People Grow: Box A or Box B?

Posted by

A few days ago I was driving down the street and I saw this graffiti in the picture above.

I wondered about the person wrote it and what exactly they were saying?

A. “People Grow.” In that: “We as people grow.”

or

B. “People Grow.” In that we as people: “Need to grow.”

???…

Later that night, I was out with friends and over cocktails I told them about seeing this earlier in day, as we all talked about life and how we handle life change and adversity.

One of my friends mom had just recently passed away, needless to say it has been extremely hard on her. I mentioned to her that in life we get to make the choice to “grow or to put our heads into the sand…”

Mentioning that we have choices… as to which box we are going to check:
Box A - “We grow as people.” Or Box B - “We are told to grow and or don’t grow.”

…Referring back to the graffiti that I had seen earlier in the day.

She picks Box A. So do I!

P.S. As I was taking this picture a man was yelling at me for where I had parked my car… Maybe he picks Box B?

About Jennifer Kelton

I did not wake up one morning and say “hey I think I’d like a man use my sweater like a towel, write a candid dating book, become a dating expert, the CEO and founder of a social dating site and have three blogs.”

All of this has happened in a slow burn and here I am. The good, the bad, the mistakes, way too many tears shed to count, lots of wine and oh my goodness a huge learning curve that leaves me much of the time saying, “I’m sorry but this is all new to me.”
