It's so true because, you know, I have anxiety.

I think a lot of people struggle with that.

And that if you're in a situation often, you know, I'm really the queen of hearing what I want to hear and not what somebody said.

And so I really try to just take out all of, you know, what I want to have happen in the interaction and just try to say what is actually happening so that when I think about it later, I have the facts and not my and I'm not basing it on some fantasy.

that I wish the words had been spoken.

Yes, Heraclitus, that's a quote.

Yeah, that, oh God, I think that just says it all.

I think that if you really intend to be a good person and to be wise and to be modest and to do your work and to keep your head down, then good things will happen to you.

Then I think fate will take care of you.

Mm-mm.

Isn't it beautiful?

He said that?

Oh, I'm going to cry.

He said that about nature.

Yes.

Yes.

My thanksgiving is perpetual.

Right, right.

And I just, I love that.

And that's what Adora thinks about.
