Everything that happened yesterday—
and the yesterdays before that—
is real.
The degree you earned.
The mistake you made.
The community you joined.
The one you didn’t.
Sunk costs.
Paid in full.
Gifts from your former self.
But like all gifts,
you don’t have to keep them.
You can say:
“No thank you.”
“I see the law degree,
but I don’t need it on the shelf.”
“I’ve carried the consequence.
Now I move.”
The work ahead
is worth more
than the weight behind.
💭 What sunk cost are you still honoring?
