Dropped in dirt.

Have you ever felt like you've been dropped in dirt and covered in darkness?

Even when we know that change and growth is good and healthy for us, it doesn't take away the feelings of being lost and lonely. Of being scared and overwhelmed. Of wanting to scramble out of the hole we've been dropped into and back to the safety net from which we came.

Growth is meant to stretch our comfort zone. If we don't feel comfortable, it means that we're not growing. Struggling to reach the light means that we're changing and transforming into the person that we're striving to become. Just like growing pains that we felt in our bodies during adolescents, we're going to feel growing pains through change.

But it's worth it.

All you have to do is reach for the light.
