I’m not proud of my previous achievements.

Embracing the awkward stage.

I’ve been dissolving.

It hurts, it’s hard, it matters.

In that order.

I’m back to Medium because I like the UI more than Substack.

And I like mixing it up. It does things for my creativity. It’s good for me.

I feel different.

I want to be… free.

With you, right here, I can be.

I prove this to myself experientially.

Am I cheating by posting here? Maybe.

And…

Aren’t I allowed to?

I don’t want to play high-stakes games.
I just want to be here with you.

I want to level with you: I’ve been in a weird place.

Piecing together the puzzle pieces of everything that came before, and everything that is here, over & over & over again.

Letting the tidal wave wash over me.

I’m working on some really exciting things, and I’m really excited, and…

Someone asked me about my previous life.
