We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.

This quote is saying that people grow and change at different rates and in different ways. We are complex individuals, made up of many different elements, and our growth and development is affected by both our past experience and our future dreams. We do not always grow evenly in all areas of our lives, but rather may develop one area more than another. Our growth can also be influenced by things like our environment, our relationships, and even fate. We are constantly moving and changing between our past, present, and future, shaping us into the people we are today.
