it’s okay if you outgrew the friend group.

it’s okay if you can’t force yourself to show up to that job anymore.

it’s okay if you stopped performing the version of yourself that kept everyone else comfortable.

it’s okay if you started calling people out instead of letting things slide.

it’s okay if you no longer let people manipulate you into feeling like you’re “too much.”

it’s okay if you don’t recognize the person you used to be.

it’s okay if not everyone understands the shift that’s happening in you.

this isn’t you becoming difficult.

this is you finally refusing to abandon yourself to survive a room.
