What Outgrowing Relationships Feels Like

Precisely how I felt when I started to evolve, but the people surrounding me didn’t. Changing isn’t easy, but worth it. I began feeling listless during over everyday interactions, because our conversations were lacking sustenance, depth. We weren’t teenagers anymore, I needed variety and it wasn’t happening. Yes, it’s unfortunate to outgrow things, especially people you love, but goodbye is a form of self-care. Endings bring new beginnings. Discomfort brings growth. Artist: Sarah_Akinterinwa

Stop Apologizing For Evolving

Anyone who makes you feel guilty for evolving in ways they don’t understand, but betters your life isn’t someone you need in your circle. It simply means you’ve outgrown them. Choose yourself. A lot of the people I grew up with are this way, stagnant and judgmental rather than understanding, or inspired. I owe them nothing and went my own way. Best decision I ever made, while I reshape and change the world, they sit back and watch. As Britney Spears said: there’s only two types of people in this world, the one’s that entertain and the ones that observe. I’m the former, they’re the latter.
