Sometimes we stay committed to things long after they stop making sense for us.
A goal.
A relationship.
A career path.
A version of ourselves we thought we were supposed to become.
Changing your mind can feel uncomfortable because it often brings up questions about consistency, disappointment, or what other people might think.
But changing your mind is not automatically a sign that you made the wrong decision before.
Sometimes it simply means you have more information now.
You know yourself differently.
Your circumstances have changed.
Something that once fit no longer does.
Growth does not always look like pushing harder toward the same destination. Sometimes it looks like recognizing that you are allowed to choose again.
That does not mean every uncomfortable situation should be abandoned or every difficult decision should be reversed.
It means you are allowed to examine the choices you have made without treating them like permanent contracts with your past self.
You can appreciate who you were when you made a decision and still decide that something different makes more sense now.
There can be grief in that.
There can also be relief.
Both can be true at the same time.
