I think that I don't want to say impulsive because I had so much time, but I feel like in the moment I was like, OK, like I need to do it.

And there's a scene in the in my episode that's like I'm sitting there with the counselor from the adoption agency that we were going to go through.

And she's kind of just like talking me through like both sides.

And I was like, okay, well, like, I guess I need to do it.

Like there was pressure about like college and, you know, all these things of like, what are my next steps going to be?

I'm 18.

I just turned 18.

Like, what am I going to do with my life?

Which looking back, it's like, you're going to figure it out.

Like it's going to be okay.

But I was like, oh my gosh, it's the end of the world.

Like, what do I do?

Um, and then of course my mom, she wasn't married.

Uh, she had just like divorced from my dad like a few years ago, but she never got remarried up until like, you know, when I was older, but, um, yeah, so she had to work a lot.

So it's like, uh, and like a lot of people like to like blame her I've noticed, but it's like, I know, like she had to work like, otherwise like we wouldn't

have a place to live, you know, she was a single mom.

Yeah.

Yeah, exactly.

So, um, yeah.

So I was, that was another thing.
