Those early mornings sucked, bro lol, but those were the moments where I was able to discover parts of myself that were hidden. I wanted to know the most authentic and favorite version of myself, not the product of the environments I've experienced. I nonjudgmentally questioned my thoughts, actions, and behaviors. And ask myself, is this who I am to be? Anything that didn't align was removed, and it hurt more than it felt good at the time. But now, I can see and feel the payoff.
