The hardest part of growing The scariest part of growing is realizing you're drifting away from people you once couldn't imagine life without. People you shared so much with, but now the conversations feel heavy, the connection thinner. You start to see how time changes everything. What once felt like home now feels distant. You notice the silence between you, the things that no longer fit, and it hurts. It's a quiet kind of grief, losing people who are still alive but no longer aligned with where your soul is heading.Then, without meaning to, you begin to pick up new habits and new ways of living. You start seeing the world differently. The things that once filled you no longer do, and you start searching for peace instead of comfort. Growth is never clean; it comes with loss. But somewhere in that loss, something new begins to bloom. Something softer. Something truer.
