Shoes that pinch because your feet grew are an annoying kind of good news.

Some problems are only produced by things going right. Shoes stop fitting because the body did what it was supposed to do, and the cost is downstream of growth rather than of anything failing. The irritation is real, and so is the progress it is evidence of.

Sort what has been annoying you this month into two piles: things going wrong, and things that only hurt because something got bigger. New work because you got better at something, friends who are harder to see because they are busy. Say the good part out loud at least once, then go ahead and complain about the shoes.
