Right.

That's a really beautiful thing.

Does that feel beautiful to you?

It feels hard-earned, for sure.

I don't know that I'm at peace with myself.

But I do increasingly recognize that I'm 51, which I love.

I love my age.

I am excited about the rest of my 50s and even my 60s.

And half of my 70s, perhaps.

We'll see.

I mean, you know, day by day.

But...

I wouldn't want to do over my teens, 20s, or 30s.

Those were not super great years.

And...

You know, you learn a lot and you make a lot of mistakes.

And I certainly had my fair share of fun.

And so it certainly is not a story like that's all grim and misery.

But my 40s and 50s so far have been really good.

And I don't, you know, like everything happens for a reason.
