I just wanted to cry.
My soul felt so heavy. Not from sadness or happiness, but from many years of pent up emotion.
It was as if my emotions finally had the okay to unleash their cooped-up fury on every part of my being.
I had been creating six figures worth of product, mostly alone. I would wake up between 2 and 4 in the morning, sitting up in my bed ever so slowly to keep my nausea at bay. I would slip on my soft and stretchy work pants so as not to disturb the swelling that came from the lack of sleep and poor eating patterns. I would brush my teeth, pull my hair back and, barely looking in the mirror, I would head to work.
