You can’t outrun your shadow, but you can turn around and face the sun.

You cannot get away from the parts of yourself you dislike by moving faster. The shadow keeps pace because it is produced by you standing in the light, and running changes nothing about its position. Turning is a different move entirely. Facing the source means the thing is behind you instead of in front, which is not the same as it being gone, and it is the only version that ever works.

Name the thing you have been outrunning. Say it to one person this week in plain words, which is usually what turning around looks like.
