the light that we all have, the, the emotion, the, the love that we bring, the, you know, that, the, the spirit that we bring to interacting with one another, that's our reality.

You know, this body houses us and we should take care of it and maximize it and, and love it.

And it's part of who we are, but it's not all of who we are.

Do you get a thing?

Sometimes you're like, I'm going to text my dad or I got to call him and you, and you think about it and then you're like, I want to, well, here's the thing.

And how much did that motivate you that he was in this kind of half-life in a way?

You know, it, it really has to do with grief and, and the grieving process, which is not something we talk a lot about in Western culture, but it's just, it's, I had to learn how to grieve.

So, you know, this good year and a half after he died, I would just sometimes burst into tears.

I'll never forget my assistant just

came by my office once and I just had seen some picture of him or something like that.

And I was just sobbing.

And my sister walked in and he was like, hey, do you want to?

Oh, and it's like, it's like, I'm like, it's okay.

I'm just crying because my dad died.

And he's like, oh, okay, I'll come back.

I'm like, it's all right.

Wow.

But you grieve so that you can go through, you know, and if you don't grieve and you don't learn how to grieve, you get stuck.

And that's a good life lesson.

Put that in your next book and smoke it.
