And like, I remember I have a friend who's, he's an impressive, he's an impressive dude.

And, and I love him to death.

And,

I didn't want to show him vulnerability because I'm so impressed by him.

I wanted him to be impressed by me.

He's so strong.

I want him to know that I'm strong, right?

Um, I don't want him.

And it's not because I intellectually understand the importance of vulnerability, but it's still, I want to, I want my friend to like me.

I'm my, my amazingly impressive friend that I think is super impressive to think I'm impressive too.

And I'm on his level.

And I remember I was struggling and I called him up and I go,

I'm not in a good place.

And he was like, what do you got, bud?

What do you need?

And, um, I remember we were, uh, I, we were out once and I said to him, you know, you're one of those friends that I would call in a hard time.

And he said to me, I'd be mad if you didn't.

And we have this magical relationship now where we open up to each other and we open to each other a pretty, and it doesn't at all do any damage to what I think about him.

In fact, it makes me think more of him.

That's beautiful.
