You're Not Wrong for Changing
Sometimes growth means outgrowing the rules you didn’t even know you were following.
You’re not wrong for changing.
But that doesn’t mean it always feels good.
Sometimes growth makes old relationships feel… tight.And often, the tension isn’t just about them.
It’s about the rules you didn’t even realize you were still following.Rules like—
Don’t make people uncomfortable.
Don’t question what you once believed.
Don’t outgrow the group.
Don’t say what you’re really thinking.These aren’t just social habits.
They’re survival strategies.
Silent contracts written in the language of belonging.But you’re allowed to outgrow those contracts.
Even if it feels strange.
Even if you grieve a little.
Even if not everyone understands.Letting go of the rules isn’t rebellion.
It’s reclamation.
You’re not doing it wrong.
You’re becoming more you.
So what rule are you ready to release?
Say it out loud—or just say it to yourself.
That’s where it starts.
