And the first thing out of her mom's mouth is how are you gonna pay for it?

and the girl and i really related because if you didn't have this russian upbringing you watched it you would think her reaction was completely insane she just lost it just screaming she's like people pay for law school all the time i'll figure out a way why is your first reaction to look for a problem why is your first response to be like oh what are you sure you've thought this through i have been struggling with one problem for years what i wanted to do for a living

And now, like, as soon as I solve this one big problem of identity, your first reaction is like, let's find a new problem.

Why is that your... Instead of, let's figure out how we're going to pay for it.

And that kind of approach is so...

deadly and it gnaws at you.

And I always, I don't like giving people advice because who the hell am I?

And also if I don't know the context of the problem, I'm not informed enough to give advice.

But this is piece of advice that I do for comfort giving.

If you are someone who has around you, people who as soon as you have any accomplishment or any hope that their first reaction is to be like, well, what about this?

you have to get rid of them or sit them down, maybe give them a chance because that is something that is so demoralizing and it drains you.

And it's like,

You know, the example I've used all the time, all the time, all the time.

I say, if you want to be an author, right?

You can go to any bookstore and look at all the shitty, shitty books, like The White Pill.

And you could say to yourself, I could be this shitty author.

You don't have to be Hemingway.

So people should buy your book just to know that it doesn't take much.

It was pretty, yeah.

But I mean, like for you, right?
