I was doing an interview about money yesterday and they were like, so what were your money troubles? And I'm like... You got to see how I was raised. Again, I feel so lucky. I was raised with a family that was so intentional about being like, we want you to feel in charge and autonomous and we're here to guide you.

But I was going, mommy set it up so I'd go make friends with accounting at Black-ish and I'd go pick up my check every week, where typically you don't see it as an actor. It gets sent to your team. And then you see kind of the end result. I got to see it. I got to see how much the percentages were. I got to see... what the taxes were, and I was able to check.

I remember one time there was the wrong amount on my check, and I was savvy enough at 14 to be like, hey, this isn't the right amount. They're like, oh, yeah, you're right. So I'm saying, again, it is easy to feel guilty, to be like, why have I had it so good in the general scheme of things? And I really couldn't tell you why, but I think I'm coming to terms with the fact that

Even on this road to self discovery, I do have to say I've known myself pretty well. And so I'm realizing that some of this is the result of having known myself and continuing to learn myself.

They let me do so quirky. It's amazing. It did not cross my mind.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think... I mean, part of it... Like intense work and effort, but not extreme adversities. Yeah. And I think... For me, there are two things I realize. One, I think I minimize maybe some of the challenges I do face.

I think some of it is that because I've moved through it, eventually sometimes I think my ability to look back with the rose-colored lenses, I'm like... No challenges. Yeah, wasn't that hard?

Mind you, while we were in it, deeply challenging. So some of it is that I do know I'm minimizing past challenges. And I'm trying to come to terms with just being more honest with that. But I think some of it, too, is just knowing... Again, coming back to the cause and effect thing, so many things happen to good people. Yeah, so many things you can't account for.

It has nothing to do with how morally upstanding you are. It has nothing to do with how many resources you have, what you have, what you don't have. And I think maybe it's hitting my quarter-life crisis a couple months early. I think I hear stories of what people go through, whether it's family members passing, certain things like that.
