There was a time in my life where chaos felt normal.
Where intensity passed as connection.
Where drama was mistaken for depth.
I don’t speak about this often, but recently I had a quiet moment of reflection, one of those moments where the universe gently says, “Look how far you’ve come.”
I saw someone from my past. Someone I once spent a lot of time with.
And instead of feeling pulled back into comparison, inadequacy, or emotion… I felt peace.
I realised the distance wasn’t loss.
It was protection.
It was alignment.
It was growth.
Some souls come into our lives not to stay, but to show us what doesn’t belong to us anymore. Different values. Different coping mechanisms. Different relationships with money, image, validation, and self-worth.
And there was a time where I didn’t yet know how to choose myself over the noise.
Today, my life feels softer.
Quieter.
More honest.
I no longer measure my worth against appearances or performances.
I don’t need to prove anything.
I don’t need to keep up.
I don’t need chaos to feel alive.
I see now that some people remain stuck trying to outrun themselves, reshaping the outside in the hope it will soothe something unresolved within. And I don’t say that with judgement… only with understanding.
Because I’ve done my own inner work.
And I know real peace doesn’t come from reinvention, it comes from integration.
I’m grateful for who I was.
Grateful for what I learned.
And deeply grateful for who and what is no longer attached to me.
Not every ending needs closure through conversation.
Some end through awareness.
And that, to me, is evolution.
