Author Cheryl Strayed offers this wisdom in her bestselling book “Tiny Beautiful Things,” a curated collection of insights from her “Dear Sugar” advice columns in the online literary magazine “The Rumpus.” Strayed is known for her explorations of grief, resilience, and self-discovery. Her writing reflects her own journey, and this quote speaks to the importance of growth, reminding us that clinging to outdated identities can stifle our happiness. Our perspective shifts as we grow, and letting go of who we used to be can make room for more joy and authenticity in our lives. Strayed’s words encourage us to welcome those changes rather than mourning what no longer fits — after all, self-reinvention isn’t a loss, it’s freedom.
