Often we are told we have to choose roots or blooms. This quote is a nice reflection of ways in which we can re-examine how we think about our past. Thriving in the present doesn't require us to deny our past. It requires us to change our relationship to it. Your past doesn't define you. You can acknowledge it as a place from which you emerged; not the same thing as you. As we enter a new year, we can set intentions based on how we want to bloom, while noting what we've taken from the past and our experiences that led us here.
