Growth


Growth. The inevitable process of life, cradle to grave. Inch by inch we grow, inch by inch we die off. It's the moment of joy in revelation, it's the moment of peace in gaining comfort of, and it's the moment of boredom when it's over done. Growth is learning how to say 'Hello' in 5 different languages. Growth is learning what it is one gains from losing someone very dear.

We stop at nothing to grow, yet we do not allow others the luxury of so. Growing is when you know not to do something, but do it anyway and ending up exactly where you're expected to. Growing is looking fear right in the eye and owning it. Growth itself is what we fear. It takes you to places you've never been, and leaving you there to find your way back all alone. Growing takes the white sheet of paper you were, and tossing paint all over as you progress. Growth is from 'Lying is bad' to 'Lying makes me money'.

Growth is both an ascension and a degradation. You learn and you dispose. You gain new principles of life, and you forget the old. Growth holds you by the throat and chokes you dry of air. And just when you're about to lose everything, gives it all back. Growth makes everything you did in the past look stupid and silly, and you vow not to ever embarrass yourself again in the future. Growth makes you realize you'll never be able to not embarrass yourself.

Growth is the sun, its the moon and the stars. Its diapers and pills. Its paddle shifter transmissions and its Hybrid engines. It takes humanity to the brink of self annihilation, and it will take us back from it. Growth is prolonging life, and introducing things that will take those new years away from us.

Growth is renewal and decay. Growth is decaying faster and more than renewal. It is knowing we're all going to die one day, and waking up every morning to celebrate life. It is the personification of beauty, with age. It is turning the infinite universe of stars and nebula into sky. It is from loving everything you come to pass, to getting bored with the word 'LOVE'.

Growth is inevitable. It consumes us all, and leaves us to die. It will continue to live off every soul for generations to come, up to the day the world dies from the growth of mushroom-cloud atoms and people-killing cells. Growth will be the end of us all.

So have a cup of coffee, and toast to Growth.
