<p>Maybe we don't fear change. Maybe we fear becoming strangers to ourselves.</p><p>We often cling to old habits, friendships, and places not because they are necessarily good for us, but because they are familiar versions of ourselves.</p><p>There is comfort in what we already know. Even when something no longer serves us, leaving it behind can make us feel like we are abandoning a part of us.</p><p>Perhaps, that is why change can be so frightening. It does not merely ask us to leave something behind. it demands us to meet a version of ourselves we have never known before.</p><p>And sometimes, the hardest part of growing is accepting that becoming someone new may require letting go of someone familiar.</p>
