Things I Had to Let Go of In Order to Grow

1. The apology I never got

   Closure doesn't always come from others—it comes from choosing to heal the hurt & forgive yourself even without the apology.

2. The fear of what others think

   Oh, the things I never did because I wondered what others would say. It held me back for so long & then I finally realized that most people are too caught up in their own lives to overanalyze yours. And the ones who judge you, their opinion probably shouldn't matter anyway.

3. The vision of what I thought my life should look like

   I spend years chasing a version of success that wasn't even mine. Letting go allowed me to build a life that actually makes me happy.

4. The idea that I had to do it alone

   Independence is great, but true growth happens when you allow yourself to be supported, to ask for help, and to lean on the right people.
