Recognized this as a good sign

I realized something very profound the other day, and couldn’t quite put my finger on it until now. Certain existing friendships no longer serve me. 

Throughout this change of mine, transformation, I’ve made some new friends and developed stronger friendships with existing acquaintances. However, there were a few that I just didn’t have the energy or desire to maintain anymore. 

My theory was proven after going out for dinner with one old friend last week, and finding myself wanting to get it over as soon as I could. After, I needed time alone just to recharge myself. 

I shouldn’t feel ashamed or bad about this at all. It’s all apart of growth.

It feels great, especially as an ex-people pleaser. First time in my life I actually listened to myself and recognized I don’t enjoy hanging out with this person anymore.
