Everyone has a car they have not gotten into yet.

Not a literal car. The thing. The decision. The step that has been sitting there waiting for you to feel ready. And here is what I know — you are never going to feel ready. The nerves are going to be there regardless. The not-knowing is going to be there regardless. The only variable is whether you get in.

This episode is about every threshold feeling the same from the inside — and the muscle that gets built every time you cross one anyway. What the actual departure looked like. What August 1st meant four years apart. And why the clarity you are waiting for does not come from the driveway. It comes from being on the road.

Get in the car. The rest follows from that.
