And I remember I was like, ooh.

This feels good.

And then and then so I applied to grad school there.

And then all of a sudden it was like I got a huge foundation of like what I could do, you know, that your insecurities are actually your attributes, your fears or stuff that, you know, all this thing that you're a sensitive kid.

She got sick.

Yeah, it's crazy.

Yeah, in Venice, California.

She was sick, so we put her hospice there.

But she was incredible.

And she did this basic technique class.

And it was the first time ever.

You know, I loved my dad, but I grew up in, you know, the 80s in northeast Philadelphia with an Irish-Italian upbringing that wasn't part of the deal.
