Growing Pains

Growing pains

I got some sunflowers seeds, a vase, and some dirt a while ago.

All the things required to make a plant grow.

I put some dirt into the vase and planted two sunflower seeds, watered it and

left it to grow.

It started to grow overnight it seemed.

It was healthy, tall, and green

but after sometime it started to wither away.

I tried watering it and giving it more sunlight.

I wanted so badly to see it blossom.

Though it had all the proper means to grow it still died.

Sometimes things can only grow so much,.

Ironically my life was just like the plant.

I planted the right seeds into my life and I too started to grow, but now I’m stganant.

I realized that my plant died because the season changed.

Maybe some seasons are not meant for you to grow no matter how much you’d like to blossom.

Everyone has growing pains.
