“Sometimes it feels terrifying to evolve into a new person because it involves shedding old skin, old identities, old thought patterns, old world views, old assumptions that no longer serve you. It can almost feel like a betrayal of your old self, like you are leaving them behind while you drive off into a new city with new vistas as your brand new self. But in self-loving growth, no part of you gets left behind. It’s simply allowing and trusting the newly emerging aspects of yourself - your strength, your desires, your confidence, your self-trust - to take the steering wheel and decide the destination while others take the backseat and simply enjoy the ride.” Yumi Sakugawa . . .
