5.20.25 // If Growth were Linear

I wish growth were linear.
.
I wish the path ahead were as clear as sparkling blue waters dancing in the sunshine.
.
I wish it felt easy, that the dirt beneath my feet was always slightly declining, allowing for joyful running and gleeful strides.
.
I wish that consistent movement forward and back to myself didn’t feel so heavy, but in order to forge and shed, there is a lift, energy, and effort demanded for the price of peace.
