Yeah, I think that's a clear point where it's like, you know, people think that doors are just wide open for me to walk through and are just handed to me.
You have to, you have to, sure.
We started touring in July of 2021.
I spent 2015 to 2018 making the first record.
But then when my dad got sick, I kind of put everything on hold.
It wasn't until he passed in 2020 that I was like, okay, my life is completely empty and I need something to...

And it's just nice to have a mantra to follow and to try in some way instill confidence, if it's possible, into yourself so that you can kind of do it.
