It still doesn't mean I don't want to accomplish goals and all these things and, you know, succeed in my own right, but...

it letting go of the expectation of it needing to look a certain way has been extremely helpful for me still loving myself, even with the success.

And I think it's hard to do though, because the bit you get, people expect it, you expect it.

It's the expectation.

That part, people expect it.

And they'll look at you differently.

Oh, why didn't it get New York Times this time?

Or why didn't it do a million copies this time if it did half a million last time?

Or that video got five million views, why did this one get a million?

The first post, two years ago?

It was June 1st, 2020.

June 1st, 2020.

If you could go back,

the day before June 1st, and have a conversation with yourself from where you are now to that day.

And you're about to go in and do this thing, or maybe it's the morning of, and you're about to put this video out that you've been thinking about and you wrote the script to, or you didn't write the script, I think it was all off the cuff.

But you've been organizing in your mind for a period of time and sit down.

If you were gonna literally stand face to face and have a conversation with yourself almost two years prior, what would you say?

before you jumped in and did this video?

With everything you know now, what would you say?

What did you need to prepare yourself?
