Reading this piece alone has exposed so many truths about who I am and revealed the need to let go of so many things to live a well-rounded life.

I’m most especially grateful for the validation that came with your statement
“The hardest part is letting go of this need without becoming cynical or isolated”
because that’s the very thing that always pulls me back from moving on after making a healthy decision.

Feeling like I need to be understood especially by loved ones to make sense of my life quests, whereas it’s inconsequential.

Thank you so much for such a thought-provoking piece.
