Yeah, that's right.

That's right.

You know, what does that do to your,

Sure, physical features like your eyes, your vision, I mean, presumably using artificial light, but what does it do to you psychologically?

I love nature.

I love being outside in nature.

I think most of us do in some way.

You know, we have this idea that, like,

going on a walk in the woods or in a park, it makes us feel better, right?

There's a benefit to being out in nature that we can all

recognize.

And even just having an animal, like a pet.

I've got dogs.
