The Strange Grief of Outgrowing Someone
<p>Sometimes, you don't lose someone because they left.</p><p>You lose them because you changed.</p><p>The things you once enjoyed together no longer excite you. The conversations feel different. You start wanting different things, seeing life differently, becoming someone they don't quite recognize anymore.</p><p>And it can feel strange because there is no argument to blame, no betrayal to point at.</p><p>You simply realize that the person you are becoming cannot keep living the way your old self did.</p><p>It hurts to outgrow someone you still care about.</p><p>But growth sometimes comes with distance.</p><p>Not everyone you outgrow was bad for you. Some people were simply part of the version of you that you're no longer becoming. </p>
