What I get from this sentence (out of context) is to not burn bridges. Have a way to go back if you decide the new direction isn't right for you.

For any of us I think.

Novelty generation has some of these driving forces amped up, but typecasting I think applies to so many of us. And has basically for all of history.

I think that it's more speaking to... "I know why this thing that I'm leaving led me to the place I'm going, and I'm appreciative for that." Notsomuch the practical burning bridges in terms of jobs, but the piece I was quoting was more about the mental progression of "Okay I was really into this type of relationship, but it doesn't work for me any more. But I'm going to keep the connection of why it did work for me, so I can have context and appreciation for the growth I'm experiencing as a person."
