“You’ve changed. You’re different.”

Well... Isn’t that kind of the point?

To change, I mean. To become better versions of ourselves over time.

Why do people only view growth as a bad thing if, by their definition, it’s “different”?

Life isn’t meant to be lived inside a box. Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep doing hard things. Apologize for the past and continue moving forward. Keep becoming more.

More knowledgeable. More heartfelt. More intentional. More well rounded. More caring. More understanding. More of whatever you want to be.

Change can be good. Uncomfortable, sure. But different isn’t *always* bad.

Don’t be afraid to become more of who you know you’ve always been - and who you already are.
