Oh I smiled reading this. Loved it.

I’m all for embracing my many contradictions. Being ‘em!

And this sentence: “I have very much felt like an enigma in my life and that contrast only sharpened when I got sober.”

Yup. It’s like the lights got turned on for the first time in a long time once I got sober. I could see all my sweet quirky corners and encouraged them all to come on out of the dark and dance around.
