Starting point is 00:00:00 Hi friends, I did it. I'm in Houston. I fucking moved. I actually full blown ass did the shit I ran away and I made it and I'm safe and I'm so Happy I fucking did this. I hope I don't sound echoey because my closet is fucking huge And I'm not trying to sound like a pretentious asshole, but like y'all my closet is massive I just don't make no fucking sense as bad as big as the damn living room as you can hear a cat came with me but let me start off let me fill you in let me fill you in real quick so I got the apartment that I wanted yeah I can't tell you about it um everything's gone fucking like good with that but everything else has gone fucking wrong like every little thing that can go wrong has gone fucking wrong, like every little thing that can go
Starting point is 00:00:46 wrong has gone fucking wrong. I've been here for 6 days now, still don't have fucking Wi-Fi, they tried to set it up and the wiring in my wall is bad, so they have to send a technician out from the apartment complex to repair the wiring in the wall, run new wiring, then the AT&T guy has to come back out and set up my Wi-Fi, and I'm just like, mother fucker. Because I have to use AT&T. I can't use nobody else. There's some contract with the apartment, whatever.
Starting point is 00:01:16 That's just the beginning of my fucking struggles. If you've been following me on Instagram, I've vented on my story about everything going wrong. I just wanna do a fucking live so bad on TikTok and just like shoot my shit and like share as much as I can. You know, like I'd like to provide value, like to be of use and it's like I can't do that because my service is not strong enough and then my neighbor's wife, I doesn't reach to my apartment.
Starting point is 00:01:38 So like I can't even use her shit. Her name's Amanda, she's real sweet, she's cute. But yeah, everyone's been saying it's a mercury retrograde and I kind of like don't believe in that shit but I kind of do now I'm like yeah now I'm like there is no other explanation like I thought I got hexed and y'all know that I swore off like witchcraft and all that type shit so I like pulled my box of witchy shit out yeah I brought it with me of course I did I didn't bring no furniture. I brought clothes and cat And I something just homely to bring my little box of like my wishy supplies
Starting point is 00:02:09 And I sure as fuck did and I needed them already like I had to test if I had been hex I've not been hexed so it must just be the fucking stars being out of alignment Miss Mercury Reds create because the amount of shit that's gone wrong is like Unparalleled and I'm not kidding shut the fuck up cat please My god, I don't know how to I don't want to lock her away like outside of the closet, you know because I feel bad Like she's she's struggling with like adjusting like she's adjusting, but she's like being a little fucking weird and she's being a little needy I am all over the place for this podcast, but I do have some points I want to make. I've had some pretty big realizations moving so far. And I'm going to do a full podcast episode next week on Inspiration.
Starting point is 00:02:52 I think and like self-discipline kind of, I'm going to kind of touch on that. But I think that's going to be next week's episode. But for this week's episode, I want to talk about some realizations I've had and just some fucking shit. So I want to start off with the one that I had around finding furniture. And if you listened to last week's episode, you know the hustle with the goddamn fucking couch. I actually had someone reach out to me and said to call corporate, like Restoration Hardware Corporate, and see if they could honor it and give me the couch at the price that they had it advertised. And I had a little hope, like I had a little hope again Like I had a little hope again,
Starting point is 00:03:26 and I was like, fuck it, I'll call them. But I only was gonna call them because I've tried to find other cultures and I just don't fuck with any of them. So I was like, all right, let me just go get the one I know that I want. Let me just try. I call corporate like one of the fucking carons.
Starting point is 00:03:39 And I'm like, hi. So everybody at the other store keeps dicking me around and I need some help. Like I need to figure out, like, I need someone higher up to step in and like give me some guidance and help me with the situation. Basically they told me to go fuck myself and they said no the price is what it is. So the college is not happening. The cloud college is not mine. It will never be mine. It's fine. what the fuck ever. Okay. So this sent me on a fucking hunt to go find new furniture. And I needed three things when I moved in. So I bought a mattress and a box so that I could put it in my car and move it. I got that. I threw it on the floor,
Starting point is 00:04:17 I'm doing great with that. I needed a desk and a chair because I had awareness appointments and like coaching calls set up and scheduled for Thursday when I moved in on Monday. So I had three days to go find all my shit which was I thought was plenty of time. No. So I ordered my desk before I even left Pensacola to make sure that I would get here on time. And it wasn't a cheap desk, it was like 650 bucks, it was the adjustable one like a tall one that goes like standing and sitting from
Starting point is 00:04:47 Wayfar. It was white. It was pretty it was simple and it came with the fucking crack up the middle. So My desk was fucked. I couldn't find any more desks that I liked running around all the furniture stores and None of them could be delivered that quick And I couldn't find a fucking chair that I liked on marketplace like I was like I'm not paying like a 300 for an office chair, eat my ass. I'll go find one on marketplace for like 80 bucks, 100 bucks, whatever it is. And the ones on marketplace are just not it. Like for what I just caught a bad timing, I guess. With like I'm not finding shit on marketplace. I'm not finding a fuck thing. And if I do,
Starting point is 00:05:22 it's like four hours away. I go to Goodwill. And I buy the chair that I'm not finding a fuck thing and if I do it's like four hours away I go to Goodwill and I buy the chair that I'm sitting in right now as I'm recording this And it was 15 bucks and it was it's fucking great actually like it a lot like I got it just to get myself by But I actually really like this chair There was two of them and I wish I bought the other one too because they're in like really good condition Whatever besides the point I needed three fucking things My strain of luck has been very bad But my whole point about finding furniture's I needed the three fucking things and I couldn't find the three fucking things to save my life So I've gone into a lot of stores and I've looked at a lot of shit
Starting point is 00:05:56 And I'm someone that I don't like things that I don't love like if I don't love something I'm not buying it. I will not fucking have it in my home if I don't love it. And that poses an issue because my taste is very specific and I'm very like picky and particular with what I like and don't like. So it's a little bit hard to find shit that I'm willing to buy. And I went to like a lot of fucking furniture places. I went to IKEA, which was fun. I went to Ashley furniture. I went to like the little ratchet, like furniture for less places, gallery furniture. I went to IKEA, which was fun. I went to Ashley furniture. I went to like the little ratchet like furniture for less places gallery furniture. I went to all like the cheap furniture places cheap-ish places and also like the
Starting point is 00:06:34 Upper-there kind of places not the restoration hardware, but like I went to all ranges of furniture stores and I could not find a Motherfucking thing that I liked and I was just like god damn But my whole realization about all this shit Leo gets to the fucking point is I'm looking for something special like I need things that are very specific and very particular and are fucking good And I don't typically like what everybody else likes. I don't like anything and I hear I don't like The shit that other people like I don't like anything in IKEA. I don't like the shit that other people like. I don't have normal taste. But I kept going where normal people go and I kept going to places that have the furniture for people with normal taste. And I kept getting frustrated because I'm like, why the fuck can't I find anything?
Starting point is 00:07:18 It's because I'm looking in the wrong fucking place. Like, I'm not gonna find special in normal places. And then that unraveled a full fucking realization about everything, about people, about furniture, about places, about literally, that realization just cracked my brain open, and I went to town. Like, I was just like, whoa. Like, all the things I started to realize about that,
Starting point is 00:07:42 like, you can't find special in normal places. And if you keep trying to look for special things in normal places, you're only ever going to find normal. So what I have to do is look at what's in my control. And that is where I'm going. So if I want special, I got to go try and find places where there are special things. Like I love antique shops. I love goodwill because it has like antique type of shit. If you can find like things in good condition. But I really, really love antique shops because
Starting point is 00:08:10 they have the shit that I'm looking for. And I love just going around and looking in antique shops. Like I'm someone that can appreciate the life of something. So like I see a piece of furniture or I see something and I think about like who had it before and like the situation that this was like used because I bought some shot glasses from Goodwill and they were like fancy shmancy fucking like with the stem like they look like a champagne glass but they were shot glasses like they had like a little stem on them and I was like oh my god this is so fucking cute but like I just wonder like the party that those were used that I don't even know if they are shot glasses I'm just running my mouth, but I'm gonna use them in shot glasses. I got three. That's all they had
Starting point is 00:08:49 but I just wonder like oh what was the story behind this? I try to picture like oh what did it look like when these glasses were in use? Like in their prime, you know like I just love thinking about shit like that. I love things with like a Little past a little history. I love things that don't fit the era of now because there is no fucking vibe of like the 2020s. Like it's fucking gross. I like shit from the 90s and the 80s. And like early 2000s, you know, like I just, I like things with a little story. I like things with a little life before me. Just not people. I don't want nobody. I date to fucking have no life before me. Just not people. I don't want nobody I date to fucking have no life before me. I don't want you to have dated nobody before me. But my furniture and my cups can have
Starting point is 00:09:30 a life before me. That's it. Let's get clear on that. But yeah, that also like rocked my shit about like finding a partner like dating or like trying to find friends. You can't look for special people in normal places. You can find people anywhere but your chances of finding them are very low. Like me finding someone that's actually worth the fuck on Tinder, not happening. You know, so just put yourself in the places where you can find what you're looking for. Be strategic and like if you're going to put your effort into trying to find something, make sure you're putting your effort looking into places that have a higher chance of you getting what you want. Okay, so my next realization is just like my personal
Starting point is 00:10:06 thing and I'm gonna kind of vent for a second. So when I'm down in life or like I'm just down and sad or whatever, I find people on social media and I kind of like attach myself to them and I will stalk their shit. Like every day I just look forward to their videos and I'm so happy and I consume everything they put out just because I'm so like obsessed with them and I look at them as like my new friend. And when I'm like lonely, I'll put on put out just because I'm so like obsessed with them And I look at them as like my new friend and when I'm like lonely I'll put on their podcasts. I'll put on their videos. I'll do whatever just like have them talking in the background So like I don't feel alone, you know, but I do this a lot with people, but something that I fucking hate Is when I'm in like a low point and this person I find is also in like a low point, and then they get a bunch
Starting point is 00:10:45 of followers, and they get a bunch of money, and they move away, and they like start over, and they're like doing great now, because I'm still like sad or in the same spot that I was in, and like you just left bitch. Like what, like I feel kind of like left behind when that happens, I don't know that's kind of weird, but I don't know if anyone relates,
Starting point is 00:11:04 but people have said that my podcast is like their comfort thing. And I know exactly what it's like to be on the opposite side and need someone for comfort. So like it makes me really happy that I am not for people, but I just wanted to reassure you that I've not changed. I'm not rich. I have not moved away and leveled up. Like I'm doing okay. I just want to reassure you. I'm very much still the exact same person. I have not moved away and leveled up. Like I'm doing okay. I just want to reassure you I'm very much still the exact same person. I have not left you. I'm never going to leave you. And I hope you don't feel like anything's changed except my surroundings.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Like I genuinely hope you still feel connected to me because when people that I follow at these times, like when they move and like do things different, I feel like they change so much and not in like a good way because I feel like they change so much and not in a good way because I feel like they're not relatable anymore. I just don't relate to them because they're not in the place that I was. And we all have to change, we all have to grow. But I just want you all to know no matter what I grow into, I'm still always going to be the same person at heart. So you're safe to feel attached to me and come along for the ride. Like you are never gonna lose me. Like who I am at the core,
Starting point is 00:12:06 is who I am at the core, and it's never gonna change. And that leads me into my next realization, bitch, is there is no rules for life. There literally is, you can do whatever you want at any moment. I just got up and ran the fuck away. And nobody stopped me. Nothing stopped me. Like I'm totally okay to do that. I'm totally okay to change my life at any fucking second.
Starting point is 00:12:32 I'm totally allowed to do anything I want. If I wake up and I want to go to a fucking sex shop, I can. If I want to go completely run away again and move away again, I can. Actually, I just signed this fucking lease, but I can break it and leave. So I can move, but I'm not going to. But my point is like, there's no rules for life. There's no structure until you add it. So like when you think about like going to school when you were younger, that's the first time you were really like shown structure
Starting point is 00:12:59 and how things are supposed to go and you're given rules, you were given expectations of like, this is what your life is supposed to look like. Cause like you wake up, you go to school, you disheat that, whatever. But that kind of like sticks with you until you break that mental mold. And when I was living with my dad,
Starting point is 00:13:16 I was on this weird routine of like, my day ended when he got home from work. So it was an unspoken fucking thing. Like when I was younger, it was like, have your ass home when I get home. And it was just like an understood thing. But it never stopped because I never stopped it in my own brain.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Like I just knew at five o'clock every day when he got home, my day ended. So when he left at 8 a.m., I would wake up and start my day. And I would be so rushed, and I would be so like flustered trying to get everything done. So because I knew my day, like, air quote ended at five. And what I mean by ended is like,
Starting point is 00:13:56 I'm at the house now. And if he needs something to have to be there, like he would just ask me for random ass shit. And like, I would have to be there to help him because he doesn't like understand, like the computer, he doesn't understand Wifi, he doesn't random ass shit. And I would have to be there to help him because he doesn't understand, the computer he doesn't understand, Wi-Fi he doesn't understand most shit, cooking, I'd have to basically help take care of him.
Starting point is 00:14:14 But I'd have to be there at the drop of a hat. So it's like he'd be fine for a couple hours and would all of a sudden need something and I would have to go help him. That never ended, that never stopped. So I looked at my day as my day ends at five when he gets home because it's like then I can't sit down and just focus on anything like I have to be there and like be willing to jump up and help him if He needs something because he's not the type to sit around and like wait if he asks you to help him
Starting point is 00:14:38 It's like get the fuck up now and do it and I'm living in your house rent free So I can at least give you that, you know But that fucked me me because I didn't want to record my podcast when I was at home. I didn't want to do coaching calls when I was at home. So like I just had to live my life very like structured and like set in that time. But after moving out, my day doesn't fucking end. I can literally do whatever I want, whenever I want. And that freedom, I can't explain to you. Like I literally live alone. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want. And that freedom, I can't explain to you. Like I literally live alone. I can do whatever that I've walked around, make it every fucking day,
Starting point is 00:15:10 just because I can, with the blinds fucking open. Cause I don't give a fuck if my neighbor's seen me. Look at my dick, I don't care. I literally don't give a shit. I'm just having so much fun and I feel so fucking free. And I know I just made it seem like, I was really like
Starting point is 00:15:25 structured and like my parents were strict and all that. But like living with my dad, I wasn't like not allowed to leave. I just knew like I wanna try and be there for him if I have to be. You know what I mean? Like I would still go out and do shit
Starting point is 00:15:37 if I wanted to go do shit at night. But what I meant was like my life inside the house ended. Like at five. So like my day stopped and I had to like be there to take care of him. If I wanted privacy, if I wanted to go work on editing shit on my computer, I had to go to a coffee shop because he'd fucking need something. I had to have to jump up and quit what I'm doing. I don't have that structure anymore.
Starting point is 00:15:58 I don't have shit. I don't have guilt. I don't have nothing worrying about anybody else. I literally worry about me. I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, and I keep saying that because I'm just so fucking like shocked by it, like I'm so happy about it, and I'm just like, what the fuck? Literally, I can leave something on the counter and it doesn't move, it doesn't go anywhere. I can leave my shit wherever I want to leave it and not have that thing in the back of my head of like,
Starting point is 00:16:23 oh fuck, is that gonna be thrown away when I get back? Is that going to be moved? Is that going to be it? Like all my shit just stays where I leave it because my dad was bad about that. He would throw shit away if he didn't know what it was or like he would just move shit and I'm like, don't fucking touch it. But yeah, like there's so much freedom that comes living on your own and like moving out. And like the realization cracked of like, you're free. And that's with life too, like even living with my dad. Like you're so free, you just convince yourself, you're not. You convince yourself you have to be structured
Starting point is 00:16:56 and you have to do things a certain way. Like, so like when I was in school, I was very like structured around my bedtime. So like I knew I couldn't do things if I had school the next day. Like I couldn't stay out late, I couldn't do XYZ. Like I just had to be very proper to make sure, like I was good to go to school the next day. And that never left me.
Starting point is 00:17:15 Like other people go out and get fucked up on a Sunday and they're hungover on Monday. I've never been fucked up on a Sunday, like at night. Because I know I have like worker school the next day. Like what? Like I'm not gonna do that shit. You I know I have like worker school the next day. Like what? Like I'm not gonna do that shit. You know what I mean? Like I just, I had that around myself for so long
Starting point is 00:17:30 and I was so shocked when people didn't have like boundaries basically set up for theirself. Like they were just free and they felt free to do whatever they want whenever they wanted. And like they didn't care that they had worker school the next day. Like they wanted to go get fucked up and have fun. But like me, on Sunday night, if I have a call in the morning like if I have a fucking a coaching call in the morning on Monday morning
Starting point is 00:17:51 I don't do shit Sunday night like I'm done I'm in the house and I'm ready to like go to bed at 8 p.m. Like I don't go to bed at 8 p.m But my point is like I'm not out doing anything like my day ends and I'm ready to like Schedule the next day. you know what I mean? Like I just locked myself into that because I had done it so long from like being in school and then I did it in nursing school and I did it when I was nursing.
Starting point is 00:18:13 I wanna make sure I'm able to function the next day. So I make sure like I don't do anything but that kinda like fucks me because when I have coaching calls in the middle of the week, it's like I feel so anxious for the next day. I'm like, oh my God, like I need to go to bed. I need to like have everything ready. It's like, girl, it's 7 p.m. you're fine, you know?
Starting point is 00:18:32 But that was my whole point. You put like these restraints on yourself, or at least I do, and I have for so long. I'm like, you have to do this, you have to do that. And it's like, actually you don't. I don't actually have to, like I'm choosing to because I want to be like energized and well rested for my calls the next day. So I behave accordingly so I can ensure that's going to happen. But like that's just me in my own head. Like that's what I'm doing to myself and I'm choosing to do it. I don't have to do that.
Starting point is 00:19:01 But that was a really big realization. I went to the gas station the other night, and there was these guys sitting on the curb, and they had a little speaker, and they were just playing music, and they were just sitting there chilling on a Thursday night, just playing music at the gas station at midnight, and they were just fucking chilling and relaxing
Starting point is 00:19:19 and just enjoying life, and that I fucking love. I wish I could do that, but my brain would not let me. Like I have so much I need to do to get like moved in and there's so much I want to do for like my businesses and my coaching site and my social media like I want to change everything. I want to amp it up and like put a lot of energy into it and I don't let myself like rest and like kind of chill or take it easy because I want To make these fucking changes like it won't get out of my head
Starting point is 00:19:49 Because I need to like up this shit so I can make an income to like consistently pay my bills because right now I'm just like fingers crossed praying This shit works out, but like I know it's in my control I'm gonna do it it takes to make it work out, but like just looking at the guys on the road like they were homeless guys And they were just chilling with their little speaker and like they don't have a job to get to in the morning Like they're truly free like they're just chilling at the fucking gas station and join the music and just enjoying themselves They weren't the annoying almost people that like come up and ask to you They literally were just sitting there enjoying their their fucking self, having a good time.
Starting point is 00:20:25 And I admired their ability to do that so much. And I was just like, wow, like that's another thing that triggered this realization was like, they don't have to do anything tomorrow. Like they don't have to go to work, they don't have to do anything they don't wanna do. They have nothing they have to go to. They have nothing scheduled.
Starting point is 00:20:43 And they're fully free. Like their day is literally whatever they want it to be, you know? Like, I know they have certain restraints. I get it. I understand that there's like certain things you can't do with your homeless, but there's certain things you don't have to do. Does that make sense? There's certain things. There's certain stresses you don't have if you're homeless. You don't have to go work a job to pay bills. You don't have to do a lot of things. Like, that pressure has gone off them. And I just admired them for a second because I was like, that's fucking nice. Like them just getting to fully relax and just be,
Starting point is 00:21:17 oh, that's a skill I need to build. That's a skill I need to work on. But like I can't do it when there's so much I want to achieve because I have this weird sense of like, Leo, what if you die and you don't get to like offer as much value to the world as you wanted to before you die. So I'm not letting myself sit down until I've got myself somewhat stable and I think that's fair. But yeah, that was my realization around that. So my last one. And this one's kind of fucking weird.
Starting point is 00:21:49 So hang with me. I'm gonna do my best to explain it. The unknown is good. So everybody's so scared of the unknown and everybody's so fearful about the unknown. But it's like, no one's really scared of the unknown. You're scared of what you project into it. And I get that. You're scared of what you project into it. And I get that, you're scared of what you think is in the dark.
Starting point is 00:22:08 You're not actually scared of the dark. You're scared of what you think could possibly be in there. You're scared of a little monster that you're thinking is like in the corner looking at you, ah, someone's about to touch you, ah, it's like what you think is in the dark is why you're scared of the dark. So what you think is in the unknown
Starting point is 00:22:21 is why you're scared of the unknown. The unknown is not actually bad. It's just uncertainty. Humans don't do all that, and I know that. But my version of the unknown is good. If I knew what it was gonna take to get me to where I am now, if someone had laid it out in front of me, I would have been like, fuck no, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:22:46 Fuck that shit. You know, like when you don't know what you're about to face before you start walking down a path, it's better. Because if you knew what was going to happen, you probably wouldn't walk down it anyway. Like for me to move out, if I knew it was going to be this much of a fucking headache, I don't think I would have stopped, but I definitely think I would have hesitated and I would have been a lot less optimistic Because I would have been like okay, this shit is just gonna go wrong Consistently and I'm gonna freak the fuck out mentally for a bit
Starting point is 00:23:16 And it's gonna be a big fucking adjustment Like I if I knew that was all gonna happen every little fucking micro was just going to fuck up and every little thing that could go wrong was gonna in fact go wrong I would have definitely hesitated and I would have definitely looked at the situation as I could drag instead of like oh my god I'm excited because I just didn't know what was coming you know Same thing with my app Like if I knew I can 100% say this if I knew What I was going to go through with starting my app positive focus, I would not have started it.
Starting point is 00:23:49 I absolutely would not have started it because it's still one of my biggest disappointments. Like I put 20 fucking grand into that goddamn thing and it's not even bringing in like four or five hundred bucks a month, but it's like not even that. It's not even that it's not even bringing in shit. It's like the amount of headache I've gone through and the things that I've like had to deal with with it. It's not even like, oh you learned so much Leo. It's like I just look at like it's fucking headache because I'm good at seeing situations like, oh I learned this from it. I can take this away. But with my app, I can take this away. But with my app, it's just been fucking little inconveniences and little headaches out the ass. And it's just been disappointment after disappointment. And I'm just so like, God damn, there was a lot of realizations grateful for but I could fucking learn that shit somewhere goddamn else
Starting point is 00:24:45 I didn't need to fucking go through what I went through with that like I still I'm in the phase where I'm like I'm just so hopeless around it, you know like I'm just like All right, I guess I'm gonna try advertising again I guess I'm gonna try talking about it more, but I'm just like fuck like I'm just so beat up and exhausted with that one That if I could go back that's one thing that I would say like, if I could tell what was gonna happen, I wouldn't have done it because I started it in a place where I felt so hopeless and I felt like I needed something to save me
Starting point is 00:25:14 and I thought it was gonna save me and it didn't. So that's what I mean by disappointment after disappointment. Like it's that app, like, whoa, like I can't. But now that I have done it, I'm happy, I'm kind of happy that I have done it because I know what's gonna go in the future. But I'm saying, given where I was at the time and what I was hoping for, I wouldn't have done it.
Starting point is 00:25:35 But now that I've done it, and I am where I am now, I'm like, okay, I'm kind of happy I did it. But now let's see what happens going forward with it. Like I'm still a little hopeful. I'm gonna be honest, like there's a tiny sliver of like hope that it could like turn into something, but I don't think it will be quick. I don't think it will be like fast.
Starting point is 00:25:53 And that's kind of like where I mean, I don't think I would have done it. And that's just what I'm having to live with. But does that make sense? Like if you could have like a play by play of what was about to happen for whatever experience you were about to like embark on, would you still do it? And that's why I'm like, no, like if I knew what I was going to have to go through with so many things, I don't think I would have done them.
Starting point is 00:26:20 Like if I knew what was actually going to happen, I think it would have stopped me. I think I would have been like, nah, I could think of a better way and then tried something different. But this is the road I meant to go down. So I'm my new appreciation for the unknown. It's like, thank God. Thank fucking God there's the unknown because a lot of shit would have stopped me and I would not have made it as far as I have.
Starting point is 00:26:42 And I would not have done as many things as I have done had I known the disappointment that was gonna fucking come from them, you know, like I learned a lot sure, but I'm glad there's uncertainty now because it makes me a lot more willing to do the shit that it takes to make something succeed, like with social media if I knew it was gonna be so much of a fucking headache, like God damn, like I don't think I would have been ready for it, but if I would have been looking at the big picture of like, these are all the things that are gonna happen, and this is where you're gonna be for the next year and a half,
Starting point is 00:27:14 I would have been like, God damn, but the fact that I just blindly went into it, which I had to, there is no certainty, I just blindly had to go into it, and I just faced each problem as they came up in front of me. I was able to keep going. That's really it because I didn't see the big picture. I didn't see that the little inconveniences were going to keep going. So every time I faced one, I just like face it and kept moving, face it and kept moving. I wasn't in the back of my head like, oh, you're going to do all this for the next year
Starting point is 00:27:44 and a half and you're only gonna get this far. You know, like that's my thing. I would be discouraged if I had to see everything I was gonna face at the beginning. So that's my big realization around that. And why I no longer want like predictability and certainty, I do it some extent. Like I do wanna be able to predict certain things,
Starting point is 00:28:03 like good things. I wanna be able to predict certain outcomes, like good things. I want to be able to predict certain outcomes. But I don't want to know about everything that's going to happen on the way there because I've just faced it when it happens instead of know it all to begin with because grab it. I can not do it. I would avoid that shit like the play. So yes, those are my realizations friends so far.
Starting point is 00:28:22 There's been a couple more, but I just don't feel like getting into it. I'm really just like, what the fuck, ever?
