I think it prepared me.

Again, as a child, I always knew that I wanted to get married young and have children.

I knew I wanted to be a young mom, and I think most people feel that way, but I would not be able to do what I do and travel and all the things that I've done if I did not have children at a young age.

Well, I do have to say, Larry was a great supporter through that.

I mean, I used to say, I see shadows.

Like, if you think you see shadows, you see shadows.

Like, he really didn't believe, or I like to use the word understand.

He didn't understand it.

But what he understood was that when I read, I became better.

It was like a release.

Yes.
