So I would start with that question.

Well, and run that through.

Grandma comes back.

Grandma's here yelling at you.

Why is that bad?

Well, she would probably say something that would hurt your feelings.

Yeah.

So you're essentially running away from a bad feeling.

Spend days and weeks and months and years trying to avoid a bad feeling.

A bad feeling.

Like you're letting emotions, a feeling, run your life.

And not just run your life, but exhaust you in the process.

When if you, I mean...

I'll go extreme here.

When, when my mom died and I was in my early twenties, I was relatively young, had younger siblings too.

So there was a lot in that.

But I remember when my mom died, I was like, well, you, you have a lot of options here, Quinlan.

You can throw your hands up and stay in a ball on the living room floor for the next three to five years and pick your head up then and see what's going on.

Or you can, you know,

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps lovingly and just venture out little by little with the grief, with the sadness, with all of the stuff on my shoulders.
