No one tells you this part.
Improvement looks good on paper.
But in real life, it’s lonely.

Because the moment you start rising,
you stop fitting into the places you used to shrink for.

People who once felt comfortable around you
start feeling exposed.
Your discipline reminds them of their excuses.
Your progress reminds them of their stagnation.

So they distance themselves.
They joke about your new habits.
They call you obsessed.
Not because you’re wrong—
but because change threatens everything they’ve accepted.

Growth doesn’t just upgrade you.
It filters your surroundings.

And the higher you climb,
the quieter it gets.

But silence isn’t a punishment.
It’s a sign you finally left the noise
that once kept you small.
