There’s a version of you that you miss.

Not because life was perfect—but because you were different.

More certain. More at ease. Less weighed down.

And that feeling you carry when you think about that version of yourself…

It’s not regret.

It’s grief.

You don’t hear this talked about much, but growth comes with loss. You don’t become someone new without leaving something behind.

And sometimes, what you leave behind is a version of yourself you actually loved.

So maybe the question isn’t:
“Why did I change?”

Maybe it’s:
“How do I honor who I was while becoming who I’m meant to be?”

Comment ATTRACTION if you want what’s been helping me process this.

I’ve been thinking about this lately…

Every time you get a raise or take on more responsibility, it looks like progress on paper.

But no one really talks about what you’re giving up in return.

More of your evenings.
More mental space taken up by work.
Less ability to actually relax without thinking about what’s next.

It made me realize — we track income, but we don’t track the cost of earning it.

I tried something recently:

Instead of just calculating hourly pay, I included the time I spend thinking about work, stressing about it, and recovering from it.

It completely changed how I see “more money.”

Now I’m asking a different question:
Is the version of me earning this… someone I actually want to become?

Curious if anyone else has thought about this.
