Hello Sophia, a pleasure to meet you. There’s a rare steadiness in the way you write about growth, without the theatrics, without the blame, just the quiet truth of how relationships bend when we change, evolve. I recognise so much of this: the clearing, the recalibrating, the ache of realising who stayed for the version of us that asked for nothing.

What you land on here feels essential: aligned relationships are not dramatic, they’re spacious. They don’t demand performances, they don’t shrink us, and they certainly don’t collapse the moment life gets heavy. They meet us where we’ve fought to arrive.

This is beautifully said, Sofia, measured, generous, and entirely true.🤍
