You do not owe anyone the version of you they built their comfort around. You are not responsible for maintaining the image they created in their heads. You are allowed to change — to outgrow, to heal, to choose differently this time. You are allowed to evolve into someone who no longer entertains what drains you. You are allowed to disappoint people who only liked you when you were convenient. You don't have to explain your growth to anyone who never cared to understand your pain. If they call it attitude or selfishness, let them - it only shows how little they knew you. You were never meant to stay small just to fit into someone else's comfort zone. So go ahead, evolve loudly and unapologetically — no permission, no explanation needed.
