This Change Was Meant for You You changed because pain taught you to choose better. You kept going and, somewhere between the tears and the truth, you remembered your worth. You are allowed to say "enough," to raise your standards, and to become the person your younger self needed. You can protect your peace, speak your needs, and walk away from what dims your light. Your growth isn't arrogance, it's evidence. You deserve better, and you're choosing it.
