Your reflection on grieving what you quit while celebrating the space it opens is so good. It makes letting go feel as an act of courage, not loss. Thank you for sharing.

I also have a personal question I wanted to ask, I left it inbox, when you have time please check it out.

Thank you for posting. In my experience, it's both scary and thrilling to let go of things, especially ones that once had significant value. And books—well, that's the whole thing, isn't it? I left academia but it took me ten years to finally get rid of my texts and law books. In the end, I told myself they were a) out of date and/or b) replaceable. That helped.
