I won’t let myself believe you this time, Target… I can’t…

The Easy and Medium are almost hand in hand. That Hard, they don't mess around with the Hard.

I'm listening to Mahalia Jackson and I just entered a flow state like never before. Each domino fell into place without effort

Just finished the Hard NYT Pips in 2:58 and I feel unstoppable
