But finding an activity or something I could do in my life that I was finding so much benefit from, but something where, when I'm going out to do a trail run, there's other people running and there's other people in the race, but like it's me versus me, and so doing something like you know my first ultra marathon or even my first race, and coming to understand that I was capable, could, because I only identified as Sean the dope, um, you know I didn't, I didn't think I was anything more than that.
