"See, growth isn’t this comfortable, miraculous thing. It can get ugly, it can get confusing. It’s gritty, it’s hard. It’s difficult to confront yourself sometimes; it’s difficult to be the person who does things differently, who doesn’t settle. But it’s the greatest gift you will ever give yourself. It will push you towards figuring out what your own personal version of happiness looks like, a happiness that shows your real emotions, happiness in which everyone will be affected and saved from it; and when you grow on your own terms, when you figure out what actually matters to you, and when you carve out your own path, you live on your own terms. You love on your own terms. You become the person you have always wanted to be, rather than the person you were always told to be, and that is beautiful. Because when it comes down to it—life is about making yourself proud on your own terms. It’s about finding a happiness that works for you, fits for you, and stays with you. Because happiness is always a personal choice, no options needed, no emotions to overflow mended, no mental stability bended. Life is full of happiness, we just need to decide to pursue it, and hold it ourselves. Growth comes from you, but it needs guidelines from people, it won't start first time, yet you will get in there, you just need to wait and move forward. Because growth for ourselves may be selfish to some, because you're choosing yourself first, and it may be inspirational to others because you're learning to live your own life just for you, that's why growth must be our own chosen priority. Change is inevitable, but still pleasant. Pleasant changes leads to a better you, better surrounding, and better mindset, it always lead to happiness either way. But always remember, happiness is a gift to yourself, and not based from others. Grow to be happy, because happiness reflects the broadest possibility of the world."
