Growth

Sometimes you don't realize how much you've changed, until you're faced with a part of yourself that you hadn't seen in awhile and it looks foreign. It's not that it isn't still a part of who you are as you know that it will always be, but the manner in which it manifests itself has changed because you have. So now you have a choice, you can feel bad about it, or you can embrace it. One route will cause you greater misery and wastes time because you'll have to take the other route eventually and do you really want to have to backtrack to get to it? So you embrace it and let it go because who you are is stronger than who you were.
