Stories of Growth

Realisations while jogging:

1. The thing about self-awareness is not to only let you be aware of your strengths and weaknesses, but to yes, be aware, but to not let it define you. As everything can be changed if you put your heart to it. In a society where everyone is fighting for attention and wanting to be special, the biggest freedom you can give yourself is to know that you are more than those labels and descriptions others or even yourself, put on you. You are not your weakness.

2. Rarely help will come in the form of a nicely-wrapped package and landing neatly on the front of your doorsteps. They can come in the form of heavy rain and thunder, in the form of cotton candy so wispy you can hardly feel it, in the form of rocks with hidden gems or even doesn't come at all. You just have to search for it hard enough, or to ask for it when it's not given. For indeed, the only person who can help you is yourself.
