I’ve come to realize that I am no longer tied to my past and that many of my connections then did not allow me to truly thrive as myself. The understanding that I have complete control over my connections – whether it is people, habits, hobbies, whatever – is extremely empowering. This frees me of all previous restraints and limits that I put on myself or that others tried to impose on me. It is liberating, understanding that I only need to confirm to myself what or how I must be. This has always been something that I’ve known; only now I am able to see its true necessity.
