Everyone who lives and breathes on this earth has a purpose for being here. Some people find their purpose at a very young age and for others they spend most of their lives trying to figure out why they are here and what exactly it is that they are supposed to accomplish. In the following collection we focus on the idea of growth and purpose. In Growing Weeds, we are shown the ever-changing picture of growing weeds versus growing and developing people. Sometimes we look at weeds as ugly and they are ruining this other thing that we care more about, that is more pretty, what we don't realize is that a lot of people feel the same way. They are being replaced and cancelled and left behind before they have reached their full purpose or found their stride in life. In Finding My Way we follow the footsteps of someone who finds themselves being taken on a ride just trying to figure out where they fit in and what home looks like for them. Because often we don't realize that going through the motions of everyday for some is as good as it gets and for others it's just not good enough. Is a person wrong for wanting more? For saying that this daily life that is on repeat isn’t giving me what I need to want to thrive. This collection of poems is something that every adult has gone through, and every teenager struggles with, trying to fit in and finding out exactly where you belong.
