And I thought, look, we always, we still have something in common here.

We need to remember that.

You know, kind of when people are kind of forgetting who they are or, you know, the context in their operating, there's always something that can, you know, can pull you back again.

There's always that kind of thread.

One of the most amazing things that happened, you know, really on was my dad was a pretty incredible person and he would always open my eyes to something.

I was getting bullied really nastily by a girl at school.

And my dad started asking me questions about her.

And one day my dad said we were going to go for a walk.

And it's really, you know, kind of one of the most run-down places, an already run-down place.
