None of my family really did anything big, right?
I don't want to say we were like...
like I always had Christmas presents, right?
But I didn't come from money either, right?
There wasn't like extra money for vacations and extra money for nice dinners.
The things that you and I now as adults were able to provide, I didn't have.
And I think it was that drive, that chip on the shoulder
I just knew there was more.
I was like, dude, this isn't it.
Like, you know, coming home in the middle of the day at school and your mom's passed out drunk on the kitchen floor at 2 p.m., like, this isn't it.
There's more.
And so it just kept driving me.
And the chip on my shoulder created this, like –
It started with I wanted to be loved as a kid.
I want to be seen.
I was never seen as a kid.
Again, this is not a woe is me.
I know everyone has a story.
It's just that's where I came from through a lot of therapy, I realize this.
And so it was like, okay, I want to be seen.
