HONOURING TRANSFORMATION

Once a person has upgraded,

to cling to their past is to relate with a shadow,

not the substance standing before you.

You are holding a version that has expired,

a chapter already closed,

a frame that no longer carries their present reality.

Growth edits identity.

Transformation rewrites narratives.

And evolution renders old labels obsolete.

To insist on yesterday is to deny today,

and to imprison someone in who they were

is to blind yourself to who they have become.

People are not static exhibits;

they are living processes.

When insight deepens, when character matures,

when perspective expands, the former self quietly bows out.

Wisdom demands discernment, the humility to update your perception as life updates a person.

For honouring growth is acknowledging grace in motion, and refusing to do so is choosing familiarity over truth.

See people as they are becoming, not as they once were. Anything less is an injustice to transformation.
