“Did I even say that?”
“Oh my God, don’t tell me I said that.”
“That’s weird.”
“No, that’s not how I think anymore.”
“I don’t like this now.”
“Ouch. I can’t stand it anymore.”
Never feel sorry for using any of these sentences in your life.
Go back and read them again.
As you grow, you will face awkward moments—especially when someone reminds you of something you said a decade ago, and you no longer resonate with it.
And that’s not hypocrisy.
That’s evolution.
Your likes change.
Your beliefs change.
Your circle changes.
Your taste, your dressing sense, your priorities—everything shifts.
There was a time you believed love was forever, uncomplicated, and straight out of a fairytale.
Now, with lived experience, you may see it differently.
There was a time you indulged without thought.
I was a hardcore parotta person once.
Today, I may still enjoy it—but health comes first.
What you think, what you believe, and what you like must change as you grow.
If it doesn’t, you’re not growing internally—you’re just repeating.
So if:
• People tell you, “You’ve changed”
• Someone brings up your old words to corner you
• Friends slowly drop off because you no longer gel the same way
• You feel awkward, lonely, or confused at times
Pause.
Pat yourself on the shoulder.
This, my dear, is real growth.
Growth is awkward.
It is lonely.
It is confusing.
If it isn’t—you’re stuck.
You will keep surprising yourself as you grow.
The question is—will you wait for life to surprise you,
or will you intentionally create the life you dream of?
If you’re ready to stop waiting and start creating,
you already know where to find me.
✨ Growth isn’t comfortable. It’s conscious.
