You don't have to be who you were last year.

People sometimes hold you to an old version of yourself. The one who always said yes. The one who got angry fast. The one who couldn't leave.

And sometimes we do it to ourselves too.

But you're not a statue. You're allowed to change your mind, your habits, your boundaries, even your dreams. The shell you came out of doesn't get to decide how you fly now.

If someone says "you've changed," you're allowed to say: "Yes. On purpose."
