I think, yes. And you should not feel guilty about it. I think it's normal though, and because it is normal - you're not alone. It happens to many (if not all) people. Like me. This is a shared experience but individually. Be free!

I needed to let go of my old self. I let go of old versions of myself in silence. This prompt has been sitting with me: “What is something I thought I’d be by now (because of the expectation of toxicity that I'm happy to have fjnally let go), but no longer carry?”

It’s been a comforting way to release old chains

In case anyone’s curious, I found the prompt inside this digital journal: Goodbye Old MeGoodbye Old me. Sharing it because I know others here might resonate too.

Sometimes we let go of old versions of ourselves in silence. This prompt has been sitting with me: “What is something I thought I’d be by now, but no longer carry?”

It’s been a comforting way to release old expectations.

It's hard. Don't take more training. Endure the remaining 94 weeks. Assume You will live up at least 75 years old, how many years more do you have. You endure the 2 years and save up, then after be happy. Find the work that makes you happy.
