Yeah, some of them I don't even understand but I see the passion and so I think just by the nature of maybe just who I've ended up in community with I'm surrounded by people where I feel like Generationally, there are a lot of people that are moved by whether it's their art or their career I think I saw that both in the creative landscape.

But I think even in the creative space, what was a good example is I'm like, all my friends are at the top of the top now, but they didn't start that way. And so many of them had really interesting experiences.

kind of non-traditional ways of getting into their respective field, which require just a lot of belief in self, not necessarily traditional schooling to be a musician, traditional this to be that. And so in that regard, I see a lot of discipline there. And I think what's funny is I hang out with people that all have bedtimes that are like, well,

And also people that are very sure about what is fun to them and participate in like, oh, this is what's fun to me. It's different for each of us, but it's cool to be like, oh, yeah, people are only showing up because this is enjoyable to them. And they have felt freed of showing up for the sake of showing up.

Yeah. I think it's a mix. Like when I see somebody like... My little brother, 16, we're technically same generation. It feels like a world of difference.

And he's someone that's also very creatively inspired. But I think the difference that I see is that even having... Instagram didn't come about until I was 13. And even though that was young, it was enough time for my brain to have had a life before social media. And it was... Sorry, it was years before it became a regular part of my life.
