It’s hard to move under the pressure of the water. Especially when you are so far down that you don’t even know where you are. But they never stopped. They kept on pulling me up, no matter how heavy I was. No matter how grim it seemed. They were always there, with love and support and encouragement.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
