Growth needs time. Don’t rush it. It needs nutrition. Feed it new knowledge, new experiences. It needs a helpful environment. Find it peaceful places, and nice people.

Time does not heal. Growth does. But growth isn’t renewal, it’s replacement. Of the dead, the damaged, and the unserving. Of mass, or the massless. Growth doesn’t recreate, it reinvents. And it requires you to accept as much. That for healing to occur, there cannot be space for both—the old and the new.
