Because feelings are fleeting. They are influenced by mood, by circumstance, by the way someone said good morning or the way they did not text back fast enough. If you build a relationship on how someone makes you feel, you are building on sand. One bad week, one argument, one moment of distance, and the whole thing shakes. But when you build on who you are becoming, you build on something solid. You build on growth, on alignment, on mutual evolution.
Am I growing? Am I becoming more secure, more regulated, more expressive? Or am I shrinking? Am I becoming more anxious, more doubtful, more disconnected from myself?
If none of the growth is happening, you should not be there. No matter how you feel. No matter how much history you share. No matter how much you love them. If you are not becoming a better version of yourself, the relationship is not serving you. It is holding you back. And love is not supposed to hold you back. It is supposed to propel you forward.
The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read.

that’s neuroplasticity in real time.
