I'm retiring the training watch that has been my loyal companion for the last two years: The G-Shock GBD-H2000. It didn't break and I didn't fall out of love with it. I actually got a new watch for the next stage of my adventures:
GTD #19 Ran like hell this chapter. What changed? I finally decided to be myself. I resented it, avoided it, protested it. Distanced myself from the people that were close to me because I didn't want to be me. But we can't escape who we are
