The first week was that first weekend when I came home after that Saturday I was like, I was pissed. But I realized, you know like I have other people that are dependent on me. It doesn't matter what's going on in like for me.

Like my family's dependent on me. And then all these people who's who work for me, their jobs are dependent on me. And so me crying isn't going to fix my situation.

And I also like oh no, this was really hard. I've also done a lot of other really hard things in my life and I don't know that this was as hard as those other things. Such as I was a missionary for two years that was in.

Yeah. As a Spanish speaking missionary there, this is like pre housing crisis, speaking to immigrants. And that, that was hard because one, it like wasn't very fun and two, you know, like you're people are unloading some of their most stressful life problems on you every single day. And you're like, oh gosh, I'm sorry you had to deal with that.

Like that. That was more mentally crippling I think. You know, I also, I moved out really young. I moved out when I was a teenager, before I finished high school.

That was hard, you know, like I've done hard stuff. I can do hard things. And some people tell me like, oh, this experience will give you grit.
