The gold rose represents something rare, beautiful, and valuable.

That’s really what it means to me. Everybody goes through something. Everybody has moments where life gets hard and you have to decide whether you’re going to stop or keep going.

A rose can grow through cracks in concrete, and I look at people the same way. Sometimes we come from situations that weren’t made for us to grow in, but somehow we still do.

That’s the gold rose.

It’s knowing that just because you’re going through a hard time doesn’t mean you’ve lost your value. You’re still worth something. You’re still growing. You just haven’t broken through yet. 

We’re all gold roses.
