This is so true! Thank you.
his is exactly what I mean , it's MY journey. I choose who comes with me.

The part about "they fade into background"

yes! I notice this happening already. When I focus on my goals and stop giving attention to fake people, they just... gone. Like magic.
I still struggle with looking back though. My brain always asking "but why they did this?" But maybe I don't need answer. Maybe I just need to keep going forward.
