It's not something that was said, I think, early on in life.

I think as my dad got older, those emotions started to kind of come out more and more as my career kind of escalated.

It's a legal pad.

Yeah.

He put it in a card, and it wasn't even folded.

He's like folded, but then to fit in the card, he folded just that little bit to fit in the card.

And then, yeah, it was written scratch-outs here and there, stuff on the side, you know.

Yeah, a letter.

There was no text message, email.

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, there was hints of it.

I don't want to say my dad had a black heart.

I didn't intend to do that.

Yes, they are.

However, my dad, I think, had a kind of coming of age where he did start, you know, my mother is more of that person for me, you know, like, although she still, you know,

I come from, like, negative people.

You know, I think that's, like, our family is kind of negative.

If something happens, we always dwell on, like, the negative of it all.

Even that's, I think, that's how I motivate myself to do better is I'm not one of these guys that gets up and, like,

You see it all over social media that people that are like positive, you got to write down your goals, bro.
