"She realised that the woman she was becoming needed a different environment to grow in." Plants don't grow in the wrong soil. No matter how resilient. No matter how determined. No matter how much they want to. The wrong environment limits what is possible. Not because the plant is lacking. Because the soil is not designed for this particular growth. She examined the soil. The relationships. The spaces. The daily environment of her life. And changed what was not designed for the version she was becoming. Found better soil. And grew in ways the old environment could never have accommodated.
