your new life is gonna cost you your old one.

i read the mountain is you by Brianna Wiest last year and the words "your new life is going to cost you your old one" will forever stick with me. we are naturally forever evolving beings but attach previous versions of ourselves, relationships, habits that no longer serve us and it makes it difficult for us to grow. change is inevitable and always happening whether we see it or not. I am embracing the change and allowing the unknown to take its course.

"Instead of being liked, you're gonna be loved."

EXACTLY. preach sis!

Ended a 5yr relationship because of this. Growth is painful, it’s messy and uncomfortable but what’s on the other side is worth it. ❤

“When you live a life with mindless behavior without intention or purpose you’re going to create a familiar future.”

[TrulyKierra]

This is exactly how I have been feeling. Miserable and comfortable.

[ambbbbrrrr]

😮‍💨 I needed this. For years I would say the “next year is my year” and then continue to be stuck in the same ole same ole . I have constantly stood in my own way and it’s time to let that old me go. Thank you for this message. Will definitely be on repeat.

If you dont change, life will make you lose everything and everyone to force you to change. I have no idea what's next, but instead of fighting, I surrender.

i love this new generation of vloggers are making people emotionally and mentally smart

[Beautiful_B]

God spoke to me through you. Thank you 🙏🏽

[Wayytooreal]

I literally started tearing once the video started. WOW! I'm currently going through what I like to call my "detachment era". I had to unlearn a lot of things. It is very liberating and freeing to come out on the other side and notice all of the positive changes. Thank you for your content. Peace & love!

i wanted to type a whole paragraph about me, but imma just say.. I needed to hear this. because I’m definitely not my older me anymore but i’m just lost rn.

Reality is harsh for wanting to be free but freedom requires everything

“Change is inevitable”

That's where most of my suffering comes from. Trying to resist this change and letting go of the old.

Thank you for this word❤️

The parts between 5:00-5:07 is so real because I have been so scared to change myself because of how my parents and friends will think of me and the world in general. But I’ve learned that change isn’t for anyone else, it is for me and how I view myself mentally and physically.

"I fear that this person I [will become] won't align with the way that [others] perceive me."
I had a hard time explaining to my therapist this exact fear earlier this week, but you said it beautifully. It's led to years of feeling stagnant and too comfortable with where I am, even though I know I've far outgrown it ❣

[brielyse_]

Are you in my head?! I’m literally in this SAME space in my life. And I struggle because I’m almost 38 years old. I’m in another transition and it is bittersweet

[kierragreer]

I feel like I’m sitting here listening to myself talk wow. Literally every word that rolled off of your tongue. This is a conversation that I’ve had with myself time and time again.

I hit rock bottom in the last year, lost my job, car, my ex of 4 years. All of it was completely my fault. I was in a fog trying to please others around me and putting on a mask that everything was fine while inside I was dealing with a lot of internalized trauma. I say all that to say I thought all this time isolated was a punishment from the universe when it's really been my biggest blessing. I finally realized that I'm not alone and that even in my dark times I still haven't missed a beat. I'm still trying to get it all together and I'm taking the steps necessary. Everything I want is mine I just gotta put in the work. Everything I need, I already have. In this current moment I am very blessed and if you even took the time to read my rant, I hope you have a good day and continue to get 1% better everyday🤟🏽

[flipthescript.]

The way I felt this in my soul !!! I dimmed my light so low it cut off and I was left in the dark cringy place. I couldnt even recognize myself. I said at the end of last year, Im done playing about me and everything that does not bring me peace, joy & happiness must GO !

[NakiaThePurestReflection]

I swear this will be played on the regularly throughout the year as a reminder. The soundtrack for 2024. Thank you so much! May we all aim to thrive❤

[aliciathomas]

This is a word for my SOUL today. Thank you for this!
