And I think, you know, even in the fog of grief, my mind is clear enough to say, I know what I need to do. I still got to do the hardest things first.
I still need to believe that I'm possible. I still need to believe that our best days are still ahead. When at first somebody told me that I was like, that's impossible. My best days are behind me.
But there are still the best days of Lauren still ahead. And it took me a while to figure that out and accept that and be okay with that and embrace that. That doesn't mean I don't miss Jer every moment of my day, don't wish he wasn't with me. But in order to succeed... I have to show people it's possible and I'm rebuilding me again.
And I think that when you're doing that with people and you're very vulnerable and very transparent about the process of where I've been and where I'm going and how painful it's been and that we can recover if we're transparent, life can change for you in a positive way. And I'm learning that now.
Exactly. People get so comfortable being uncomfortable. It's like, are you kidding me? Do you not realize that in order to get uncomfortable, you've got to step one foot out of the box that you're in. That's all you have to do. They think it's monumental. So they don't want to do it rather than like, like sitting in front of the TV is comfortable and doing nothing and not changing.
But what they don't realize is they're actually uncomfortable. They're living a life of discomfort. They're not able to make ends meet. They're struggling to pay the bills. They're not happy. They don't work on their marriage at home. Jared and I had a really happy life because we constantly worked at being good partners. We had a good marriage. We had good communication.
Jared used to say, what do we do every six months? We analyzed our marriage.
What do you like about me and what don't you like about me? So I can fix that. Because I love you enough to want to make sure that I make a tweak.
We've got a list over there. We're going to look at her. Look at that face.
I said to her earlier.
I told her earlier she deserved the big trophy, and you said, here I am. And so, you know, the funny thing is, is that people don't realize that when you're at home, being in a happy environment is really important.
And I know your story. And when you walk in this house, it's a happy home.
And that's the difference. That can change your health, too.
no doubt that changes your mindset yes and so some days i just ask for lauren time right you know without everybody coming over i just say you know guys i gotta have some me time i'm figuring me out you know some days i have good days i have bad days but one thing for sure is like i'm making sure who i put in my circle and of course you and sage are in my circle
You can come on our place at any time or I can go to your place at any time. You absolutely want to be at that table.
And everybody at that table wants to lift you up and elevate you. Say anything you're doing is possible. You can be or do anything you want to do. Most people don't understand that if you've been cut out of my life, you gave me the scissors.
You gave me the scissors. You're the one. You're the one who cut you out of my life because I just have a certain way I'm going to live. And I only want to live with people who believe in what I'm doing and where I'm going. You don't have to do what I'm doing, but I need you to be a cheerleader of what I'm doing. I need you to support what I'm doing.
I need you to believe in me so I can believe in myself also. I don't want to have anybody around me say, don't try that.
Don't go for that. Oh, my God, Gary, don't you know? You cannot be transparent and honest without expecting controversy.
People are so afraid to say their truth today. People are so afraid to have an honest conversation. They're like, oh, my God, here she goes.
