What a story—thanks for being so raw, Brooks. That continuing, awkward relationship with acceptance is so transformative. This part had all my hairs standing on end:

> “I’m going into a really dark place,” I stammered. “I’m so scared.”

> “OK,” he responded, cool as a cucumber. “Let’s do it. I’ve got you.”

Thanks so much, Dan! "That continuing, awkward relationship with acceptance" is a great way to put it, haha. I couldn't agree more.

And yeah... phew. That was a pivotal f***ing moment. Has my hairs standing on end thinking back on and remembering it, too.

Appreciate you reading and sharing your thoughts. Sending you all the best, brother. 🙏🏼
