Definitely some getting used to, but as time went on, I did get used to the fact of who I am, Steveson shared. A lot of it is you gotta be comfortable with yourself. If youre not comfortable with yourself, then things wont work. Maybe there could have been a lot of things that I could have done better, yes, but I feel like Im really comfortable with myself, and theres really not much to say on that part.
