Love this thread. I totally feel you. As your " state" changes, everything around you will change. Especially you lifted yourself up and you have that sense of " I can do it" inside of you, it is amazing that you grew out of that life style and that little voice inside of you " I CAN DO IT!" will not stop, that voice also shows up when you see friends who are very similar to your "old self". Your frustration about your friend comes from the voice in your head that steers your boat:) Be happy that this voice is much louder and taking actions now!! DO REMEMBER: that voice is for yourself and your own good, when you see a mirrored image of your "old self", just KNOW that it is that voice talking to you, not to your friend or even about him, it is a judgement you gave to your "old self" not to your friend. So your "selflove" makes you recents your friend a bit, totally normal!
If your heart wants him as a friend, you will find a way to regulate and control your own thoughts towards him, and if you two are not meant to be as close as before, you will adjust your distance towards that" old self" while you are moving on to bigger/brighter things in life.

I quit my job to be a freelancer in the field of " invention and product design" where I help people with an idea to build them a patent and working prototypes. As this freed up my time and I am pretty sure I only want to work on " other people's ideas" 2 - 3 days a week, I free up my time and still having enough income ( my husband is in the exact same field doing 3 days a week ) to cover our business/ living needs. The rest of the time I invest in "financial education" and investing in real estate. Since I am a visual/ technical designer I am able to have a competitive advantage in the Vacational Rental area and I am pretty happy spending 3 days building quirky places/ experiences for people traveling and earning a good income from BUY/RENOVATE/RENTAIRBNB/REFINANCE.
Maybe for those that are out there 20's 30's that want to be productive while not working on ROI, going part time and be a freelance 1099 worker could be a great way to get out of a 9 to 5 and still be productive yet very FREE with your time.
