The Realizations
Realization hits unexpectedly in a point of life
When there’s little of play time and, chill time is a waste
of time…
Time. It is of the essence of
something so beautiful, precious, and sacred
even, because once wasted there’s no going back.
Wasted time leaves no space for growth
Growing is money
Growing is knowledge
Growing is getting that foot in the door of your dream career
Growing is the smell of achieving your goals
Growing is credit, debt and responsibilities
Growing is sacrifices!
The realizations of growing up
It’s getting up and resuming with daily tasks and duties with
no acknowledgment of slight growing changes in your habits,
body language, attitude and perspectives towards situations
That delightful after-school snack of applesauce and cinnamon sugar graham crackers
turn into a quick grab of a cup of joe and a bland meal
or maybe leftovers you had to take time to teach yourself
because dining out wasn’t part of the monthly budget
The realization doesn’t hit until you look at yourself in the mirror
and notice the changes
Some good
Some bad even
Sometimes growth isn’t realized until it is either
felt or told
