Because I think that- Just met different kinds of people.

Just because you were exposed to different kinds of people who thought differently, who truly did.

I mean, like in the nature of,

the business, the life today with social media and everything.

I don't know if you gave me that same scenario today, I'm not sure that my heart would be as open and I would be as open to new experiences and new people.

Because one of the negative things about being

at this place in my life is that I don't meet a lot of new people.

And I don't like that.

I don't let myself, I'm not as open as I was going to the Virgin Islands in the way I'm talking about now.

And I wish I was.

Yes.

If you meet someone like in Hawaii or whatever,

there's something about a level of acceptance.

And you feel closer to them than you would if you met them anywhere else.

Because I was so on fire.

When I went down there, I mean, before I made the No Shoes album, when my life really changed, I was so curious as a human.

And I was on fire with creativity.

And I knew my life was changing.

I just didn't know where it was going to take me.
