Um, and you know, the thing I didn't, the reason I chose to chase this stream is because I wanted to avoid the deathbed regret of, of wanting to know the answer to the question, what would happen if I gave it my all? Now I haven't given it my all yet and I'm going to keep giving it my all, but I've given it everything I've had up to this point to about 98 and a half percent.
