Some lives are like old shirts
you wear them for a while,
until they feel too tight
around the shoulders.
At first, you don’t notice.
You try to make it work,
because it’s what you’ve always worn,
and people expect to see you in it.
But one day, you exhale
and realize you’ve outgrown it.
And it’s not your fault
you just grew.
It’s okay to fold it away.
It’s okay to want comfort,
to want space to move freely.
You are not made to stay small
for the sake of what used to fit.
You are allowed to grow
into something that feels more like you.

A great analogy and well used. We all grow and change and whether cloths or personalities we need to make adjustments as do those around us. Nicely said.
A lovely write, we need to grow and progress and it's ok to do that, enjoyed the read
