We Grow Older Hence the Changes

Why Does Everything Change When We Grow Older?

As I grow older, I see how everything changes. People I thought would be in my life forever have vanished, while those I never imagined being close to have become dear friends. It's surprising and sometimes bittersweet, but it's a part of life that I’m learning to accept.

I've realized that as we age, we start to save our energy for things that truly matter. We stop wasting time on meaningless connections and focus on relationships that uplift us. This doesn't mean we stop caring about others, but we become more careful about where we invest our emotions.

Outgrowing people is part of this journey. It’s not easy, and it doesn’t mean we love them any less. It means we recognize when a relationship no longer helps us grow. We have the right to outgrow people who aren't growing with us, and we don't need to apologize for it. It’s a sign of our own growth and self-respect.

Discovering new parts of myself has been one of the most rewarding parts of getting older. I’ve learned more about who I am and what I need to be happy and fulfilled. This self-discovery brings me closer to the person I want to be.

So, if you find yourself feeling the same way, remember that it’s okay to let go. Embrace the changes and cherish the new connections that come into your life. Every change, every new friendship, and every moment of self-discovery is a step towards becoming the best version of ourselves.

Life is a journey, and with each change, we grow stronger, wiser, and more loving. Don’t be afraid to embrace it.
