i think maybe evolving requires both a goal of how you want yourself to be (or act), and a healthy recognition and patience with the fact that it will require steps and isn't an overnight process. maybe.

maybe maybe perhaps!
i am myself probably unrecognizable from twenty-plus years ago. i had some low points and when scraping bottom i looked at myself in the mirror (literally!) and said fuck it. i had to extricate myself from my rut, and go to places i wasn't comfortable with. geographically and figuratively. which is how i went from rural IL to NYC (without having ever visited the latter.) i had to leave a lot of things behind, i had to get unsentimental and i guess (it sounds paradoxical) stop caring about what other people thought or felt, but also balancing it out with more empathy and patience. it was a long, long process, i tell ya.
a lot of problems stemmed from really not knowing how to interact with people, is the thing.
