Like where we, a lot of us who are doing what we're doing,

There's also like a bit of resentment in what we're doing because it's almost like we lost a parent in the process of getting here because we had a parent who helped us get here.

But in return, they're not really like our parent anymore.

Right.

And I think you kind of mourn that.

So it's like, would I rather have...

It was like, would I rather become famous and a star and have this attention and potential to live comfortably with money and income and be praised for my work I'm doing in craft?

Or would I rather have my dad and just have him as a dad supportive?

And, and I, there was a lot of times where I, it was like, to me, it was like, I would rather not have any of this.

I would rather not have the attention.

I'd rather have a job where I'm struggling more.

If it meant that I could just have a dad like normal and who looked out for me and, and was proud of me.

And I didn't feel like my,

Yeah.

One of my friends like didn't talk, hasn't really talked to their dad for a decade.

Another one, it's like complicated.

And like, I didn't talk to my dad for like seven years.

And because you kind of have to like teach them to, I don't know.

I don't know why that's such a common thing for a lot of kids who started in the entertainment industry young.

I'm so glad that you didn't have to.
