You know, when I look at your work overall, I sort of see how, in America, especially right now, there's, like, a deep polarization.
There's, like, a dehumanization of people, whether it's immigrants, trans people.
You know, you just see a lot of...
of, like, breaking of connection and everything.
And there's less community than there should be, and there's less connection than there should be.
And so when I look at everything that you do, I just see a lot of that, which is, admittedly, not a question.
That's more of a compliment.
That's just, I should have ended it with the question mark.
But that's just how I feel about you, you know?
Because I think you're doing two things that are incredibly difficult, and I don't even know which one is more difficult than the other.
Because being with people in these very, very vulnerable moments has got to be hard.
It's got to take a toll on you.
But also, when you ask someone a question, when you are learning something about someone, that's also very difficult.
Because you might not like what you learn.
Especially, you're with people who
are not in, they're not in a time where you show your best anyway, you know?
And so I can't imagine how you,
whether it's decompress or how you recover from that thing.
Like you talk about burnout with content creation or nursing, but it's like, is there ever something that's like so genuinely heavy for you that you don't know where to put it?
Yeah, that's another great question, Josh.
