And those are the times when I have to go like, Lily, stop. What are you doing? Take the time if you need it. Let's figure out where it's coming from.

okay, well, that is an anxious child and you were already questioning your identity. And I said, well, okay, I also had this recurring dream as a kid where imagine two Pac-Men, one's little and one's big and I'm the little and I'm going around the board and a big one is chasing me intensely trying to eat me. Or I was this small blip and there was a really big massive blip
