i decided to grow up

Something happened when I moved to NYC. I decided to grow up.

I am in the best shape of my life. I am the most healthy I've been. We cook almost every night. I've mostly given up alcohol. I am also the most mentally alive and available.

I've removed dairy, soy, coffee, and most sugars from my diet. My skin is great. I am finally fit to take on the world. I get to sleep at a reasonable time most nights.
I stopped trying to make new friends. I keep in touch with a lot of old ones. I finally figured out how to manage my time. Most days I do what I say I'm going to do. Every weekend is an epic adventure.

I finally learned how to say no to everyone and everything I don't want to do. I am basically living the dream. I am working on a mission I love for people that I admire.
I've become a lot more selfish. Not for myself, but for my child.

I told myself three years ago never to put the company before myself. Because I've prioritized maintaining my own health I am finally in a position where I don't have to spend too much time worrying about myself and can spend 99% of my time worrying about Experiment.

I wake up at dawn every morning thinking about how we can take over the world. I can remember and control my dreams again.

I finally gave in and stopped trying to be what other people want me to be. I gave myself the permission to be my true self. By way of that I feel that I am getting closer and closer to becoming my best self.

If you're incredible once, it doesn't make you incredible forever. If anything it makes it hard to keep up your own incredulity.

That's what science requires from us, what science deserves from us. Science can only move faster if the creators of the movement give themselves the space to do their best work.

Nothing ever fixes itself. Things are fixed by the motion of a single human. That human could be anyone. The group of humans could be us. For what it is worth, I finally believe it has to be us.
