Fully agree, which makes it feel weird to re-read my own comment and for it to sound so off-tone.
If I were to re-write the comment I'd say something along the lines of, "In time, there may be new opportunities worth exploring."
What's on my mind is that while by no means one ought to give up on the things in their life that may provide a sense of identity, those don't have to be your only possible source of identity going forward. Even that requires the most careful and gentle of touches. Identity is so important and not something you can just change so suddenly.
