Being seen meant being in danger.

So I spent 35 years invisible. Unremarkable. Safe.

You are making changes, but the "result" you want is not going to happen overnight.

Rock bottom is not a requirement to change. You do not have to hate yourself or your life to want and achieve better.

You are not defined by your past. Not your mistakes, not your circumstances, and not what has been done to you.

I used to talk about how I was gonna win. Loudly.
People didn’t doubt me—they just got tired of hearing it.
