I’ll add this: the loneliness isn’t just cultural, it’s operational. When you grow up in chaos-driven markets, you learn speed, resourcefulness, and a sixth sense for risk. In calmer systems, that muscle can feel “too much,” even to you. But that edge is an asset- not something to silence. The trick is learning to run hot without burning out in a colder climate 😅
Glad it resonated, Michelle. That line’s been living with me too the goal is learning how to stay intense without fighting the environment you’re in. Aim the heat, don’t lose it
