the only direction that feels productive while quietly undoing everything you built.
means To move backward — to return to an earlier, often less developed or less desirable state.
from From Latin regressus, the past participle of regredi, 'to go back' — built from re- ('back') plus gradi ('to step, to walk'). The same gradi gives us 'progress' (stepping forward), 'digress' (stepping aside), and 'transgress' (stepping across the line). 'Regress' is simply the step that retraces itself.
