Reuben Williams

Can we get you some water or whatever?

Do you need some time out?

I'm like, no, it's fine.

Let's just do the pitch.

When you're an entrepreneur trying to keep your business alive, but you're also a victim of sexual assault going through a six-year trial, you don't have a choice but to do both.

Wow.

But by this point, my feelings towards the court case trial were very different compared to the first time I went around.

And when the second one rolled around, I did the same thing that I did going to the magistrate's court.

I was feeling, rather than feeling angry and anxious about the whole thing, I was actually very grateful.

I knew that you cannot control the verdict here, but you can control how you show up.

and you've continued to show up for five and a half years at this point.

Um, I'm so grateful to you, Ruben, for, for getting to the end.

And so I wrote another letter to myself, just saying to 24 year old Ruben, like how, how, you know, thankful I am for that person who made that decision at that point in time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, there's no pressure.

No, no, I'm happy to read it.

Yeah.

Okay.
