They, you know...

And the whatever is what I'm living right now, which I love.

But it was hard to know because there's this societal pressure to stick with the norm.

And I am not a normie.

And it has been really hard for me to accept that about myself.

And it's one of my favorite things about myself.

I was doing that.

I was really doing that.

And I was doing it in a variety of ways.

You know, I started off, you know, I married very young the first time and I was going to have this suburban married life and children and it, you know, it wasn't for me.

And then I sort of

hewed to these alternative norms, you know, like chick who dates music guys or outdoorsy person, you know, like they weren't like the straight and narrow, but they were also like kind of

And they weren't who I was above all.

So, I mean, I'm a little outdoorsy.

I do like to go outside, but I should not have been like, you know, hiking at the level that I was because A, I don't like it and B.

uh, I'm not good at it.

And, and the same with like skiing.

I hate skiing.

Oh my God.

I've been skiing so many goddamn times and I hate it and I'm bad at it, but I was doing it because it was like, I was being a certain type, um, that is like normal on this, like on this, you know, like an alternative normal.
