honest growth
“i am the same, i’m the same, i’m trying to change”
i’m trying to return to center. to decolonization. to open my third eye & allow my body to speak to me
for my mind to not override the things i know in my soul to be true
i am the same. i want my roots to be clear & heal from concrete wounds. i’m trying to change
i want to return to soft & slow. the original life line.
growth might be better seen as shrinking. finding a way to get out of our heads & into the bodies our spirits have been given🤞🏾✨
above all, it’s cool to learn & grow. & we’re cool.

Third Eye -Florence + The Machine
Hey, look up!
Don't make a shadow of yourself, always shutting out the light
Caught in your own creation
Look up, look up! It tore you open
And oh, how much?
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
•••
But your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change’

In today's fast-paced world, the journey to honest growth often requires introspection and a commitment to self-care. By focusing on mindfulness, individuals can connect with their deeper selves, allowing for the integration of emotions and experiences. This process encourages the exploration of one's roots, promoting healing from past traumas and emotional wounds. The idea of 'shrinking' can offer a new perspective on growth, emphasizing the importance of becoming more attuned to our physical bodies and spiritual needs. Resources such as meditation, grounding exercises, and reflective practices can aid in this process, helping individuals overcome anxieties and reconnect with their true selves. Additionally, the concept of the third eye, a symbol of intuition and inner vision, encourages embracing one's insights and emotions, which leads to a more authentic existence. Whether through music like 'Third Eye' by Florence + The Machine, literature, or personal narratives, the journey of honest growth is a collective experience shared among many. By fostering a community that supports vulnerability and emotional exploration, we can strengthen our growth mindset and encourage one another to keep moving forward despite life’s challenges.
