Yeah. And also the understanding of what we had to survive and how our brains taught us. It's like a deer drinking water. They're always looking up. They can't just drink the water and relax.

Yeah. I was looking through some things recently and I ran across one of my old journals. From that era? Early 2000s. And I opened it up and I started reading and I just sat there. I was reading for hours. I called Oprah. I was like, listen, go pull out your journals and read some of the stuff you were going through 20, 30 years ago. It was so spiritual. I was in tears.
