I show a lot of my life, less so as I've gotten older, but I still do that.
It's complicated.
It's more complicated as the career progresses.
And I... Yeah, more things... It gets more complicated.
But also, too, I'm my own boss.
So, like, I mean, there's definitely deadlines that I have and contracts that I'm in.
It's not like I'm completely my own boss all the way, but...
I can choose what hours I work and things like that.
And so that means I can work all the time.
And I'm somebody who's like a perfectionist and a freak.
And so sometimes I will push myself to work all the time.
And that leads to terrible work-life balance and misery.
And so I think in this particular career, detachment is very necessary.
And it's been an ongoing journey as to how to master it.
Because...
I think in every single, like every single facet of this career, I think benefits from a level of detachment.
And so I've been sort of working on that for the last eight years or however long I've been doing that.
Detachment from number one, the outcome, accepting the fact that this could go away tomorrow and that's okay.
And that's just something I have to accept, you know, like this might not last in the same way that other careers do, right?
That's one, one thing.
