something that I'm not.

And I've kind of settled into being myself.

And a lot of that comes with age.

You know, as you get older, you get closer to yourself.

And I have this sort of relationship with myself and this conversation that goes on in my head.

And with a bit more experience and confidence, I've learned just to just be me.

And I'm all right with that.

It's both.

And it really is because in the beginning, when I was leading by instinct, I think that a lot of people around me thought I was crazy.

And for a little while, so did I.

I really thought I'd overextended myself.

And there was just this little voice in the back of my head that said, just keep going, keep going, keep going.

And sometimes you've got to get past the criticism and past all the mistakes and do a bunch of not so good things to get to the place.

But I'm not scared of the mistakes.

And I think that that is the big difference.

Like I almost...

I look for them.

I look for like where it's hard, where it's difficult, where am I scared?

And then I push up against that because I know that's where all the good stuff is coming.

I would love to tell you that it's mine.
