiencing this?" When I was a child, all I ever wished for was to grow happy.....

Is this what I've wished for?

Am I happy?

Or just pretending to be?

Yes, I'm growing.... my age does, and so is my height (I think). But did I heal? Did my scars heal from the past? My body grows, but my heart and soul doesn't.

....

Yes, a tire doesn't stay up, it rotates.... and so does my life. But a bicycle tire stops, it pauses. When you stop paddling, it also stops.... and so does life.

I've just realized, while writing this.....

The world never stopped, it goes around and around. I was the one who stopped.... I stopped on my tracks, questioning "Why was I paddling again?", "What urge me to continue?"

I was the one who stopped myself from healing. I didn't accept the truth. I stopped myself and hid under the shadow.

May I, myself, continue to look forward.

May you, yourself, continue to appreciate life...
