But it's like, if you're a working dog, like, you need a job, right?

You can't be a border collie stuck behind a laptop all day.

You're gonna go crazy, start chewing on the couch.

Are you happy?

I feel like I am the happiest.

We could definitely pull apart that term and what it means, but I would say I am the most at peace.

That's more my goal than happiness, I would say.

You're reluctant to say that you're happy.

Well, I feel like I'm reluctant to say happy because I'm such a stickler.

This could be the OCD kicking in, but for terms, right?

When people are like, I just want to be successful, I'm like, let's talk about that.

Uh, very carefully, right?

When people get into fights about God, I'm like, are you guys talking about the same thing?

Like, let's make sure we're talking about the same thing.

Uh, I am very happy right now.

I have great relationships.

I have... you know, taken care of people I care about.

doing meaningful work, very happy.

But I think happiness comes and goes.
