It's wild how much of a mind game this whole thing is sometimes, especially early on. Like, I'm almost at 1 week, and my brain is still trying to trick me into thinking I'm missing out on something. But then I remember what I'm actually gaining – like, a clear head, real emotions instead of dulled ones, and just generally feeling more present. It's a trade I'd make any day, even when it feels SO hard. We're all choosing something better, and that's a powerful thing.
