But it was kind of the same way if you leave Photoshop on your computer and it just slows everything else down. It was like this program was running in the back of my brain. I'm just always looking around being like, oh wow, she's really cute. I wonder if she'd like me. It was just this pattern in the back of my head that went nonstop.

As soon as I got engaged, it was like closing that piece of software. And suddenly like 20% of my brain's bandwidth was freed to think about more important things.

But I found the actual psychological experience was that it was completely liberating because I never had to worry about all of these things I used to worry about all the time. And just the comfort and the ease that comes with that, I think can't be overstated. And then on top of that, the trust that you build with somebody over a long period of time, the stability that you build with them,

you can't put a value on it. It's incredibly powerful and energizing knowing that no matter what happens in my business, no matter what happens in my personal life, there's always somebody that I care about who's got my back, who's always going to be supportive, who can always give me advice, who can always tell me if I'm bullshitting myself or screwing up. It's priceless.

I definitely think getting off the apps, if you can, is useful. I think the apps unintentionally filter for the wrong things. Unfortunately, I was single before the apps.
