Yeah. It was so... I didn't know... I was living in Amsterdam and I didn't know... I have my own subculture or whatever. And I discovered the Dutch people as they are from eBay. So I sold everything.

So back then I was making music and we would make music videos with a Canon 5D camera. Back then everybody was making films and music videos. And we bought it with my friends and stuff. And... It was kind of like, I had to sell this thing too, because it was like, it was very expensive, like 6K or something. But it meant that selling this meant that we wouldn't make music videos together anymore.

I would leave Holland, this kind of like stuff we were working on would end. And I was kind of saying this music video stuff, we're not getting big, we're not getting famous in this or successful, we need to stop doing this. This music production also, it's not really working.

And it was kind of like, felt very bad, you know, for my friends because we would work together on this and to sell this like camera that we'd make stuff with. It was a hard goodbye. It was just a camera, but it was like, it felt like, sorry guys, it doesn't work and I need to go, you know?

Like, you lean more on the stuff, on the services, right? Like, for example, you don't need a car, you use Uber, right? Or you don't need... Kitchen stuff, because you go to restaurants, you know, when you're traveling.
