Maturation is so confronting because it asks us to walk directly toward what we have avoided for so long. It asks us to sit in discomfort, to stop running, to stop numbing, and to meet the truth of the heartbreak - the little girl or boy within us still colouring the way we see ourselves and the world.
But what if the very thing we are avoiding is the thing that can set us free? If there is one truth I have learned on my journey, it is that I only ever truly grow when I choose discomfort, when I hold my heart and move through the layers of protection I built when the world told me it wasn’t safe to live fully. And yet, to live with an open heart is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever experienced - to sit with discomfort and then feel the sweetness of aliveness when light breaks through the pain is what makes us human.
Don’t waste your precious life running from your own aliveness. The time is now. But you have to choose it - nobody can move through the discomfort for you. And when you are ready, the teacher always arrives. 🌹
