outgrowing people is very real. we all bloom in different seasons and sometimes you might be evolving in different areas of life, faster than your peer or partner. it can be painful when you realize. will they catch up to you someday? maybe. that’s none of your concern though.
One of the biggest mistakes we make in relationships is hoping our partner will catch on to what we want without us communicating it. Our partners can’t read our minds, and if we want a need to be met, we have to speak it.
95% of relationship issues are actually communication issues. Learning to directly express your needs, and to understand the needs of another is a massively underrated life skill.
