talking to you for different reasons, not because they genuinely care about you or love you.

Or maybe they want something or they're, and then.

Yeah, and that became scarier for me because I'm very like open and giving and generous.

And you got to a point where I started to question some of the people, things in my life that were happening and why they were happening.

So then that kind of scared me a little bit.

And that trust of just wanting to trust everyone.

Became, I actually hated that feeling.

But knowing that I'm not going to let it change me.

That yeah, I'm going to, that I ended up, that I had some things happen that were hurtful or things that happened.

But if I allowed that person or that event to change my heart, to change who I am, then they won.

So I'm not going to let them win.

I'm still going to be the person I'm going to be.

Am I cautious?

Yeah.

Am I a little more thoughtful about things I do?

Of course I am.

But at the end of the day, I'm still going to be the person I am.

And that is a person that looks for the good in somebody first.

You know, I'm doing things that I haven't done before.

So writing a book and starting a school.
