“It definitely feels a way that I never thought I would get to feel, and that mostly manifests in how present I feel, the ease I feel and the ability to exist,” he says. “There’s been periods in my life where I really felt like I didn’t.

I just was always kind of shut off, anxious. I used to never feel like my skin was my own.”
