Field Notes

Some of this started as notes to myself.

Short pieces from inside the hard chapter. Not advice. Just what it actually looked or felt like.

Couldn't sleep. Mind running. Then I heard it. Soft. Half-asleep. Not even meant for me.

I needed a win. Nothing big. Just something. So I did a hot dog challenge at a local spot. They handed me a t-shirt that said "Biggest Wiener."
