   Where was this article a decade ago, huh Nate?! JK

   Every looth can relate to this, I’m sure. It’s something I continue chipping away at. I feel like I’ve had layers upon layers to sort out after a decade of building up bad habits. You that are young in your loothing career. Nip this shit in the bud. Much respect to you and your wordsmithing, Nate.

      Thanks Ben! I think a decade ago I had no idea things could get as gnarly as they actually do inside one’s head. It’s been interesting to see a bunch of us in the Looth Group all have this click at the same time.

   I love this point of view. My ideal version of myself never loses her inner calm… but the real version really appreciates this well written reminder to reset with a slow-down!

   I love this gem:
   “How am I simultaneously the ring leader and clown in this stupid circus of my own making?”

   Thanks for sharing this with us, Nate! It’s really valuable!

      Thanks Grace! I’m always runnin’ around in my stupid circus, but sometimes I get a grip for a bit.
