After seven years, you won't be in demand anymore and won't have the same level of popularity. The people you previously worked with might also not hold the same positions of power.

Change is a constant part of life, and sometimes individuals may not receive the same level of attention as before.

I felt a bit wounded that everything continued without me, but I've somewhat come to terms with it at present.

Additionally, the individuals she used to collaborate with lost their authority in the industry.
