A plant that is yet to sprout is not anxious about being a mere seed. Like that, when it finally sprouts, the fact that it is yet to bloom doesn't bother the plant. At any moment in it's life the plant is in its perfect possible form.

You are no different. Don't be sad because you are not who you are yet to become. Don't be sad because of what you once were. At any moment you are the only version of yourself that could ever be, otherwise there would've been no you.

They take it away - the freedom to be just you. Little do they know that not everything is for the taking.
