I used to think that moving cities could solve my problems. And while the hyper-independence was empowering for a while, it brought on a whole new set of difficulties – think painful separations, goodbyes, blindsiding others (and even myself). Today I’m unpacking the urge to run when life feels off, the duality of independence vs connection, and how I’m reframing things with a growth mindset so I can stay – not run – when things get uncomfortable.
