I must say although it feels good it's still hard. I knew it wouldn't be easy but to be honest, the hard part is having to balance time.

I don't think you can underestimate how soul destroying it is. Honestly, being there sucked the pride out of me. Repetitive, boring, stressful. I'll never do that again.
