So in your 20s, you're figuring out your life, and you're just working your ass off. You don't know really what's happening. And in your 30s, you're kind of a little more clear.

And I have a plan that I can follow. So that was part one. And part two is I didn't really like how I was living. I was engaged. And it Didn't work out. Really? Yeah.

Yeah.

Or are you getting what you want? And what was the answer? I'm not getting what I want. And that's hard, right?

And we don't want to accept it. Everyone has courage.
