Two things can be true.
I felt like I was good at heart and yet, behaviorally speaking, a total piece of shit.
One of the things I resonated in the conversation with Claudia Rao was these kids, I include myself here, right?
Maybe not to the same degree as some of the people she was talking about.
They're coming with major, major problems.
Yeah, they're not the easy kids to deal with.
No, but to say it that way isn't giving it the truth.
When people sign up to do foster care, they're not signing up to like have their daily lives induced with constant nonstop stress for 10 years.
It's just very hard.
And so when I try to forgive my grandparents, it's in that light.
Now, I don't know if you related at all to this, but I also think at a very young age, as social primates, we are justice machines.
We look around and why did they get that and I didn't get this.
That is how the whole system functions.
You're monitoring who's getting what and my status entitles me to this.
And so I think even when you're young and you're looking around, like some kids have all this shit.
And I don't.
I think you feel deputized to get what's yours.
Yeah, so I was not blessed with that thing.
And I should say I was not cursed with that thing.
Cursed, yeah, yeah.
