“Your new life is going to cost you your old one.
It’s going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense
of direction.
It’s going to cost you relationships and friends.
It’s going to cost you being liked and understood.
It doesn’t matter.

being understood, you’re going to be seen.
All you’re going to lose is what was built for a person you
no longer are.”
