Yeah.

Right.

That's like just what we kind of have to do sometimes to survive and go forward.

And that makes me think about what we've just been talking about in terms of childhood memories.

I think about my mom, you know, losing her mom when she was a kid.

what she had to cut off and, you know, figure out how to, so she could survive and go forward.

Or the things, you know, me having to forget about, you know, whatever, you know, humiliating moment playing the violin, you know, as a kid.

All those things that we do suppress and those like, you know, little moments that you just kind of go through life and you have to figure out how to

assimilate them or suppress them.

And then years and years later, they can still be there.

And I think that's part of what the show is about is that there's a question like, does love transcend severance?

Or, you know, does emotion transcend severance?

I think it's impossible not to have, you know, when you have these feelings and experiences and trauma and all those things inside of you, you know, you can just suppress them for so long, but they're going to come out in some way.

And I think

That idea is really a big part of what the show is about, too.

Yeah, I mean, it's been a busy time.

For me, I know the places that I feel comfortable and relaxed and, you know, like the kind of safe haven.

And that to me has become going home and being able to like turn it off and figure out how to do that finally.

I think I've figured that out at least to a certain extent.

that I can get home and really enjoy being with my family.
