It’s strange and beautiful to realise that you can be simultaneously proud of how far you have come and aware that you have barely scratched the surface of who you could become.
So I tried this thing that men do when they just don’t emotionally process anything and instead they lock in on work and the gym and I am afraid they are onto something.
You sometimes as an adult just have to decide "this is the last time these people are gonna make me feel this way" and stand on it. Rather that be family, a relationship or a friendship.
