I'm, you know, it's that feeling of being alive in the dream.
And then like, okay, well now what are you going to do with this awareness?
Like now, you know, what are you gonna do?
And that excitement is,
Like that doesn't, you know, that's the thing to shoot for.
It's like to always try to remember that.
Oftentimes, like when I lived in New York, I'd be standing on the subway platform and I would imagine myself tripping and falling onto the rails, you know, like as the train is approaching or someone pushing me, you know, last second.
And that's why I usually would stand by a pole or something like that.
But I was doing that constantly.
Imagine, like, my ankle rolling off the sidewalk and me falling in, and I was just as a car is passing, you know.
But even though that's a weird exercise, it's not even an exercise.
It's just something that naturally happens.
But imagining those things, and then those things not happening, and then you continue to be walking on the sidewalk, it created, like, these, like, micro-mini...
you know, Christmas carols or like micro mini, yeah, it's a wonderful life.
So whatever.
And, or Huck Finn, you know, like experiencing, you know, pretending he was dead or whatever.
And then, you know, like being in the rafters and watching people celebrating his death and like, you know, whatever.
Point is you start noticing these things and you start appreciating what, where you aren't.
And that kind of reinforces your appreciation of where you are.
You know?
