Thanks Libby. I can see more clearly for myself where some 'teacher' ones gave me eye openers which created growth within me, I now feel like I've outgrown them. Even more so, I feel a certain ick and sense of stickiness I don't want. But when I see people I realy like and see as my pers, share things of this person, then it feels like I've outgrown my friends too and that makes me feel loneley. ❤️ I know that my friends could as easily have outgrown things and people that I haven't. Still it makes me feel a bit disconnected from them. Like having different pollitical views is also not easy these days.

Ah yes, that twinge. I know the one. It certainly can feel lonely. The thing I try to remember in those moments is that pacing is unpredictable. We have the ability to slingshot our growth in an instant. I also bear in mind that maybe that one phrase or post jumped out without there being broader context. Look at how many of these charlatans sound fantastic if you only listen to soundbites! And then again some friendships drift and never find their way back to each other. It sucks, but in my experience, the ones that replace them are even richer. 💛
