Two Roses

someone very special to me reminded me of a quote I used to love very much today,

"Now see you wouldn't ask why the rose that grew from the concrete had damaged petals, on the contrary. We would all celebrate its tinasity, we would all love its will to reach the sun. Well, we are the roses, this is the concrete, and these are my damaged petals. Don't ask me why, thank God, ask me how."

Things aren't always easy. The places we find ourselves in today aren't always the best possible positions, nor do they give us the best possible opportunity to succeed. Still, this does not mean we cannot achieve great things.

This does not mean that we cannot grow.
