And then just like watching him blossom throughout the past year has been really cool.

I mean, I, I have always felt very lucky.

Like my dad and I are very close.

Um, and I've always felt very lucky for my parents and for just my relationship with them and my family.

Um, and,

But I think after last fall, seeing how many people were like, I lost my parents to Fox News or watching you and your dad or you and your family like connect, like makes me feel hopeful about the family I can have.

I really realized how lucky I was and what like a privilege it was.

And I still get people commenting, like seeing you and your dad's relationship, like makes me feel better about the world.

And I do not take that lightly.

Like, I think, you know, I have a responsibility to use my platform for good, but also to like show the normal moments so people can see themselves and find hope in that.

And like, I think that is a really cool thing.

Yeah.

I, so this is, I'm, I'm stealing a saying from my dad.

He goes, never say no to a job you haven't been offered yet.

Um, because initially I'm like, fuck no, absolutely not.

Why, why would I ever do that?

But I think, um,

if my life takes me to a place where I think I'd be the best person for a certain position or job, like I would potentially do it.

Um, I'm very much figuring out kind of how I want to use my platform still.

And I kind of like the flexibility and power I hold in having my own platform and the voice I can have with that and not really being, you know, held back or constrained by anything.
