I have come to understand that my suffering has been my gift, a great and powerful lesson to overcome in this lifetime. I have gained immense awareness and knowledge to how the weeds grew from a place of discomfort. I understand how the roots have grown underneath. Yes, I did allow my garden to me infested with poison for far too long, but I did not allow them to completely tie me down. I ran away and blinded myself in order to not see the damage of my beautiful garden. But I realized, if I want it to bloom again, I have to take action and clean up the weeds. So, after years of gaining strength and building bravery in my kingdom heart, I finally took the blindfold off and faced the weeds themselves. I slowly untied the poison knots, one by one, knowing some may grow back, but now that I am awake to see my garden, the full entire picture, I am ready to plant new seeds and take care of my treasures lovingly.
