perfect or put together as i as i presented and i think that made me double down because i also didn't like dealing with the doubt of being more perfect or to yeah i'm just i i think there is a sense of perfectionism i deal with but there's also like i kind of landed on the planet this way of being like yeah i just was never a really drinker because i just never really had the desire to it wasn't from some like i can't drink because i've never been drunk in my life right

I mean, I know I just started drinking, but I'm like, same, because I'm just like, either it has to taste phenomenal, which most times it doesn't. And I think being introduced to drinking on a college campus where I'm like, the warm beer or warm orange juice, not appealing. And I think to me, I was like, yeah, never done drugs, never desired to.

It was never even a decision of, oh, I can't because that would look like this or that. Never desired to. It's just kind of your makeup, yeah. Yeah, some of my makeup. And so I think a lot of times I felt as though people were challenging my makeup as though I was moving super strategically when it wasn't that.

Of course, I definitely had a fear of failure, but I think the core tenets of who I am and how I move through the world came from authentically just how I landed here. And I think some of that, some of the attention I got for moving the way I did made me feel more...

what is the word made me feel like people were waiting for me to slip up really because it was always so voiced it was voiced to me so constantly the more I did that feeling of being like oh but you know you can be just a regular kid like I don't know why you think you need to do all this I'm doing this because I want to do it like I would not have been able to go through four years of school if I didn't want to be there no one could have convinced me into that flying back and forth no

No one could have convinced me into doing, like, a voting initiative unless I wanted to do that. And so I think the mistrust people had that it was coming from just truly who I am, and I have a team of people that were honoring who I am. It wasn't coming from external voices of, like, you know who would look great. Right. But I think it made me skeptical.

Like, are people waiting for me to slip up? Are they waiting for me to be... I don't know, something that I'm not. And I think that definitely made me aware, more aware of how I came off in the world because before I never questioned it. Really? Until I got the comments, I never questioned like why I was making certain decisions because it was just kind of second nature.

Yeah, it's who I am. And so I think that's something that I had to move through where the strategic thinking didn't come in until after I had heard, oh, people are kind of waiting for me to slip up for whatever reason.

Well, I think, honestly, the fear moving forward has been... Has been not living authentically. I think I spent – luckily, I don't think I was in that headspace for too long. But I think, again, feeling like, okay, people are waiting for me to slip up. Okay, I need to be on my P's and Q's. Also just having an immense responsibility of being like I'm on a show.
