Some changes hurt more than we expect.
Leaving a person behind.
Starting over.
Losing an opportunity.
Moving away from what feels familiar.
Choosing a completely different path.
In the moment, it can feel like you're losing something important.
But not every loss is a mistake.
Sometimes the things you have to leave behind are the exact things keeping you from moving forward.
Think about learning to ride a bike.
At some point, the training wheels have to come off.
It feels less safe.
You might fall.
You might wish things were easier.
But you can't learn to balance while holding onto what was only meant to help you start.
Growth often feels uncomfortable because you're becoming someone who no longer needs the old version of your life.
So if something is changing right now, don't automatically assume it's going wrong.
Some endings hurt because they're making room for your next beginning.
