And it's important.

It was important for me to get it off my chest and out so that I could like finally, I was depressed about turning 40.

Oh yeah.

So depressed about it.

But, um, I think it's because I didn't, I didn't feel like I was like present during my childhood.

And I mean, I was working a lot.

And so, um,

it was important for me to get it off my chest and be at a point now where I feel like I can accept that I'm 40 and actually enjoy it.

And so that was the whole gist of the album.

Oh yeah.

Well, when I made music for my mom growing up, it was a completely different lifestyle to now making music in L.A.

and the big world of music.

I didn't realize how much work it would be.

I didn't realize the grind.

And I think when I first got into it, I was kind of lazy about it because I was like, honestly, I probably should have been a Gen Z because I was just like,

Fuck this.

I don't want to do this, you know.

And so a lot of decisions I made in my career, I feel like, you know, it was all my fault, basically.

All the failures that I've had, I realized were my fault for being, you know, lazy or not putting in the effort and the grind.

Yeah, so...
