RE: Healing, Growing, Becoming: The Power of Self-Reflection.

Before now, I probably would have tried to hold on to the friendship. I would’ve begged or tried to explain myself, just to stay in his good books. But something in me has changed. I’ve outgrown the need to stay where I’m not valued. I’d rather be in a room full of strangers and take the chance to make new, genuine connections than stay around someone who only sees me for what I can offer and not who I truly am.

Humans are social creators. But unfortunately, sometimes it can be taken for granted. Some people force themselves to change in order to appear relevant to other people. But the truth is, becoming a social creature doesn't mean becoming someone's puppy. That's why I am beyond grateful knowing how you step out of your own traps.
