There was a season where I was doing everything “right” on paper and still felt empty, exhausted, and disconnected from the people I loved most.
Not lazy.
Not broken.
Just depleted.
That version of me isn’t a chapter I hide. It’s the reason I refuse shortcuts, hype, or borrowed confidence now.
What you’re seeing isn’t optimization.
It’s what happens when a man stops pretending and starts rebuilding from the inside out.
