And so this is kind of my time that I end up just sharing with others.

But the daily dribble of like, well, I got to make a post is just exhausting.

You know, it's like, oh, I got to have a team that posts this stuff.

It's like, it's just...

And I think everybody's a little tired of the polished world that is being projected through that.

And they're craving just normalcy, I think.

Well, it's funny you say that about not knowing what the other person does, but I think one of the best pieces of advice I've seen,

oddly enough i did get it from a post somewhere where it was a former cia profiler and he was like listen you know if you want to get to the root of every person that you meet in the conversation ask yourself one question while you're having your first three minutes of interaction which is what is it that this person wants me to see of them about them what is it that they want me to see

And if you can get past like, okay, whatever it is they're trying to project, I'm just not even gonna go there.

I'm gonna deflect that and try to find something else.

You can get to the meat of it with people very quickly.

And I love that advice.

Something you said earlier I thought was interesting

Um, cause obviously, you know, we talk about addiction, we talk about those things, but you threw out that the brain could be, the brain could be rewired or reprogrammed to solve things like depression is what you could say.

So I, you said that and I wanted to get to it later.

So let's get to it now.

So, um,

I am a person that I would say, you know, I've been pretty forthright with it.

I suffer or I think I suffer from something that I would call seasonal depression, which, you know, certain times of the year for no reason, I just, my wife calls it the funk, right?

Where you're just like, oh man, I just feel a little down in those times.
