How I found the confidence to write

Here's something I've never shared, going back to the moments that led me to this life. So I went on a bachelor party trip with some friends to Joshua Tree. There was psychedelics involved on this trip, and I just sat down on this rock on a substance of some sort. And this was as I was starting the newsletter, and I just remember sitting there for probably 3 hours in this one spot, just having this deep breathing happening and this like phrase of, I have wisdom to share, coming through me over and over and over. And I was just watching this crazy visualization of some kind of sitting Buddha thing that made me feel like I can do this. Like, it gave me the confidence that, like, okay, maybe I do have things to share. That was a really powerful moment just to give me confidence that there's something inside me that's like, oh yeah, maybe I could do this thing.
