So it's kind of more like, I was so lost as a kid. And I really kind of got to a point where I loathe myself and just didn't like who I was. I just wanted to be myself and I kind of never fitted in with everyone. I hung around with anyway even though I was I seem to on the outside and every confidence was very lost. And it was like my two favorite growth fears. And I have quite often in my life say that you should embrace uncertainty and embrace fear because who says he's key you can't control what's gonna go it's okay to be scared, you know, just go towards the fear. I've learned that a lot.”
