Tim Ferriss

It felt... And I had to decide in advance...

what feeling would make it worth it, right?

Because no outcome's guaranteed.

You have no idea what's gonna happen when this thing gets released into the wild.

So it was like, it was an unburdening for myself, right?

Wasn't expecting apologies from anybody.

I wasn't expecting a make good.

I wasn't expecting any Harry Potter magic spell to do control Z undo on these experiences.

I just, I was exhausted by carrying the weight of that secret around.

And... furthermore, I'd had this very skilled therapist tell me at one point, and maybe she just didn't realize that this would stick.

I guess we very seldom realize these little things we might say that actually can make a big difference to people.

She said, take the pain and make it part of your medicine.

And...

by taking my own experience and turning it into something hopefully that would help people, it gave it some redemption.

It gave it some meaning.

Am I glad it happened?

No, right?

When people say it's like, well, it made me who I am, fuck that.

Like, if I could remove that, I would remove it for sure.

The amount of damage that's done is unbelievable.
