Growth is not gentle.
It takes the light already in you and adds more power to it — so you can shine brighter than you ever have.
But in the process, some things get burned. The parts of you that couldn't hold that much light. The old shape you used to fit into. And yes — it hurts.
The hurt isn't a sign that something went wrong. It's a sign that something is changing into something that can hold more.
