The moment I realized I was a different person
So last week my buddy texted inviting me to Vegas for his bachelor party. Old me would've been packed in 10 minutes. New me? I asked about the dates, thought about logistics, what my daughter would do, and honestly just... didn't want to go. Then I saw his text chain with other guys saying I'd changed. And you know what? He's right. But I'm good with it now.
This right here. That's growth man. Old me would've been gone without a second thought too. New me realizes one night away hits different when you've got little ones depending on you.
