All I ever wanted was to prove people wrong and carve my own path. The late nights second-guessing every decision. The early mornings figuring out how to make it work. Times when I was broke, hoping someone would give me a shot. Days I had to sell things I loved just to get by—or when my gear was stolen straight out of my car. No handouts. No shortcuts. I took the hits and kept moving. The last two years show how much someone can grow when they don’t quit. All it takes is one text, one call, one DM—and your life can change overnight. If you’re second-guessing your choices, don’t let doubt erase how far you’ve come. Every day you show up is a win. To everyone who supported me and this journey—you know who you are. Thank you. The late nights, early mornings, and five hours of sleep are finally starting to pay off. And don’t get it twisted—we haven’t gone soft. We’re hungrier than ever.
