@inhercircleatl: From up here everything looks smaller. The city. The ocean. The people you used to shrink yourself for. 🤍 1) You started living authentically and it felt like loss at first. Because it was. The things that no longer fit you... left. And you let them. 2) The space they left didn't stay empty. You filled it with new parts of yourself. New interests. New standards. New energy. And new people started showing up who matched all of it. 3) You can recognize misalignment almost immediately now. Not with bitterness but clarity. You know what fits because you finally know what doesn't. 4) You look back at who you used to be and who used to be around you... and you feel nostalgic. But not like it's somewhere you'd ever go back to. That's how you know you've actually grown. 5) The friendships you have now feel easy in a way you didn't know friendship could feel. Not because there's no effort but because the effort is mutual. And that used to feel impossible to find. You can look back lovingly. Just not longingly. 🤍 If you're in the in-between right now, the losing season before the finding season then stay close. Something is coming for women exactly where you are. 👀 --- #InHerCircle #adultfriendships #sisterhood #friends
