And I tried to write about the decision and you can see it's a very iterative thing. And that's because I think that's reality.

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. Yeah, of the service. If you're one of those idealistic young people who wants to change the world, what better place than politics? It's incredible what you can do with it.

And I still believe in it now more so than even when I went in. But the day-to-day of it is difficult because that's what you have to do in spite of why you're motivated to be there. And I know I'm not alone in that. There are people who love the sport. And there are people who just love what you can do.

You know, you're supermarket shopping and you're from time to time a drop off for Neve. I could still do that from time to time. But you're right, the pace, the pace of life suddenly turns off like a tap.
