Starting over, changing shape, ambition, burnout and what happens when the old plan stops fitting.

Most people only tell the cleaned-up version once they know how the story ends.
This journal isn't that.
A few pieces come from memories I thought I'd buried properly. Others come from things I'm still trying to understand in real time.
The good days, the messy ones, the moments where things finally make sense, and the moments where they completely don't.
Nothing here is about pretending to have the perfect answer. It's about being honest about the process.
