I think the older you get, the more you realize that, oh wow, I can traverse unbelievable challenges and controversies.
And you realize that you don't die on the other side of it.
The worst part of youth is not knowing what's going to happen when the shit hits the fan.
When the shit hits the fan and you get older, you realize, oh, you just clean the fan or buy another one for fuck's sake.

It's coming from a place of I don't fucking have to be.

You must still be on a journey of that.
That makes complete sense.
I was a little older than you when I was dragged into the global pylon for daring to have a fucking opinion.
But it is really destabilizing.
It's a choice you make.
It's a choice you make that you then work on every single day.

to fawn and to falter and to people please.
