6 years sober today.

I used to think sobriety would make life smaller - less wild, less weird, less fun.

As it turns out, there’s far more magic on this side.

I’ve had six years of clarity, connection, cringey dancing, bad dates, belly laughs, brutal honesty, and real joy.

No filter. No blackout. No numbing.

Just me, all in.

And I couldn’t be happier.

I like the photo. It's just me. 

I read something @rrhoover posted - years ago now - about how you should just pick a profile pic and never change it. Helps people remember you. It was a good note. 

This is me. And I'm not much for smiling selfies.
