My personal catchphrase that I came up with in ~2018 has really hit close to home this year.
But what does it mean?
We all have the capability to bloom in the dark. But choosing to bloom in a personal choice. Others are waiting for the sun to get them to bloom, only to find disappoint soon after.
There is something to be said after you grieve what once was, to choose to spread out and GROW. You don’t let your circumstances push you down. You fight to break through the surface of dirt.
It’s not easy, it never was. But it is 1000% worth it. In the end, you choose and trust yourself to get you there. Sure you may have help or inspiration, but only you can rise up, because it’s up to only you.
Blooming in ones life is something beautiful regardless if it is in the sun or the dark, but there is something to be said about when it’s the dark. Most do not go that route. Most like taking shortcuts and doing the TDLR on blooming.
But cheating on blooming can cause the petals to fall earlier than you want. Autumn is inevitable, we can’t always be on the upwards our entire life. Life is, well complicated.
But we can choose to bloom for ourselves, all you have to do is choose to not settle. Don’t settle for being stuck in the dirt. Choose to dettach from where you currently are and identity with what is above and your potential (your new reality).
