Yeah, yeah. Thank you. I don't know. Actually, you know, it was therapy with a deadline. So it ended up helping in lots of ways. But writing about the act of leaving. You know, it was, it was a series of conversations. It was a series of thoughts and moments that culminated in the decision. And once I made the decision, then it just came, it was then just about telling people.

Yeah, I think when you're in politics, you're trained. You spend years being acutely aware of what everyone thinks. And it's part of your job. I didn't want to let people down. I didn't want to disappoint people. And so walking away, yeah, it felt like it was a lonely decision and it was a hard decision, but I've never regretted it and I've never felt like it was the wrong one.

That has always been my least favorite part. I mean, that sounds so silly. My least favorite part of politics is politics. You know, I was always attracted to it because of what you could do.
