Friendships can change over time. Some people evolve, and some reveal their true colors later on. We tend to trust our friends so easily.

There is a quiet power in release. Not the dramatic kind. Not the kind that needs an announcement. The kind that happens internally, often unnoticed, until one day you realize you are lighter.

Because when you stop carrying what was never yours to hold, you start noticing what is yours — joy that lingers longer, peace that feels steady, and a body that finally feels like home. Release isn’t just about letting go of the heavy. It’s about making space for the beautiful, and trusting that what fills you next will be lighter, brighter, and exactly what you’ve been waiting for.

There’s power in realizing that not everyone is meant to walk beside you forever. Some friendships serve a beautiful purpose in one chapter, but when values no longer align, holding on can quietly pull you away from yourself.
