no, really!

once upon a time, someone suggested that maybe i didn't understand the concept of growth.

so i stumbled upon some of my old philosophy and it seems that perhaps i have experienced growth, after all.

the whole thing is fascinating, but the important part is right at the bottom:

i know what i need and i know why i can't get it. 
i know what i have to do and i know why i won't do it. 
i know me. and wherever i go, there i am.

i grew out of my "can't"s and "won't"s. and here i still am. and i still know me.
