Hello. Hello, hello. Welcome back to the pod back again. Again, again. Back Um, I have a life update. All right. Hit me with it. Okay. So I got remember last week when we were talking about New Year's and goals, and I said, I got this really cool journal. Yeah. I got in the mail. Yes. And it asks for your word for the year. And in the past, I've always given a word. Oh. And this year I've, I did not do a word, but do you know those little, um, word searches on Instagram that are like the first three words that you see Yeah. Are gonna be 20, 23? Yeah. Every single time I've done, I kid you not every single time. I've done probably 20 of them. Every single time I've done one. Connection has always been one of the words. Connection. Connection. And so, As I was doing this last night, I started my journal and I was like, it has to be the word connection. And so I put like, I want to connect with myself more this year. I wanna connect with like God and my faith more. Oh, nice. I wanna connect with nature more. I wanna connect with like friends and family and just like other people on my TikTok more and like bring that community. Yeah. What a good word, huh. I love that. I was gonna ask you too, how does that, um, interpret into your life? Cause I'm like, interesting word. How does that, every time I saw that word, I was like, why, why this word? Like what does that mean? Like it wasn't really jumping out to you. Like you immediately like had some sort of Yeah. Oh, this is what I think it means. Yeah. Like the other ones like, oh, health and purpose or whatever. I'm like, oh great. No connection. So that's my word for 20, 20, 30. You kind of got to like sit on it a little bit. I gotta sit, which I love this journal you guys. Um, I think it's called the artist. of Life Workbook. We need to do like, put like a link together for like all the things that we like talk about. So you can put that there. Like the books we talk about. Yeah. Actually I'll link all of this, um, in our, uh, description. Yeah. So it's called the, I think the shop is like the Lavender, lavender Shop. Mm-hmm. And I love it. It's been so good so far. So I gave Lauren A. Little video update when I got it. Nice. Um, yeah, I did see It looks really cool. Yeah. It's so cute. So that's my word. I didn't think I was gonna have a word for this year. Mm-hmm. Um, but that was my word. Yeah. And that's my life update. Love. Do you likes that? Not, not new. How's your New Year's Eve? My New Year's Eve, it was really good. I had to work, but I mean, I gotta make that money, honestly. Yeah. I like just started a new job. So this is your year for the money? It is. I'm like, the money. Money is, I'm trying to be clocked in always. Yeah, you really are. You're like, I literally don't even care. Like, where are you Lauren? I'm at work. Yeah, a hundred percent. That's what I'm doing. Um, I know Lauren's two days off and that's when we do everything And other than that, I don't see her. I'm like, ADIO, see you next week. Bye Um, but yeah, it was good. I got drunk. Yeah. I threw her up. Yeah. And sent me some. I have the depression and anxiety feels on Sunday, so I think I'll be sober the rest of the Yeah. She's like, we're not big drinkers, either one of us are. No. Like we're, we're just, we're really casual. I'm a social drinker, like social drinker. Yeah. That's the word. Yeah. And we are casual about it too. Yeah. It's very like, um, it doesn't take much, first of all, it doesn't take much. I feel like two is my sweet spot. Yeah. Like two beers, two margaritas. Oh no. Some of these cocktails that I'd be drinking are strong. Yeah. Maybe one, one and a half. That's what I'm saying. I'm like, I thought that I was good if I ate something, but actually I'm a lightweight and that's okay. Yeah. I'm a really big lightweight and, Yeah. So maybe not the most ideal way to start my 2023. I am kind of beating myself up about it. You've gotta stop beating yourself about I have to about that. And I keep, I think I'm beating myself up too, because I'm putting a lot of pressure on myself this year. Yeah. And so if something goes wrong, I'm like, it's the it, but it's, it's literally fine. I've gotta stop doing that. You do. You really do. I really do. Stop being so hard on yourself. Oops, sorry. But can we just talk about really quickly. how horrible you feel when you drink alcohol. I know. It's so bad. Like that's why I prefer other things. Yeah. In not drinking because it, it, it's the worst feeling is the worst feeling. And I like to drink during the day too. For that reason. I would much rather drink early a brunch, like have mimosa. Mm-hmm. and Yeah. Be, because here's what gets me. It's the laying down at night. That's when I feel the worst, and that's when I feel like I need to throw up. Yeah. It's, it sucks. It's not when you're out, it's literally when you And I didn't drink any water. Oh. And so it was just a bad combination. Yes. But that, that's exactly why I like to drink at brunch too. Yeah. Because ago, yeah. Like I'll sit there, get my drinks in, and if I'm drunk, like, and if I fall asleep, I'll wake up and it's like six o'clock and I'm like, oh, well that was over. Dinner, shower, sleep. Yeah. Literally. Yeah. Like, it's completely fine. But drinking at night. Mm-hmm. not that good. It just gives you the, the cooking at night. Yeah. I just feel like it gives you bad, yeah. Anxiety or depression and you know, like I used to when I was younger, like when I was like first turned 21. I used to feel really guilty for not being like, what? Apparently is being, but it's like a typical, typical 21 year old. Yeah. Like going out all the time and like drinking and clubbing, whatever. That's never been me. No. Never. I've gone out more as I've gotten older. actually I have to. Yeah. But it's like to, I kind of know what spaces I like to be in. Same. I like a bar. Yep. Lounge kind of vibe. Yes. Not a burb. I like day things. Yes. I'm such an old woman. Geez. No, I am too. I feel the same way. I like don't wanna be out at night hardly ever Do you know what I aspire to be? What? Someone who is like cooking their own dinner with a glass of wine. Yes. Like very sophisticated, mature vibes. I mean, very mature. Yeah. I'm not trying to get drunk and sloppy in a club. Yeah. And even though I think a good sloppy moment in an intimate setting is awesome. I think sometimes I think everyone needs at least one drunk, sloppy moment. Yeah. And then be done you like I can't do that on a consistent basis. No. Yeah. I just feel like I don't wanna, I don't wanna throw up because of alcohol. Oh no. Anymore this year. No, absolutely not. Cause I think my cutoff is too, I don't think I've ever actually thrown up from alcohol. I have a lot. I'm not gonna lie, because when I had a gallbladder, I'm about to say that. You had a Yeah, it was my gallbladder. Yeah. So my gallbladder, like something was not right with that. No. The worst thing that happens to me, that I've noticed is, um, my voice gets really raspy. I like lose my voice when I drink a lot. Really? Mm-hmm. if I'm not mistaken, I looked it up. Cause I was like, is this like a correlation? Like, am I dumb or Yeah. Is this just happening whenever I'm, you know, drinking? Yeah. Something about like drying out. My vocal chords or something weird like that from the alcohol. Yeah, something like that. I need to have a game plan going into all inclusives, because I don't know, I don't wanna get so drunk. Here's the thing. I wanna be continuously drinking probably. And I think that's whenever you need to drink water in between water. Like I'm sure that's why most people go to an all-inclusive, they'll probably drunk the whole time. Yeah. I don't know. It'll be really fun. who, who knows how that's gonna go? Who knows? I don't, I dunno. I, it'll be fun. I'm hard to think about it too much. I just know if I, if I don't throw up I'll, it'll be a success. Cause for some reason, whenever I'm drinking, my whole thing is if I don't throw up. We're good. We're good. Yeah. But I start panicking when I throw up. I have like a phobia throw up. I don't know. Um, so I'm someone who would rather just get it over with and just be sick and like, be done. Anyways, guys, anyways, sorry for that discussion. Um, okay, so we're really excited because next week we're going to a book club. Mm-hmm. Kenzie, Elizabeth's book club. Mm-hmm. And we're gonna drive there. It's gonna be so fun. We're gonna have a little one night vacation. A cute little girls trips. Cute little girls trip. Really fun. I'm so excited. And we have the cutest hotel. I'm so excited. Such a cute hotel. And we're gonna just have a great time. But we want y'all to read this book. It is, it's been, yes. Honestly, didn't think I would, I asked Lauren. Mm-hmm. I was like, is this book spooky? Because I don't wanna be reading it by myself. Yeah. I'm scared. No, it's, it's not spooky at all. It's just like, very. It's like what's going on? Investigative Yeah. Like what? Like what is really going on? And you're 50%, right? I'm at 50%. This morning when we were texting and I started talking to you, I was like, okay, if we're gonna talk about this, yeah. I need to either not read or find out where she's at so I know if I'm like ahead of her or not. Cuz you were ahead of me for a little bit last night. I was ahead of you last night and I was like, I will stay ahead. And then Lauren swooped in. I knew though, because you had off today. I was like, she's gonna, I woke up and I read 10% of the book and I was at 50 and I was like, okay, let me stop right here cuz the last time I knew you were on 30 something, 38. And then I got to 42. So I'm at 42 right now. Such a good book, um, for anyone. It'll be linked down below, but it's called 20 years later. Mm-hmm. by Charlie. Don. Leah, if you, I think this is, I mean, we don't really have any spoilers, but if you like, haven't read the book yet, you may wanna skip over this, but say you skip just like a couple minutes. Yeah. Um, we'll kind of be talking about it for a second, but, um, my cat is screaming. what? Remy Okay. So what do you think about the book so far? Um, so I really like it, um, and it's doing a really good job of holding my attention, getting the story set up. Yeah. But keep like, but I'm not being like, okay, like, hurry up and get to the point. Yeah. Because there's so many things. Are you on the part where he, um, Walter or Walt, whatever Walt I think is just his name. Mm-hmm. Walt. Mm-hmm. is, um, like he read about the, the autopsy thing again. Um, um, I just got to the point where him and. what's her name? A Megan? No, Avery. Avery. Okay. For some reason I almost said Aubrey. Um, I just got to the point where him and Avery just met. Okay. In the bar. Okay. And then, and you know what you, am I getting to a spicy part? No, but like, cuz you're on that part. Mm-hmm. So like you saw where like, I think it's his perspective first or something. It's Yes. Okay. And he said that she was attractive. Yeah, I know. He, he was like, I wasn't expecting to like be, and then she says that he's attractive and I was like, I know Katie. Literally I called it. You did. And I, I was like, what is she talking about? Are you not even thinking about that at all? No, I'm like, I'm like, they're gonna be and they're gonna fall in love. You think it's gonna be a thing? I think so. Yeah. I think it has to be. Um, I think they're gonna solve it together. I think that's what's gonna happen at first, honestly, I'm gonna give you my honest opinion. The book was a three at first for me cuz I was just like, this. For me, I get into big research holes too. I think that's where like my Enneagram four wing five comes out. Uhhuh in books because I'm like, I wanna know who are the characters, what's go, like I kinda wanna know the plot before I even start reading. When you don't have the full picture, you're like, yes, I can't. And in the beginning I was like, what the F is going on? Mm-hmm. like there's so many different perspectives. Every single chapter is a new location. Like what is happening? Yeah. And then probably by like, it didn't take very long, probably chapter three. I was like, okay, I'm understanding more. I'm getting this once. Like Walt, we figured out who Walt was and kind of him coming back into the story, I got really hooked. You know the thing that, cuz whenever we were talking last night, I think I said something like, he said something that caught my a attention. I know what, what was that? You're already past this now I think. I'm pretty sure you are. Mm-hmm. Yeah. So when he got to, um, New York. Mm-hmm. And he went to the police department in that town. Oh yeah. And he went to the sheriff. It's the same guy that was there Yeah. 20 years prior mm-hmm. when he was put on the case and he was working with them. Yeah. And when the guy gave him the, uh, the box with like the, um, I guess it was just paperwork. The evidence. Yeah, like the evidence. Yeah. In the sheriff said something like, you can have it for like as long as you need it. It's a like close case or whatever. And like the last sentence of that, um, chapter, Walt like had the box and he said something like, Basically saying, I don't know why he said that. Cause he knows it wasn't closed. Oh. And, but then I'm like, maybe I'm overthinking it because, because of nine 11 happening. Yeah. It was like overshadowed by Yeah. That case, even though that case was a really, it was huge. Yeah. And also I feel like the plot makes it seem like it's more about nine 11 than it really is. I mean, it is about nine 11. It does have that kind of, that's like the cover story kind of. Yeah. That's like, no, it is. And so that I didn't, I was like, I don't wanna read a book about nine 11. I know. Like, sad. That's, that's part of why I was like, do we really wanna do this? Because like, I don't want to, I don't wanna, Yeah. Absolutely not. But it has proven to be a really good book. I can't wait to read weed. I can't read I can't wait to read more of it. I feel like it's been a quick read too. I'm like, and and it's crazy cuz it's almost, almost 400 pages. Really? I think, I think it's 355 pages You read 25% just yesterday. Yeah. So I know that if I can keep that up, I'll be finished in Well cause I read at work too, so that's part of why I'm like, are you finish it tonight? You think? I really want to, I'm not going to. I don't think I can. I'm not that fast reading. I probably will be able to get, you're a faster reader than me. Girl. I'm, that's a fact. Yeah, that's my thoughts. I'm really excited. I want to finish it, but I'm a slower reader than you. Did you get to the part where she goes to the brownstone? No. In Brooklyn and the guy's like, I need$500? No. Oh, shit. Okay. No, I'm not there yet. Uhuh. Ooh, I, I'm getting to the point. I think the next point, I wanna know what the heck is going on with, with her like, period. I thought the part with him, with Walt and Cameron Young's. Mm-hmm. wife was odd. Mm-hmm. like, he was kind of pressing her a little bit, which I understand the questions that he was asking and stuff, and she got kind of mad, which I would be too. But then again, I don't trust her. I don't trust anyone yet. I know. Like, I really don't trust a single person. Like someone is being really deceptive. Yes. Can we talk about the fact that Avery hates her dad, but what do you think the 7 77 means? You think he's in? Um, I thought, I think he's in living in one of the boats on the dock. Oh, at Connie Jackson's? I, I maybe, but wouldn't you see him? No, it's in New York. Oh. She said he's not, I think, I think he's in New York, so I think it's too, because she talked about how he's. living in the most obvious place. Yeah. I just, I don't know why she would help him, because whenever they talked about it first, when the detective got Walt back and he was like, I think she's gonna do something. Mm-hmm. I'm like, there's no way. Like, yeah, they might find some information out from her, but there's no way she's actually gonna help out her dad. I think that she is though, because I think she will too. But in that moment, I didn't think she would. Because you've gotten to the part where, um, she goes to, uh, Victoria's sister's house. Yeah. And like the sister's telling her like, my sister's innocent. Yeah. Like, whatever. I think, I think that she really is holding her dad. I do, I really do. I think she's been helping her dad too. Y to a certain extent, yeah. Okay. And like, because he like Yeah. Ran that Ponzi scheme. Um, like they wanna arrest him, but they literally don't know where he is. Yeah. And you think she, he, she knows where he is? Yes. Okay. And then like, and the fact that she changed her name, and no one's. Yeah, no, that is, she's literally on national television and people I know How are not people not putting two and two together? Well, I wonder, I I can't think of the timeline of when that story came out about her dad. That's the thing. I think she was 28 you said. Oh, okay. She was older. Yeah. I don't know. But she was in a very different spot though. It wasn't like she was always in the limelight. Yeah. Technically. No, you're right. You know? Mm-hmm. So, um, y'all need to read the book, is what we're trying to say. It's, it's pretty good. Yeah. And it would be fun to have y'all read the book and then tell us your thoughts too. Yeah, because it's really good and I don't read thrillers a lot, and this is the first one I've read in a while. Thrillers are so, yeah. Good, because, I mean, I went through a phase when I was in high school where I read like mm-hmm. thrillers and suspense. And you changed your book goal? I don't know, because it's still saying I'm on track and I haven't finished a single book yet. Yeah, we're all on track, but I'm almost done. I know, but usually it's like start, it'll start to like here in the next two days it'll be like planned. Yeah. After a week. Yeah. Yeah. So I mean, I'm at 50, that's just four books a month. I don't know, 75. There's still a lot of books I could not do. 75 or 175 to 80 might be the new goal. I think you should have 75 because then you can, you've been thinking about it and also you can annotate and like kind of take your time. And I feel like when you have a really hard book goal, not that I don't think you could reach it, cause I really definitely think you could, but I think you would settle on what type of book you wanted to read. Mm-hmm. Like you would read smaller books just to finish the goal. Exactly. Instead of like books that really blow your mind. I really want to like be more intentional with the books. Yes. Yeah. Yes. And be able to plan it out. Because you have to be strategic in a way. Yeah. In order to finish a hundred books because a hundred percent. I definitely want to get into audiobooks, but like that's part of how you get there is audiobooks and books that are like barely a hundred pages. Yeah. And Cause I could finish that in the afternoon almost. Yeah. Oh, a hundred percent. Yeah. Like, I have a day off. I'm gonna read this book, I'm finishing it today. Yeah. Like I just feel like you can't get like a full story in a hundred pages. I, yeah, well, you, you can and, and you know, it depends. Um, yeah, just not a lot of like description, not any ones that I would wanna read because according to my stats or whatever, on Good Reads, I read really long books. Yeah. I'm excited to start The Simple Wild or Magnolia Parks. I think you should read Simple Wild. I think I should, should. I'm so excited. I have the physical copy if you actually want that one instead of No, I'll Kindle it. You'll do the Kindle. Okay. Yeah, because I've just come to the conclusion, I read Kindles way faster. I do too. Probably because I take it with me in the bath. Yep. I take it to read like you can read in bed. I read it in bed. Mm-hmm. Yeah. And I don't need like my little book light. I don't know why. I just feel like. Literally, I would not be as far with the book we're reading now if I read physical. Mm-hmm. That was a fact. I totally agree. Yeah. So that was our little rant book rant. Um, but what, oh, what's our topic Today we're gonna talk about our job history. We're gonna talk about job hopping because Katie and I, I mean, I think it's a new age thing, just like our Yeah. Generation. I think we just wanna break the stigma. We have a different approach to work. Clearly. Considering I'm like on job number seven right now. Yeah. Easy. I feel like I finally found my career. Yeah. You know, but before this I definitely job hopped. Yeah. And I still like, like having passion projects or, you know, I think it'd be really fun to maybe not get a job as a worship, like, Doing some kind of worship something, but I would love to branch out and do maybe like little gigs for Oh yeah. Singing or, um, just singing on a worship team on Sunday if I get get paid or not. But I think that would be really fun. So I'm all about, like, even though I feel like I found my career still having passion projects or, um, multiple streams of income or just little like side gigs and jobs, you know? Mm-hmm. Yeah. I'm kind of at a point where like I've had so many different jobs, especially once I did the corporate thing and I left, I've realized like, okay, the corporate thing didn't work out. Yeah. Um, I know think it was your specific role though too. Yeah, that too. That too for sure. And I think that was a big thing that I think though too, like. Breaking the stigma of one college is not always needed. Mm-hmm. And two, it's okay if you don't know what you wanna do. Exactly. You know? Yeah. And so, and it's hard, especially like when we talk to like our parents or people that are around their age because they have such a different approach to work. Like, my mom's been at the same place for so long, and, but I think a lot of them. I'm not speaking for your mama, obviously. Mm-hmm. Cause I don't know. But I think a lot of the times the older generation starts a job. Maybe doesn't love it, but just keeps it, and I think our generation is all about like finding something you actually love doing. Yeah. That's what I've always, I think that's why I job hopped so much Yeah. Is like, if a job was ever affecting my mental health, I'm like, I'm out Yeah. You know what I mean? Absolutely. I'm like serving, like when I served at a restaurant. Yeah. Like that was so hard. Like especially the last couple months of that was so hard on my mental health. Yeah. And I was like, yeah, I'm outta here. Well, and like at first, for me, the reason why I was switching jobs was because I was going to school. Mm-hmm. I was getting my associate's degree and then I transferred schools and so I was like, okay, like I'm gonna switch it up and then it turned into, Okay. I want something where I actually like know I could keep showing up here. Yeah. Like a year from now and not be like totally miserable. Yeah. And the position I'm in right now is just such a 180 or is that 180? Yeah. Mm-hmm. It's like all the way around. Yeah. 180, um, from whatever, 360. Yeah. Be all the way around. Yeah. So it's just totally different. Yeah. From what I was doing before. Yeah. Because even on the days where it is difficult mm-hmm. it doesn't even hold a candle Yeah. To what I was dealing with mm-hmm. Um, and it's all pretty fixable. Yeah. You know, people are coming to where I work to relax and like take their mind off of outside problems. Yeah. Versus literally like dealing with everyday things in people's money and that's stressful, making sure people get paid, that kind of stuff. Yeah. Um, so, you know, It has its moments, but I mean, so far like it's fine. I'm really gonna try to stick it out. I really, it starting a new job is so stressful. It is. Yeah. It sucks. Yeah. Starting a new job is really, really hard, I feel like too. Um, I don't know. I guess I don't wanna say this in a way that's like, quit your job if you hate it. But I think just finding something you love, like I know a lot of people are like, oh, I'm stuck in my job. And that very well may be true. Mm-hmm. for a lot of people. But I also think there's so many opportunities out there that we don't think about. Yeah. Like I would love to start, you know, doing some more like stuff on TikTok and all of that. Yeah. And um, even just growing my fitness platform and all of that kind of stuff. Yeah. Like my fitness, like TikTok and Instagram. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I think there's a lot of opportunity out there that we get. like stressed out because we think there's not Yeah. You know, that's true. But it's also hard too, cuz people's situations are so different. Yeah. Like I couldn't imagine what my situation would be if I had kids. Oh, a hundred percent. Or if I was like expecting a kid or if um, I lived on my own or like, I literally would not be able to just get up and leave. No, and that's why, I mean like it's so, there's so many like situations where people can't change their job. Yeah. And it's hard cuz it's like that situation might offer something. Like my last job, the benefits were great. Yeah. So if I had a family and like bottom line, I would be like, I'm gonna have to just make it work or go to a different position or something. Yeah. Because the pay wasn't bad. The benefits were really good. Um, but thankfully the position that I'm in right now allows me to really kind of figure out, okay, what am I doing? Yeah. You know? Yeah. And so, And then also having the job I have now allows me to like actually have the capacity to do this. And like you didn't have the capacity beforehand to do anything I loved or, yeah. And that's hard. That sucked that. Yes. That's really, really hard. Yeah, it was. It was really, it was a really rough time actually. Yeah. Um, my mental health tanked. Mm-hmm. like so fast. I literally was there for six months. Yeah. And I think I saw you like maybe once out of that, maybe once that whole six months. I literally like coming home every day and having a massive headache cuz I'm having to use Yeah. Just so much of my brain. And you had to work at home sometimes too, right? Yeah, I'd work from home sometimes. And, and then thing is 8:00 PM 9:00 PM And the thing is, some people like working from home I'm sure isn't great when you have a job that isn't. Like that where I, I need like help every five seconds Yeah. For something. Well, and also you'd work a full day there. Yeah. And then also work at home. Yeah. And then that was the whole thing. That's not too, like, I was like not supposed to be doing that, but, um, I was doing it. Yeah. Because it wouldn't set me up for, you know, having a better day, you know, um, the next day. But having to focus that hard and taking it one day at a time. Yeah. For a job. No. Oh, absolutely not. Mm-hmm. no. Like, I can't do that. I feel like I've always been somebody who like, really this is what I'm learning this year is like, you can't idolize anything. I was someone who idolized a relationship. I was someone who idolized like my position in a role. Mm-hmm. And I'm just really taking a step back from like, everything I've ever idolized and really trying to like, put that into, okay. Like, who does God say I am? That's number one. And then who do I say I am? You know, like really focusing on like, okay, I've put self worth into all of these things. And I mean, even recently, you know, and it's just, I don't know. I worry a lot about that kind of stuff. Like, how am I doing in my job? Are people mad at me? Are, and that's so frustrating, like, yeah. To be the person to like, are you like, are you being the way you're supposed to? Or like, I don't know. Is that kind of where you're, what do you mean? Like, are you I'm like overreacting. Yeah. Or you're like overthinking. I'm overthinking. That's what it is. It has nothing to do with like, it has nothing to do with me. Really? Yourself. Yeah. It's like you're, you're overthinking and then you're overthinking about how people are. Mm-hmm. And I'm overthinking about overthinking the situation. Yeah. Like crazy. It's a whole damn cycle and it's really up to you. Like at the end of the day, do you to stop it, how do you feel? Mm-hmm. Because you are the one that has to live it. Yep. Like yeah. And so that's what I'm trying to do now is like take a step back from idolizing Yeah. All these things and like putting that worth back into myself. Yeah. You know? No. So that's what I'm trying to do lately and I think it's helping a little bit. Yeah. I mean I really just started like really figuring out, oh shit, I idolize like a lot of things. And that's a really hard thing to come out of. Like that is not easy. No. All of these things that you're like trying to tackle or they're like big heavy emotional Yes. Things. Yeah. Yeah. 100%. And I think I've realized too that this year is. You know, I only had four months of the year to really like, quote unquote set myself up for success in 2021, I guess. Yeah. Or 2022, sorry. Yeah. And now in 2023, I feel like I can't, this is my year for sure, but I also feel like this is almost like my prep year. Like, okay, let, and that can't mean, that doesn't mean that a lot of great things can't happen, but it's like I gotta prep myself. Mm-hmm. because I didn't really, in 2022, I did for the last couple of months, but I also was still going through something really heavy, really emotional. I'm still going through something really heavy. Yeah. Really emotional, but. every day is getting better. And also I feel like now is the time to like prep myself. Yeah. You know, like set myself up for success. Yeah. Okay. Let's find, you know, a church home this year. Let's like really grow in my friendships. Let's really grow in my relationship. Let's like really kick ass at my career. Like, it's like the prep year for like the success I feel like I'll see in 2024. So you see like the fruits of your labor kind of Yes. Thing. I feel like that's almost this year for me. Yeah. Which I probably felt the same last year, but I feel like that this is really this year for me because I'm shifting so much mentally, it's like the mental growth of it all. Well, you're probably in a better position to actually do that because Yes. You have nothing really distracting you. Yeah, exactly. Like you're kind of forced to do it at this point. Yeah. Um. because like, what did you say? Like last summer, you like asked God to show you. Yeah. That is so crazy. I did. I was so sad last summer. Yeah. Just honestly so depressed. And I was like, okay, God. Like show me. Yeah. And it's the same thing I thought whenever. Mm-hmm. So before I had my corporate job. Mm-hmm. like at a job where it wasn't difficult at all, whatever. I felt like it wasn't what I was supposed to be doing though. What job was this? when I was working at the, this is how many jobs I've had when I was working at the boutique and I was modeling for the boutique. Oh yeah. Yeah. I forgot that job. Geez, Louis. I know, it's crazy. It's really too much. But yeah, when I was working there, I felt like I should be doing more. Yeah. Like, shouldn't I be doing something that like I'm really like helping people or like Yeah. Really using my brain. And I literally kept saying, you know, I need something that's gonna help make me use my brain. I need something that's gonna make, I need a job that's gonna make me do this. And you got that. Oh, and I got it tenfold. Yeah. That's why you can't, like, you have to be very, um, careful with what you ask for, careful with what you wish for. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Because they're, yeah. And my mom come, and my mom's always said like, you have to watch the words that come outta your mouth. Yeah. Be really mindful of that because you might be putting something out there that you're not totally wanting. Well, and that I think is so true because I feel like, okay, if y'all haven't seen the TikTok thing, there's this girl on TikTok who said that 2023. No, I'm doing this every day. I know. Every single day. No, she says, um, what does she say? I'm so lucky. Lucky. Everything works out for me. Everything works out for me. Yeah. I'm just starting to say it every day and let's just watch how my life unfolds. But I know, um, I'm gonna do the same thing. I kind of say it like almost like. Silly ish. You know what I mean? Like, I'm so lucky. Everything works out for me. He, but I know I do. Yeah. But I feel like when you have the opposite, when you're like, of course this would happen to me, blah, blah, blah, like, that shit is real. Like it will manifest, it'll manifest into me. That's the same exact way. Mm-hmm. I cannot tell you, there's people in my life that I've said like, you have got to stop saying stuff like that. Yeah. Because you are gonna stay like, like in this, in the same bubble. Yes. In the psych negative head space. And like, that's what I was doing yesterday. I was like, I'm so alone. I have nobody. I was just feeding myself. And then I called my dad and I was like, truly, I'm in a miserable mood. Mm-hmm. miserable and then talked to him, got to feeling better. Mm-hmm. and then I journaled mm-hmm. And I was like, wow, I feel so much better after like, journaling and like putting out good intentions for the year and whatever it may be. But when you. like, well first of all, our brains go to the negatives, so it's always gonna go to that. Yeah, too. Your brain believes what you say. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like so it's just so true. And you know what? I actually just watched a TikTok I saw this on TikTok, I know I saw on TikTok, and this lady said the thing that holds people back. Mm-hmm. the most when it comes to like starting to work out or like wanting to change something. And then them failing is that voice in their head. They're like, she said, that voice isn't you. If you view that person as like you're in your living room walking around. Yeah. And there's a chair in the corner, and this thing, this voice is in the chair sitting there telling you you're fat or telling you like you are alone. Mm-hmm. and like you're miserable and bad things just happen to you and whatever. If you view that as something that's just in the corner and you're seeing it and you're like, whatever you keep doing, you, I'm gonna focus on this. And if you have that mentality, you'll see some like progress in changes, a real change in your mindset. Cuz that is not you. You know what that reminds me of? What, how about that? My therapist told me, um, she was like, there's gonna be different yous. Mm-hmm. and they can all sit at a table. Mm-hmm. they're all you, they can all sit at a table, but that doesn't mean you have to like, allow them to speak. And so I really liked that because I was telling her like, oh, you know, I have this feeling or like this voice inside my head that like, you know, really wants a relationship mm-hmm. or really wants a boyfriend. And I idolized that. She was like, that person can like sit there at the table. They don't have to speak and you don't have to like invite them in. and I liked that. Oh, I really like that. Yeah. And so that, that's kind the same thing. No, that's, that's why that reminded me of it cuz it's like, and I think also visualizing like, is the person that I wanna be, does she do X, Y, and Z? Does the person I wanna be skip her alarm clock? Does the person I wanna be Oh, like that not make her bed. Does the person that want to be not meal prep, like, what is the person that you want? What is she doing? Yeah. You know? Mm-hmm. And I think that that's, that can like minimize the voice in your head. Yeah. You know, for me, what I, I think minimizes the voice in mind. Mm-hmm. is like thinking, remember what it feels like after, remember what it feels like. Yeah. Once you've done it. Mm-hmm. especially for things that I like, I know how it feels. Things that I don't know, I just. I don't know what I do. Yeah. Still working on that, but, but I think that's things I know. I'm like, you know, like working out regardless of how I felt before, I'm always gonna be proud of myself. Yeah. And always feel better doing after always. I think though that what you're saying almost doesn't really apply to like, new experiences. You don't think so? No, I think because you're trying to build those habits. Yeah, that's true. So it's good to be like, like a new experience, I think, and kind of be exciting, nerve-wracking, whatever. But you're going to like get through it. But I think it's, you almost need to say that more to yourself when you're building the habits, even though you know how you feel. Like you're like, oh, I can just do it tomorrow. You know? And it's true. And it's like, no, I promised myself today and I know I'm gonna, like, maybe I'm in a shit mood. I know I'm gonna feel better. Yeah. So just do it. And like, like I said with the um, taking like, Having to take work day at a time. That didn't work for me. Cause I'm like, I have to think that hard about getting through my day. I'm here majority of the day. Yeah. That is terrible. But I do think having that mentality about like accomplishing my routines mm-hmm. and things that are gonna improve my day. Yeah. I think that's different. You like your job now though? Yeah, I do. I like the space I work in. Oh, amazing. And I like, the thing I realize that I really like is giving people recommendations. Oh I love that. People ask all the time, Laura. I'm at like, cuz we see so many different people. Mm-hmm. um, like, oh, you know, they might be from here, but they're not from like the city or like Yeah. That area. And I grew up here so I can help them out a lot so I don't know if we talked about it, but what is your degree in? Oh, are you going to use it? You think? And then what is your dream job? Three packed questions. Um, so I have a bachelor's degree in psych psychology. Yeah, my friend's smart. I didn't get that degree honey. And it was during lockdown too, so. That's amazing. Yeah. Um, so yeah, I have my bachelor's degree in psychology. Still very interested in the topic in the field. Mm-hmm. Um, have I worked in the field? No. Can I answer why? Not really. Well, it's just hasn't led me, like, first of all I will say it's it cuz you have to get your masters to do really anything in Well, to get to where I really wanna be. Like in the field. Yes. But what I will say was when I was job hunting, one of the several times I've done it. Okay. Um, there was a place that, and it was a job in the field, good pay, I was gonna be able to get the certificates that I Oh amazing. Wanted all that I applied. was in the talks with like, you know, whoever it was, I was emailing. Mm-hmm. um, got a phone interview set up. Could you not? It was a disaster after that point. Why? Like, the communication was terrible. The guy that I was supposed to have the interview with wouldn't call, I emailed, didn't hear anything back. Um, so they ghosted. Yeah. And then like, I emailed and like, no one emailed me back and it was just like really devastating because I was really excited to do it. Um, so then that's pretty much why I haven't like, tried again. So that was also another opportunity. They didn't want to pay me hardly anything and I was overqualified for it. Yeah. I don't like that. And it just, it was just a mess. And. I can't, I can't do this. No. Um, so it really just hasn't worked, worked out. That's the thing too, is people that get their bachelor's mm-hmm. sometimes are still underpaid. Yes. I wanna go back to school and I haven't done yet. Cause I really can't figure out what I want to do. Yeah. Yeah. I really don't know. Yeah. I have no idea. I almost feel like I went to school for English. Oh my gosh. To be a writer. Yeah. Oh my gosh. Please. That or to learn more. And like, that's why I need you to be a writer. You know what, I should really connect you with my friend on Instagram. She just published a book or she's going to the one that, it's the one that's gonna write the fantasy book. She did. She to wrote it. She wrote it. Yeah. She's, um, published with. Penguin uk. Yeah. So maybe you guys should like, yeah, maybe I should set you all up, because I think she'd be more than willing to because I, I don't have any sort of training in it. I, I dunno. I just know that she does, I'm really interested, but I think that you wouldn't have to get a full bachelor's for it. Yeah. I feel like there's certifications now and there's trainings and, you know, definitely. But it's just, I hope that requires a full, but I have no idea. That's a whole like thing because I love going to school for psychology. Like, I don't regret it at all. Yeah. But I'm like, I don't know. But maybe you can use the, your psychology degree for writing Yeah. Or something, you know. I could, that's true. I definitely could. Now down the road at some point, would I eventually go to it? Maybe, yeah. Who knows. But as far as my dream job goes, I would really like off the top of my head, I don't really necessarily have a dream job. Okay. I have a life that I know I wanna live. Okay. I love that. Um, that's kind of, yeah, so I know what I like to do and what I would wanna do and what would be really great to make money from doing it. So like my modeling and getting jobs, that'd be cool. Yeah. Um, but I also am all over the place cause I like to just like chop my hair off when I want. When do you know about that? The Chloe Kardashian? Um, apparently this month, but gosh, that's exciting. Yeah. I'm trying to think about too much cuz if it doesn't I forgot, but Yeah. Yeah. But still is a great opportunity. Yeah, it was a great opportunity for sure. Um, but yeah, like I know what kind of life I want. Yeah. And I know what I need to afford myself. Yeah. Love that. Like, so I can't really say I have a dream job necessarily. I know, like I said, what I wanna do mm-hmm. the things I wanna start doing. And that's really it. Yeah. Like, before, if you said like dream job, I would say modeling probably. I love that was the dream job. Yeah. Um, but now if I'm gotten older, it's like, you know, I just know what I want to do. Yeah. Um, what direction I want my life to be, the things that I want to be able to afford and like, and that sort of thing. So yeah. Love that. That's where I'm at. I love that friend. I think that's great. Yeah. So what about you? So I have an associate's degree for vocal performance. Yeah. Um, and I'm an online health and fitness coach. neither one of us are doing anything. No. Um, I would love to branch out again and maybe do like some kind of gigs, some singing gigs. I think that would be really fun. I feel like I'm actually in my dream job. So yeah. That's really exciting. That is. Um, but do I want to add on to that? Yes, of course. I feel like I've never been someone who's just had one thing. Yeah. Um, so I really just wanna capitalize on that this year, like help more women, um, you know, like have more clients. Yeah. That kind of thing. And like really help, um, grow like the company I'm in. Yeah. Um, which is real health and performance. If anyone wants to go take a look at our Instagram. because I really do love like my coworkers and like my boss and stuff, that's like such a blessing that you feel like you found your dream job at this Yeah. Age. I know like we're, so many of us are like just trying to figure that out and I know like, I cannot say the same, but I'm at a point where I'm more okay with Yeah. Not knowing. Cuz it's okay if you don't. I think when you're this young, I know I told you this like. right after things happened in my life. Yeah. I was like, you either have the job or you have the relationship and I have the job and you have the relationship. I know we're like complete opposites, but I, you know, only got into this career a year ago. Mm-hmm. hasn't even been a year. So April will be a year that I've been with Oh, wow. The company I'm in now. Yeah. And I just love it. I do think I would love to like be a podcast. I mean, we are a podcast host, but like, I would love to really have this podcast like take off, off, we just take off and, and be able to do like live shows and I don't know, I, I, I feel like we both dream really big. We do dream really big. We just have to, I'm a dreamer for sure. We are dreamers, both of us are, that's why I've like, set small goals for this year. Yeah. Like I said, you know, I wanted our podcast to have like a thousand monthly listeners and mm-hmm. you know, a thousand followers on. Yeah. Um, platforms. Yeah. But like, I would love to eventually do more stuff with the podcast. Yeah. Um, and I would love to, you know, I'm still working on an album, which I haven't really talked about. Yeah, that's true. It's been put on hold because, um, just a lot of like family stuff mm-hmm. happened, you know? Mm-hmm. in like October, November. So it's been put on hold, but I'm actually starting to go back next week. Oh, that's good. Yeah. And so I would love for that to, you know, be something. Yeah. I think just like, I just wanna be proud of that. I have no, like, specific numerical goal. I'm sure I will once it comes out, but I have no specific goals I want to hit with that. I just wanna have music that I'm proud of and that I personally wanna listen to. I totally resonate with that. Obviously it's not music because I like to sing, but I don't sound good, so whatever. Um, but there, I just wanna be proud of. something that I did. I think you could do that with books though, created. Yeah, for sure. You know, I think you're super creative too. Mm-hmm. And I think that you need that kind of creative outlet. Yes. I, I think so too. So I think just start writing. Have you started writing? Yeah. But it's nothing that is really like, um, one story. It's just like I'll be sitting there and be like, and I'll text Corey sometimes and be like, I was in the elevator and I saw these two people and I thought about this. And I think this is like really cool for some, that's just, I don't know how stories come to me sometimes. Yeah. Um, but in my notes, it's all over the place. They'll read something in, something will just look like a poem or something. Yeah. And then something else is a plot. And then it's, I think something that's cool to know though is like even riders have to sit down and like force themselves to write. Yeah. That makes me feel better. Like it's not just people that sit there. Yeah. It's not just create, yeah. It's not just flow all the time. It also have editors, they have people to help them out. Mm-hmm. And so I think. that would be really, really fun for you. Well, and I think the author of the Magnolia Parks, like universe, all those books. Mm-hmm. if I'm not mistaken, um, I watched a clip of her podcast that, um, Kenzie Elizabeth Oh yeah. Had her on and she like, oh she did? That's exciting. Yeah. And she like, uh, wrote those books. Um, I think the first one, I don't know if it was all of them, um, so don't quote me on that, but definitely the first one in like a year. Oh wow. And like she, like the story literally just came to her. The characters were all different before she, for what we have now. Oh, okay. So that is different. But it was just really crazy cuz it's like, it's almost, it sounded like she like had this thought and it, and it's crazy when you hear these authors talk, they are sitting there like, I've sat on this for years. Yeah. Or I had this book written for. months and months and months before I actually was like, okay, I'm gonna do something with it. Or they've been trying to get this one story just out there and it's just the timing just it was not working. You know what I think is cool too? What is knowing that like people can create or make really big things in their like forties, fifties, sixties. Yeah. Like it doesn't have to be now. I think a lot of us put, especially 20 year olds, gosh, we're, yes. Like 20 something year olds put so much pressure to make it when everyone says, notoriously your twenties is not even your best years. Yes. And everyone's timeline is different. Everyone's timeline is different. Like, and it doesn't help that we are on social media. Yeah. Preparing to because, but I think that whole. I think if you can use, doesn't bother me as well. Use social media to your advantage. Yeah. Of like getting hyped and getting creativity. Like for me, I've loved TikTok through like my healing journey. Yeah. Because I've curated like the perfect for you page. Yeah. That like is focused on becoming better in 2023. Mm-hmm. and healing and a lot of, you know, people talking about specific Bible verses or whatever. It is just like very encouraging things or things that make me wanna get up and be better. But I think when you, I think social media is a whole topic in itself. Like yeah. If you follow these people that you're constantly comparing to, why don't you just unfollow them literally like, I will mute or block you. Mm-hmm. I have no problem with hitting a block button and it's not anything personal, but it's because I don't block flicking. Yes. And also I don't wanna see it and I also don't wanna look it up. Yeah. And I know myself. Mm-hmm. So why not just block? Yeah. So I can't look it up. Exactly. No, I totally feel the same way. And I think too, for me, seeing people post on social media and also understanding that it is a highlight reel. Yeah. And maybe it doesn't, well that's not true. Cause it does affect people our age. But for me personally, like you can't tell me that you're really living that good right now. Yeah. Like, like truthfully, like in your head. Like they don't, probably don't even feel like they don't think as highly of themselves as you're thinking of them. And I also think that vulnerability is really attractive and vulnerability is like connection. Yeah. And so I know celebrities have like, I guess appearance they have to, yeah. Keep up with Or that they've branded. Curated. That they've branded themselves. Yeah. But it's like, I bet you so many more people would connect with you if you just shared something you're struggling with. I kind of agree with that, but at the same time, I disagree. Really? Really? Yes. Because people are so mean. Yeah. And every, everyone does not deserve to know what's going on with you. Oh, okay. It's just like how I always say, you're like, okay, great. I'm like, oh, okay. But like, so. I also, yeah, no, you're right. You're right. I also, I heard this one time, I don't know if my mom said it or like where I heard this from, but ever since I heard it the first time, it stuck with me. And it was like, as much as I believe in the power of prayer, I don't want just anyone praying for me. Mm. And you're kind of, your side is coming from like protect your own peace. A absolutely. No, I completely agree with that. Absolutely. I, no, you're right cuz I guess I wasn't thinking like social media can be whatever you like, it's an illusion. Yeah. Period. Period. Yeah. We don't, we don't know these people. Yeah. Like you're right. And I think if it was somebody like Haley b brochure to get so much hate, if she showed herself crying or something, she would be clowned. Brutal. Yeah. Brutal. And that doesn't go to say that. Like now if you choose to share those things mm-hmm. and people are hateful, whatever you put it out there. You know, people are going to, but I still doesn't, I still don't think that gives people their right. It doesn't. It doesn't. It doesn't. Yeah. It absolutely doesn't. But it will happen. But you do have a certain responsibility to protect yourself. Like someone on TikTok told me to eat a salad Like Okay. Like stuff like that. Yeah. I said, okay, Timmy Timmy. Like, cool. Yeah. Like, but also, yeah, you have to like, not take any of that seriously. You can't, because most of them are people named like Dragon 3, 4, 5. They, no, they never, they would never dare to put themselves out there like that. No, they would never. It's like, I'm sorry. And so, to me, like vulnerability, I do think it's important, but the people that have very curated content also, I'm like, do you? Yeah. Some people are totally into it, some people aren't. And that's how, like you said, like your timeline is curated for you. Yeah. Like, and, and that's, and that's great. Mm-hmm. and some people like, especially, the thing that I don't get is, like you were saying, if something is bothering you or whatever, just like let it go. Like unfollow them. If someone that's like, oh, I love this creator, but they're not vulnerable and like they're not real and they're not. Yeah. Okay. Well, and follow'em. Either like get over it. Yeah. Or I mean regardless they're getting paid or not getting paid, whatever. Yeah. That's so true. Like who Caress? Yeah. Yeah. No, you're so right. Yeah. Who cares. Yeah. It's their Instagram to do what they like, whatever they want with it. Exactly. Exactly. And they're so, and I think too, when you're on social media, you don't realize how much of the world actually isn't on social media. Yeah. Cause it feels like everyone's there. Everyone is not there. I'm say it feels like everybody is. The STA that I saw a while ago said something like, not even half of the world is on social media, but there's so many people. The world. I don't, I know, but I see a lot of like 2 billion people follow like a specific creator. That's a lot of people. But there are I guess 7 billion like Yeah. Bots. You have multiple. Oh, that's true. I mean, wait, you're so right. Yeah. But that also depends on how you define on social media. Yeah. Because you can have an account. Have an account, yeah. Follow. But if you're not actively on social media, that makes sense because someone could say like, I'm not even on it cuz my actual feed. Mm-hmm. like, I haven't posted anything since I don't scroll on Instagram. I just look at stories I love, uh, yeah. My stories. I have stuff some like majority of the time I think. Um, yeah, I feel like you do. Yeah. But I. I am not really on on, I'm on it. Cause I'm like always on it. Like, yeah. You know, looking at TikTok, going through Instagram, people's stories. TikTok is my absolute favorite. I love TikTok and no one can tell me otherwise. I used to really not be a TikTok star. I was like trying to be a TikTok hater at first. No, same. But I was like, I think it was, I love TikTok. Think Corey was just sending me stuff and he was like, you need to get it so you don't have to look at my phone. Um, and then I did and I was like, oh, I'm a believer now. No, it's, I love TikTok. Yeah, I definitely, I don't know my, I could rather get rid of all of my other apps and keep TikTok. I could. I could do that too, I think. Yeah. Actually. Yeah, I could too. Mm-hmm. that's like my Be real though. I do like my be reel I like TikTok now. TikTok now is, yeah. That's cool. Cool thing too. Same thing. But yeah, I feel like nobody's on my TikTok now, so it's so fun. No one's on buying either, so I love it. I know I only have like five people on my Be real. I know. And it's so fun to be able to look back at your Yeah. Days. Can you do that and be real? Yeah. Like look back at this specific day. I think so. Yeah. That's what I like on TikTok now. They made my little video for 2022. I saw those TikTok. Now you can like look back at a specific day. Yeah. And I'm like, that's so fun. Like what was I doing that day? And so I think like a year from now, I love it. Looking back. Mm-hmm. I think that will be so fun. And I really do think like as much harm as. I don't know. I think TikTok has brought us back to a more raw social media experience. Yep. Which I think is really cool. I started posting on my kind videos. I love it. Because like if you remember when Instagram first came out, like, oh my gosh. It was literally filtered people. People were literally like posting this coffee cup Oh, yeah. With a heavy filter on it and it got like millions hundred likes. Yeah. And you're like, Ugh. It's nothing. it's, it's, yeah, it's really nothing. And now you post like the most perfect curated photo dump and it gets 10 likes. Like cool. It did, yeah. And like, just put hours into this. I think it's really cool kind of where we're, we're coming back to. I know. Like our words, it's so unpredictable. Like what social, like what's gonna happen? Yeah. Because the growth of technology has been so passed. Literally that, and it's changed so much and advanced so much. Who knows? I know. Who knows? You just gotta grab the bull by the horns and take advantage of it while it's here. No, literally. That's what I think. Yeah. A hundred percent. Yeah. I do think social media is dangerous, but I also think people put way too much. Um, like emphasis on it. Emphasis on, yeah. What other people are doing, thinking we do that in our normal life anyways. Yep. Um, without social media. Mm-hmm. Um, and if you're already. like down on yourself thinking in that way, social media is not gonna help you. That is something I'm trying to do better about. Like last night I just put my phone away in read. Mm-hmm. and that was so good for me. I felt so refreshed today. Love waking up, love like after doing that. Yeah. And that is gonna be one of my like big goals because I feel like even when I have done like self-care in the past, I've always had my phone by me or you know, who's calling me, who's texting me, like, what's going on? Or I'll scroll Instagram or TikTok while I'm like trying to self-care. And that's not self-care. Like it can be, I guess, but like really disconnecting. Mm-hmm. and just vibing with yourself. I know like one of the best things that I try to do, sometimes I forget or my phone is, Literally about to die. So I have to charge it and my outlet's by my bed. Oh, it's put your phone, it's put my phone on my bookshelf. Yeah. And I have to actually get up and get it. It's gonna sit there and keep going off. Mm-hmm. And usually, like, there has been times where I got back in the bed, but if I put it up at a certain amount of like, like at nine o'clock is like the latest really? Um, and then I just have my Kindle. Yeah. Like usually I'm like, good. Cause I'll go to bed like earlier. Sometimes reading really has me like, yeah. Ooh, it's bad. Um, but reading on my Kindle gets me better rest than reading on my phone. Oh. I read on my phone during the day when I'm at work and stuff. Yeah. But I try to read on my Kindle. Yeah. Majority of the time. Yeah. I feel like This's been a very like, rambly. We were like, we're gonna talk about job hopping and then it's gone. We kind of jumped everywhere. Social media and jobs. It's been good though. It's been really good. It's been a really chatty, rambly little, um, God, but, but it's start to a certain, a new like year though, you know? Yeah. So it's just kind of, you know, going through the things. Yeah. All the things. Yeah. Getting our thoughts together for 2023 and everything. Mm-hmm. Um, cool. Well if y'all have any recommendations mm-hmm. let us know. Yeah. And I will put the, all the products in the description and the things that we talk about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
