I need some support.

I don't really have the mental or emotional space to explain it.

And I think that it's an example of friends kind of coming up with solutions for their friends.

Once you've seen something happen once, to try to get ahead of it.

And I think for so many people, it's really hard to ask for help.

It's really, really, really hard to ask friends for help because we have these ideas that...

We shouldn't depend on them so much.

So trying to get ahead of it.

And in the end, I think you'll get it back to you once you model it for the people in your life.

Two other things.

One is to not operate from a place where you are assuming you are a burden.

As people in places like the U.S.,

get older, make more money.

We farm out the things that we need.

We pay for people to move our stuff.

We pay for people to paint our walls.

Instead of asking people around us, we pay for strangers to do it.

The office that I'm in right now, I had two friends of mine help me paint it and hang up this art piece that I'd had for years finally behind me.

And they were thrilled to be able to do it.

So it brings you closer to people.
