I'm probably like close to being blackout wasted at this point.

And I, but I remember what they said and it didn't change the situation.

It didn't change really anything at the time, but I put a marker in it, in my heart that said, maybe.

And that maybe moment really helped shift the trajectory of my life.

I soon later thought, maybe I can get out of this relationship.

I had dropped out of school, and I thought, maybe I can go back to school.

I'm a three-time dropout.

And then I started to think maybe there is purpose to my life.

Maybe there's purpose to the pain I felt.

Maybe I can follow a dream.

Maybe I can't.

You know, and the maybes started to put...

where those hope blocks were, it started to break them.

And my thought processes started to get in a different trajectory of maybe what's possible, how to believe again.

And it started changing my mindset because when we practice habits of hope daily, it's like we're giving ourselves the opportunity to say, maybe we can heal.

Maybe things are possible, even in spite of what we're up against.

Yes.

And that is our human nature to isolate even when we feel alone.

And we're like, we like to isolate when we have struggles.

And there's three actual main reasons why we do this, why we kind of struggle and keep it in that vacuum, keep it to ourselves.
