Hey everyone! 👋

Today’s expression is “things are starting to snowball.” 😄

👉 It means something is growing or increasing in speed, size, or importance — often faster and faster.

It can be positive or negative, depending on the situation.

Origin:

The phrase comes from the image of a small snowball rolling downhill. ☃️ As it rolls, it picks up more snow and gets bigger and faster — just like how events or problems can build up quickly.

Examples:

My business started small, but now things are starting to snowball! 💼📈
It began as one mistake, and soon the whole situation snowballed out of control. 😬
Once she started practicing daily, her progress really snowballed! 🎸✨

Now it’s your turn! 💬
