Yeah. I mean, it honestly has been, well, it's been something I've done a lot of therapy on. And I have, God, I've talked about this so much and sometimes I really don't even know what to say. But I think I am lucky to have an urge to dissociate at times. And that has been one of the protective mechanisms that has really helped me and also probably hindered me at moments of growth.

I think it's really... The big challenge that I had to face within myself was just being as young as I was. I was 13 years old when Friday happened. I never know how to say that. When Friday hit the second tower. I don't know. That's your 9-11.

I promise you that. But anyway, being that young and having so many people be so quick to be like... you did a really bad thing like you really fucked up which is so bad what exactly was it bad or did you just like not care for it like those are two very different trains of thought you know what i'm saying people on the internet really use the internet as a tool to like

unleash their frustrations i think at the time and project yes at the time i didn't know this being that i was a kid but um yeah i just i took i think i was in a place where i had no sense of self and i was just like trying to figure it out like i was because you're a child i was you know in the eighth grade um

And being that young, it just was really hard to, I think, develop like a identity that wasn't based around what other people thought of me and being accepted. And so that's been a challenge and doing that in an industry where like people hate women a lot of the time and have... Such unreasonable expectations of women just made that even harder.

I have crazy, crazy stories about crazy people I could tell for many days, but I just feel really lucky again to like have always had, even when at times it was maybe two people. online rooting for me and being like, you got this. I feel really lucky to have them.

And also to be in a place where like, I would not be where I am now if it weren't for the people who I've met in the industry over the past few years who have been like, no go, like you got it.

I'll step back I'll help you out but like do what you gotta do yeah um and it's so it like hate and opinions and and all of that like just feel so outside of my orbit and like I love that I think that's great I think I've watched so many people on the internet really struggle with criticism. It's not even criticism. Criticism is one thing. It's like being perceived and hate.

Hate and the cancellation and everything. It feels like a war that you have to win by saying the last word.

What I've learned is, like, the last word is being so unbothered by it. Yeah. And I feel grateful to, like, be at a place where, like, I'm pretty unbothered. Yeah. To a degree. Period.
