I'm not kidding.

Sometimes you have to burn to bloom.

There are certain trees that, in order to grow, have to catch on fire.

Are you familiar with this concept?

Like, there are certain trees and certain plants that disperse their seeds only if they're caught on fire.

And sometimes we as human beings are no different.

Sometimes we have to catch on fire to then be able to bloom.

I think the takeaway, at least for me in that, is there are times when against our better judgment, we'll do things that we know are harmful and yet we cannot do anything else.

Does that make sense?

We cannot do the right thing.

I knew I needed to rest.

I knew I needed to like spend my holiday break reading books and staring at the ceiling and going on walks.

I knew I needed to do that.

But for some reason, I could not do it.

do it.

It was, it felt impossible for me.

And I felt so bad about it, but I was like, you know what I did?

I don't have a choice for whatever reason.

This is what I have to do right now.

I have to watch YouTube shorts in every free moment.
