They came because there's a need, but they know that you have it. So I send everyone to you and I say, he has it, go get it. It's an interesting lesson to learn. So I choose to do that.

So when it happens, I immerse myself in the feeling and then let the feeling pass through me. So what I used to do before, I would let the things get stored in me. I had this huge anxiety when I was growing up of what's going to happen to me after school. And it ruined most of my high school life.

And I look back and I have these gaps in my memory of what fun I could have had in high school had I not had that worry. If someone had a crystal ball to show me how my life would have turned out, I would have enjoyed every moment of that school. It was the best time I've ever had. But I was too concerned. You know, I was worried about what's going to happen.

Because in my world, people who did well were people who were educated, who were Who are successful, you know, who studied something and have gotten a job. So my chances were lower and lower and lower as I saw myself getting to grade 11. Because of the school you went to.

And then I knew that my chances of being successful. So when I was in a car park, I was like, I can be happy by proxy. I'm here. I'm looking at these fancy cars. I'm around them all day long and I get paid to be here. I love music. I listen to music and then I get paid to be here. I walk around the mall. I get paid to be here. I do comedy. I get paid to do this. I chose a path.

It was either do the worrying and die or do what I love and just live. But I chose that because it was my only option. I had to learn the lessons and remember them from my mom. So I just carried them through.

It's the exact same way. Because remember, if I lose a watch that I loved and I wore every day, right? Sentimental value as I remember the things that I did to get the watch. I remember the place that I wore the watch in. Those memories are with me. So the watch is with me because I never wore it to my sleep. I never wore it to a shower. So the watch is with me.

When my son passed away, I also realized in the three months I spent the most amount of time with him to even the day before he passed away. It was just the two of us for a few hours. The last picture I took was when we were just together. In a room. How old was he when he passed away? Three months. Damn.
