The mask I've been wearing most: "not even trying" — turns out that's not the absence of a mask, it's a fifth one, and it's the only one that lets you put the other four down.
How exhausting it's been: Running perfectionist, people pleaser, class clown and rebel all at once just to scan the room for which version keeps me safe — expensive enough that giving up became the only rest available.
What I loved as a kid (before the masks): Making people laugh, no strings attached. And underneath all the masks, what's actually mine (not inherited from my dad): I like serving people — I think I've got a lot to bring to this world.
Friction Audit complete, these are the exact steps I have to take:
1. Walk over to where the mini and paints are.
2. Look at it for 10 seconds. Don't touch a brush.
(Stopping there on purpose — today's win is just showing up to it.)
