Grow As We Grow – Ben Platt

Grow As We Grow by Ben Platt hits that tender place in me —
the one that always thought I had to be “ready” to be loved.
The one that believed healing had to come before connection.

But this song offers a softer truth:
that maybe love doesn’t require perfection — only presence.
Not certainty — just willingness.

It’s not about having grown.
It’s about being willing to grow.
Together.

That’s powerful.
Because I’ve often felt like I’m still in process — like a work in progress
that no one should love until I’ve figured it all out.
But the ache in this song reminds me: connection isn’t the reward for healing.
It’s part of the path.

Ben’s voice carries this kind of vulnerable strength —
the kind that says, “I’m scared, but I’m still here.”
That’s the kind of love I want to give — and the kind I’m learning to receive.

Reflection Prompt:
What would it feel like to stop waiting until you’re fully healed — and start letting someone meet you where you are, as you grow?
