I didn't know the meaning of fear until I had kids.

I think most of the reasons that people struggle in life is because they're not taught how to live it.

We've got a good thing going, right?

We're in love, it's good, we've got a couple kids, but there's a huge difference between everything that you just said and this, which is all of those things, me and you, against that thing out there.

So I'll start by saying this.

You know, people say when you have kids, you don't know the meaning of love until you have kids.

I think what they don't advertise, I didn't know the meaning of fear until I had kids.

Yeah.

I still remember there was one time that my kid was jumping on a trampoline and she fell off.

She had a trajectory where she was going to be off of the trampoline.

And in that moment where she cleared the edge of the trampoline and was plummeting towards the ground, I felt a degree of fear that I had never felt in my life.

I don't think I'm very...

scared about a particular thing.

I mean, I think, you know, our, our children have their own path in life.

Um, you know, I, I, I do feel, so I have two daughters, so I, I think there's a lot of concern about who they decide to be with.

Sure.

Right.

But I, I think it's also like all that stuff is, see, a lot of fear is about what we haven't experienced yet.

Right.

And so I'm not scared about a particular thing, like I guess maybe dating in general.
