You Were Never Meant to Bloom in the Sidewalk Crack

For so long we have been given this image of a flower bursting through a crack in the sidewalk. We have been told to bloom where we are planted. We have been told to make it work, no matter what.

And yet there comes a point when, just because you can burst through the tiny crack in the sidewalk, doesn't mean you'll thrive there. It doesn't mean it's the best place for you long term.

And aren't you tired of getting stepped on, all day, every day?
