You need the purse to fit all the things, but then like, well, sometimes I need a little bit extra.

So should I just get the bigger purse that I can fit it when I'm carrying my laptop and my water bottle all at once?

But then am I just going to make that the new norm of capacity, right?

So now I just have 10 pounds I carry.

It helps in the sense of, like, it frees up.

It allows you to actually do things.

Like, I feel like when we are so angry and mean to ourselves, we get really paralyzed.

Right?

So that, like, perfectionism of, like, I'm never going to be exactly what I need to be because I'm so messed up is, like, then I'm not going to try.

Right?

So, like, I mean, tongue in cheek.

I wasn't.

And I don't think you can start there.

Because that's an incredibly challenging life journey is to learn to love yourself and to keep loving yourself.

And the fact that I do love myself is why I have learned to be free enough to say, is it weird to say that I missed you?

Like if I really thought it was that weird and I really hated myself for having that thought, like maybe I wouldn't have said it out loud.

And you said you missed me too.

So, you know.

bonus reward for being a little weird.

Um, but how do you actually, yeah.
