Growing Pains : a poetry collection Sara Arneberg

Growing through rough times is painful, it's difficult, and most often it's not a linear journey. Healing is like growing pains; even though the route hurts at times, it's worth it in the end.

This poetry collection is split into three parts; Sprout, Grow, and Bloom. Like the life of a plant we heal trauma through these stages. In the beginning it's challenging, things look darker before we pierce through the dirt. Then follows a rough road of progress and setbacks, victories and failure. A long game of acceptance and endurance. In the end, when the growing pains finally are over, we can bloom and thrive like we were always meant to do.

Growing Pains is about healing from the darkness in life and beginning to see the light, growing through the pain, and to notice the small things that make everything worth it. Makes the growing pains worth it.
