    I’ll never be what I want to be because I’ll never stop trying to grow and develop beyond my current capacity. I am much more than I ever imagined I could be twenty years ago. In a way, this means I am exactly who I want to be: someone who always wants to be a little bit better.

    I just got certified to teach mental health direct care workers to talk people down and how to safely restrain people when they are still posing a threat to themselves and others and that’s a goal I set almost a decade ago and it’s really taking some time to set in that I actually did it. I went from spending 3 hours on a state hospital floor with my back locked up with EPS after getting twice the normal agitation meds to teaching in under 10 years. What the fuck.
