Some connections are for a season.
They help us grow, reflect, and find our footing.
Then, sometimes, the paths quietly diverge.

I am learning that clarity around values can be both grounding and lonely.
It does not mean anger.
It does not mean judgment.
It simply means paying attention to what no longer fits.

I am choosing to keep moving toward what aligns with who I am becoming. I am choosing alignment over approval. I am choosing peace over proximity.
With gratitude for what was.
With honesty about what is.
