I think an important distinction needs to be made between growing vs changing. Growing is when you accept all parts of yourself and improve upon it. Changing is when you fundamentally try to become someone else. Kind of swung a little too far in that direction yesterday. Trying to drastically rewrite who I am because I've been sick of myself a bit. But that isn't right. There's always going to be "me". To deny that part and try to be someone else is only going to cause me pain. But the important thing I'm learning is being ok with myself. If I can do that fully, nothing else matters. It's not an excuse to slack off and to stop trying new things and growing. But it is a reminder that I'm not changing for other people. Whether that be for approval or out of some sense of shame.
