To be fair, like, you do know, for lack of a better term, I am mentally ill. Like, you know, like, she's like, no, you're not. Those other, like, no. I mean, I'm in, like, the dots. Like, I'm on the list. But having to be like, okay. And then I'd be like, hey, you know it's hereditary, right?

She's making more and more sense to me, like all of these like hyper fixations that pop up. It's going to do these things. And I was like, OK. The things that I think, I don't know, when I was a kid may have frustrated me a little bit. I'm like, why am I going to a wedding planners conference?
