SEATTLE -- "Dear younger JR. Becoming the best you will take time and understanding. That knot in your stomach -- the one that makes you feel confused, isolated, lost in the world -- invisible to everyone but you? It will slowly loosen. You don't even understand the knot, but with time you will learn things about yourself and fulfill dreams so many others like you feel they cannot."
These are the words of an older and more insightful Justin Rogers. This is what Rogers would tell his younger self about how it is OK to fully embrace and understand those feelings at a time when it feels like there is no road map.
