Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- One part of me wants out, another part won’t let me, and they just war with each other on a loop
- A part of me that used to be brutally harsh has genuinely softened lately, but I notice I’m still relating to it like the old enemy it used to be

- Mid-performance I’m already living in the result
