This was a revolutionary read! I’ve gone through this for as long as I can remember. Not only is there a theoretical name for it but I’m not alone! Incredible writing 🤍
This was absolutely delightful to read. You put words to something I’ve been actively walking with for years. I’m new here and really glad I found you.
I’d say it’s especially relevant in romantic relationships since you typically spend a lot of time with your partner—who you’re around is who you become, or so they say :)
Do you also extend this approach with members of your family? Just curious. It seems to be happening with more frequency than before. From what I've read, about 25% of millennials and zillenials are estranged from at least one member of their family. What's up with that?
I have no problem removing toxic people from my life. I know some people don't like to hear this, especially when it involves family members, but I've worked hard to achieve some level of inner peace and I choose not to allow people who refuse to do that same work, to wreck mine.
I really respect this piece as a guide on when to recognize your relationships are not serving you anymore and that at that point, it’s time to move on. I’m personally going through this now, but I think what’s equally challenging as recognizing and removing yourself from a relationship is dealing with the emotion, the regret, the ongoing resistance, the consequences, and awkwardness that follows. I admire your valor in just turning away and sticking to your choice, but it’s hard! I would like to hear some of the thoughts behind the brave wall you put up and how hard it can be and how to persist with self assurance.
This resonated deeply. Would absolutely love to read more about your thoughts and insights on outgrowing current realities, as well as the phase between the shift of those changes
going through this currently. nobody taught us this growing up :( learning to let go is hard.
it's all part of the process—i wish you the best on your current journey :)

"...life is not just something that happens to you while you're busy maintaining the status quo."
This is forever a part of my favorite quotes list.
