Normality is a Paved Road

🪬 Normality is a paved road, it’s comfortable to walk, but no flowers grow there. - Vincent Van Gogh 🪬

Comfort has its place, it grants us rest, rhythm, and care for our soft pieces...but it was never meant to be the aspiration for living. Growth doesn’t happen where everything is predictable and safe. Becoming doesn’t take shape where nothing asks more of you than staying complacent and cushioned.

The edges are where life offers its deepest lessons. To find your footing on the uneven ground. To face down the places where doubt lingers loudly. Choosing a path that isn’t neatly outlined means trusting that friction isn’t failure, and discomfort isn’t a sign you’re losing ground.

Creativity, healing, purpose, and truth all require movement beyond what’s familiar and known. They ask you to question inherited expectations, outgrown identities, and definitions of yourself that were handed down before you had the words to decide it on your own. It takes an unending courage and steady willingness that keeps you moving forward even when certainty hasn’t found you yet.

Flowers don’t ask permission to grow. They respond to light, pressure, and the conditions they’re grown in. So we are as well. When you choose to leave the paved road, you choose participation in your life, over autopilot. You choose curiosity over compliance. You choose a life that’s experienced, not just observed.

Something is unfolding within you, being cultivated with each aligned decision. While it may not be the easiest path, worn and rocky, it’s the one where meaning and truth have room to take root.
