I think my editor always tells me, like, Ader, you know, the chaos will be there tomorrow, right? Whatever chaos that is, right? Haiti will be there tomorrow. She's like, let's take a breath. Because my instinct, right, as a journalist is... is let's go. I grew up in Miami and the first house we stayed at, it was like a corner house and like a big intersection. Right.
