"I don't think any of us can live without effecting each others paths"
- Frank Ocean (BBC sound interview 2012)
Do you sometimes feel like you no longer fit in with the people around you? Everything was fine a couple months ago but these days it seems like when they want to go left you want to go right and when you're up they're down and visa versa. Out growing people is nature, streams must flow, flowers must bloom and birds need to leave the nest and fly. People are placed in our lives so that we can learn from them or so that they can learn from us and this helps us all to grow. However sometimes your growth is different from the next person's and thats ok. Not all flowers blossom at the same time and when they do their petals are not identical. Don't be afraid to blossom first or in-between or even last and when you do blossom don't freak out when you find that your petals are not identical with the people around you. Although you don't want to upset your friends/loved ones you need to accept your growth and communicate this with them. If you find yourself no longer wanting to hang with the gang or attend family functions then don't force it, you're just growing up. You have your whole life to be an adult but only a few years to be a kid. This is your time, do what makes you happy! Do not comprise your satisfaction for anyone. Understand that you're friends and family may get upset as they are not use to the new you but love is strong and those who love you will eventually accept you.
