Growing up

There are two different types of growing up. The first kind makes you a little stronger each second. It is a steady growth and while grueling at points, it doesn’t hurt. Tires you out maybe but it doesn’t hurt. Then, there is the second kind of growing up when you are hit with immeasurable pain. It weights you down and you feel weak as if one more feather on top of the world you carry on your back will make your whole body snap in two. Like a summer breeze will make you fall over and shatter. This growing up hurts but the worst part is that doesn’t make you stronger every second that passes. Just as sudden as the wave of pain hits you, the wave of strength hits you. This type of growing up won’t happen to everyone. You may feel jealous of people who never understand this pain. But this pain changes you. It changes you into the person you will be one day. The people who understand this pain, they will be the ones who change the world. But as to whether we are given this pain so we can change the world one day or we change the world one day to make you for this immeasurable pain, we will never know. Either way I will never shy away from growing up. Romans 5 <3
