Yes, this: It’s about finding self-worth amid all kinds of struggles. We all have struggles, and they're all freaking hard, I don't care how much "success" you've found. Existential crises always hurt. Hopefully, the struggles point us toward real self-worth, coming from somewhere deep within. Thanks for sharing, man.

You made me smile and that is a giant feat for today. Thank you thank you old (HA) friend for being so freakin honest. I loved the video. I loved all of it—-even the uncomfortable parts. I wish I had more than that for you but that’s all I got right now. Just thank you, I agree, and keep searching (and praying).

Thanks for the read today, Alec. Helped me feel normal and okay. I'm in a very different boat in regards to finances and privilege, but a similar boat, I suppose, when it comes to feeling sad some days. I picked up that same book but didn't have the "strength" ;) to finish. Curious if you recommend it after reading. Really appreciate you writing this for all of us to read. That and, if I may be so bold to suggest a podcast episode, #63 of the Durable Dad podcast has helped a lot of guys out.

Good, deep stuff sir. That 2nd chapter of TMZ sounds brutal.
