Like this is the feeling of the cool water.
It was like that.
It was like, like a baby cries, someone dies.
I'm here like in this moment.
You know, and so, yeah, and I still can access that somewhat.
And then I also am like, you know, where are the pencils for seventh grade?
So like, but anyway, it was, it was like beautiful and amazing and really good that we did it.
And just, yeah, it, it worked out.
Taught me a lot.
The heaviest lift for me, actually, I think in terms of training my brain and heart to hold a million things, actually was in medical school.
I was like, I cannot believe I'm using every fiber of my being to figure out intellectually and emotionally how to take care of sick people and attend to every layer of what's happening in this room and then make 10,000 decisions about how to make it all happen.
So that was really hard.
I also went through an episode of depression in residency.
It was incredibly painful.
I wasn't like hospitalized, but I took two weeks off work and I felt like, I just felt like I didn't exist.
I mean, it was depression.
It's like depression, like Andrew Sullivan says about depression, like depression is not the opposite of happiness.
It's the opposite of vitality.
It's like so interesting.
That was really hard.
