Now, I think in America, it's generally capitalism, right? Like money, really, just money. And I know personally that my biggest battle here is my religion as my orientation point and money as my orientation point. These are both centers of orbit. And if you're orbiting one, you're not orbiting the other, period. They're mutually exclusive. So that was the struggle before Kitsch.

That's like the thinking. Kids come and they are there. Everything is oriented around them. It is a shocking reorientation. Now, when I say orientation, what I mean is not only like how you spend your time, it's how you think. It's how you classify your world from the way that you use language. I don't refer to my stomach anymore. It's my tummy. When I'm in a bad mood, I'm feeling fussy.

Where I go and what I do, is it kid-friendly? So what I'm saying is it just changes everything about how you think and feel. Now, what that means is I have a third... A third center that I'm trying to negotiate now. I'm trying to pull myself away from worrying about money without sacrificing the financial security of my family.

I'm trying to maintain religion as my center without sacrificing caring for and doing everything I need to do to provide the best life for my kids. Yeah. which is an insane place to be. I think it gets better as the kid gets older, right? Because it's not so all-consuming. But I will say it has been, in some ways, the diaries made me realize this.
