Money Doesn't Grow on Trees

Whose mouth said this to me — and is it still true?

"Money doesn't grow on trees" was rarely about money. It was about scarcity, about not asking, about being grateful for too little.

We were given the sentence as a shield, and we wore it as a definition.

The story grows old only when we let it be old.

  • — What does my own grown self believe now?
