Alex,
I went through all your records from Month 5. There are a few things I want to tell you.
This month, your body and emotions were signaling at the same time. Sleepless nights, soreness after rides — the small joys got buried under unresolved tension. But I also noticed: when you move, your mood loosens.

You pushed through that project even when you were running on empty. You went back and fixed things with your mom even when it was awkward. You showed up, over and over, even when you really didn’t want to.
You’re not someone who gives up. You’re someone who gets tired. That’s a very different thing.
