And I flew home.
And it wasn't until about a couple months later that I was able to reflect and look at
what I might have done subconsciously, consciously to contribute to the vessel that was holding all of this dis-ease.
And that was basically the start of the exploration for the entire book, which is how we got here.
I'm a documentary filmmaker by trade.
And all of these diagnoses were happening towards the end of a very, very serious relationship with a former love of my life.
And I had moved out of our home.
And when he and I broke up and I moved into my apartment, which was also my office, it was white walls everywhere.
And the only thing that made me feel in my own power was love.
Being locked in in quarantine.
This was all during COVID?
Correct.
The very, very beginning.
So when I was locked in, a body with dis-ease, locked into an apartment that had no sense of home, I decided to do what I do, which is let's start peeling back what's happening to me and use myself almost as my own body.
documentary subject, which sort of felt like I was dressing up what was happening to me as like pre-production for a job.
But at the time, it made me feel empowered that I was able to start doing something.
And that was when I started asking the questions.
That was when
I started basically building a timeline.
I mean, like this was one big wall and it was just, you know, huge post-its that I just started lining up.
