In order to grow or change, a part of you has to leave--I have always thought of this as dying partway, to be born somewhere else. Does that analogy make sense?
I am not sure if I understand the dying part, do you mind explaining some more?

I'm very grateful for the support! My only frustration with the age I am now is that adults and other teenagers think I am just dying to prove myself to them. Parents, teachers, college boards, potential partners, all want to get a standardized score on what I can do. But I'm really not interested in giving them one.
Scoreboards are heavily overrated, don't fuss to much about them. And no problem for the support, its my pleasure (and yes really it is).
