Maybe that's the true story.

More often, that is the true story.

But the story that we've carried forward and made into a myth is the false story.

And you might say, well, why would we do that?

You know, do our brains secretly not like us, right?

Do our unconscious minds like really want us to be miserable?

And no, the story is around creating safety because, you know, a child doesn't have the ability to think, well, what's really going on here, right?

They don't have the brain capacity we do as adults.

So the child will often look at just the most obvious answer in front of them.

Like, I don't have any friends.

I'm not good enough and no one likes me, right?

It's just the reflex of what's right in front of

of the person.

And that it's a narrative we bring forward that we can go look at and challenge and say, you know what?

I want the truth of what actually happened then.

What have I carried forward with me?

What myth have I created?

What really happened then?

What I want is truth.

And we're always after truth.
