The poster and his new belt stepping into the new year.

the last selfie of β€˜25 and a reminder that the year did plenty on me but my friends and family helped lift me up. said goodbye to a dream job in CT, moved back to houston, lost my best friend/brother, saw a convo with my therapist come true and put that shit on time after time.
