Featured quote:

Getting over that inner critic, that voice, that thing that's fucking stopping you every time you wake up, right? As soon as your brain clicks on in the morning, it's there. You know, it's coming with you when you're pouring your cup of coffee on your way to work, getting dressed, brushing teeth.
It's always like, what are you doing, you piece of shit? Is that the shirt you're going to wear? Oh, you look pretty fat in that fucking shirt, fatso. Oh, you're going to eat something else? Okay, cool. That's going to be fucking good for you, right? Yeah.
It is there with you constantly. And for you to be able to recognize it, identify it, and then choose otherwise, brother, that's a huge thing.
