Growth, or a time to move on.

"Growth is the only evidence of life." ~John Henry Newman, 1864.

One can only work so hard or sacrifice so much.  One can only go so long without positive reinforcement.  One must know, embrace, and promote their own self-worth.  One must understand their own talents and respect their own contributions, even when others may not.

Although it tears me up, and I hate it,  it may be time to move to greener pastures.
