@MelodySHolt@MelodySHolt No, you didn't "fall" back. What you did was step up (so you could clearly see them), then you stepped out from them (to get away from them), and then you stepped forward to make progress, thereby, leaving them to fend for themselves. Keep moving upwards.
If they say they know the “real” you and are referring to the “flawed” you that maybe no one else sees but them and not the you that God says you are, they don’t know you at all.
