Until we have begun to go without them, we fail to realize how unnecessary many things are. We've been using them not because we needed them but because we had them.
– Seneca

You may disagree, or may not want to hear this,
but that also applies to people and relationships.
The things that once served you, but no longer do.
The distractions you use.
The temporary fixes.
The false beliefs.
The plans that never play out.
The compromises made too early.
The safety nets.
The nonsense.
The stories you keep telling yourself.
The constant noise.
The comforts that dull you.
The assurances and fears that bind you.
The patience you use to postpone action.
The things you are afraid to be without.
You’ll be fine without them.
