Daily Writing Practice: Growth

Prompt: Growth

1st Attempt:
As she looked back through the family album of pictures, she realized just how much she had grown over the years. Not just in height and age, but in wisdom. She had been naive and foolish to run off without knowing the whole story, without stopping to ask questions and investigate what was really going on, but then again, by running off half-cocked, she had grown. She had learned to never do that again, to take the time to look for answers, to never take anything at face value again. Did that mean she was more cyncial and jaded, maybe, but she also was more confident and sure of herself and the choices she had made since. The problem remained on how to deal with the problems she created in the first place by running away.
