Hi Reader,

You know that sentence you tell yourself when life is a mess?

Once we get through this...

Once they get sober.

Once the money gets better.

Once the relationship ends.

Once the health scare is over.

Once things finally calm the hell down.

Then we'll be okay.

And sometimes?

The thing you've been waiting for actually happens.

You exhale.

Except...

everything isn't suddenly okay.

Well, that's rude.

Because somewhere along the way, we can accidentally turn the biggest problem in our lives into the explanation for every problem in our lives.

And when that problem finally changes, we may discover something we weren't expecting.

Some things changed with it.

Some things didn't.

And some things were hiding underneath it the whole damn time.

That's what this week's article is about.

Keep it brash.
Keep it true to you.

Because you matter.

P.S. Better still matters. The fact that there's more to deal with doesn't erase how far you've come.
