And the part that I love about what you said and the knowing, the affirmation on the illuminating serum is I give myself permission to glow.

Or to your point about the addiction to the negative, like if we are feeling good, how many times have you felt good, but your friend wasn't feeling so good? So you kind of, they might say, well, how are you feeling? I'm all right, but you're really actually great. And you're actually glowing.
