You Weren’t Meant to Go Back

February 24, 2025

(Note to self):-

For so long, healing felt like a journey back—to who we used to be before the heartbreak, before the disappointments, before the pain shaped us. We longed to return to a version of ourselves untouched by life’s hardest lessons. But what if healing was never about going back?

What if the path was always forward?

The moments that broke us were also the moments that remade us. We weren’t meant to fit into an old version of ourselves that no longer exists. Growth demands we outgrow. Strength requires we rise.

So, if you ever find yourself wishing you could return to the “before,” pause. You’ve already lived that chapter. The person you were then wasn’t built for the wisdom you carry now.

Instead of looking back, step into the person you’re becoming. The one your past self wouldn’t even recognize. That’s where your power is. Keep walking forward.
