You are going to be yourself for the rest of your life! I thought I’d evolve into an entirely different person in my mid 30s because I “did the work” for so long, but it hasn’t happened. I’m accepting that it never will. I will just become a more manageable version of the worst parts of myself with (hopefully) more emphasis on the easier parts of me. Accepting this reality has been life-changing as I stop waiting for a non-existent, “better” version of myself to suddenly appear and save me from being myself
