A lot of people want to hold onto the old you. The one that fucked up the one that was usually wrong the one that needed to go. Even if you’ve changed into a brand new person all they’ll see is that person you once were. Don’t be afraid to let them go.

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness.”
— Henry David Thoreau, Walden
