And I remember just the first thing that popped to my head is I thought, I believe in love.

I believe in love.

And I was raised – it was kind of interesting.

I was raised kind of Mormon because my grandparents were Mormon.

And so I'd go to church with them every other Sunday.

But I wasn't really raised in a Mormon household.

But I knew a bit of that religion.

But I also knew that my friends had different religions.

And I never –

I never felt religious, but I always felt spiritual.

And, and it's just interesting in that moment when I was asked, what is it you believe in?

Like,

I believe in love.

You know, I think love is the creator of everything and, and what it boils down to in the end.

And so I thought of that.

And then all of a sudden, so my heart was like beating out of my chest and I could feel it.

I could feel it fluttering in my chest.

And I thought I was actually in open heart surgery because I remember feeling the doctor with no pain, but I remember the pressure, um,

Feeling him cut me open from my sojournum down to my belly button.

But there was no pain.
