I love that you're saying that, too, because it goes back to what you said of like I was sitting in that class and I knew I wasn't supposed to be there, but I had to be there.

It's interesting to hear you say like it's so crazy to me that six years after I graduate college, I'm winning a Grammy for Your Body is a Wonderland.

You were dating someone at the time that you're writing this iconic song.

I thought it was about a different.

And did your high school girlfriend know you wrote that about her?

To this day?

You can calm down.

Yeah.

I really appreciate you explaining it that way because I...

I now to have a different opinion, especially maybe in the music industry or, you know, actors and actresses, like the way that maybe people are being perceived online and the way they're acting probably is really not who they are.

It's they're trying to elevate, to get the attention, to get the approval.

And eventually as you see people in their careers and this is, you don't even have to be famous to have this.

You can be doing it at your job.

You can be doing it socially.

You're trying to make a name for yourself.

You're trying to have a presence.

And it probably feels inauthentic, but you want to be seen.

You want to be heard.

You want to feel accepted.

And that can lead to you feeling like, what am I even being myself right now?
