When losing a friendship doesnt mean you have gained an enemy.
Maybe its you merely drift apart, walking away with that knowledge and acceptance.
When you realize you dont have to be your best self to be happy.
When you realize you arent in competition with the person next to you.
When you dont put other people down to build yourself up.
Its seeing something good in someone else and acknowledging it.
When you realize not every situation warrants a response.
When a relationship or opportunity ends, you value what was without holding too tightly to what isnt anymore.
But in endings, there is always opportunity.
When your relationship compliments you and doesnt complete you.
Its realizing, I love my partner.
They make my life better, but they arent my whole life or all of who I am.
When looking back at your past choices, youre filled with empathy instead of anger.
You realize you were young and dumb once, and you did the best with what you had.
Its realizing if I could go back and change XYZ, I would, and thats a great thing.
When you realize your job is just a job.
When you no longer feel the need to engage in gossip.
People will gossip no matter what age they are, but it stops at you.
When you replace honest conversations with yourself instead of excuses.
Its easy to avoid that conversation and get busy and distracted.
When you give yourself the time and space to process things.
You cant always be happy.
You cant always feel great every moment of the day.
And no one would expect you to.
But the key is taking the time it’s crucial that you process things.
Pulling away to understand yourself and be better and come back improved is essential in your career and relationships.
When you realize youre the hero and not a victim.
Sad stories eventually get old, and even we get tired of playing it on repeat in our heads.
When you are willing to admit that you need help.
Even heroes need help sometimes.
When you finally feel at peace.
You realize you are exactly who you gotta be right now.
You are exactly where you oughta be.
But the prospect of who youll become and the places youre going also gets you excited.
