Truths about outgrowing people you still love

One of the most difficult and silent aspects of self-development is to grow beyond the people that you love. Emotions do not always get lost when the directions are altered. You may still care about another person or even love him/her greatly but you are no longer tied by the values, priorities or emotional needs as it used to be before. Even when development is normal, that change can be accompanied by guilt, confusion and sadness. Relationships change and people change and not all the relationships are supposed to remain as they are. Knowing this will enable you to go forward and not with bitterness. Growth does not cancel out love, instead it just alters the position that a person can play in your life.
