Sometimes it's laughable in the sense that it's going to get snatched out of your hands regardless. And the thing is, it hurt a lot less if you didn't hold on to it so tightly, like with a rope, basically. And once you just go ahead and accept this, this fact and then just, you know, embrace these, these little parts of yourself little by little every day

And, you know, you talk about the mask, and I think we all wear one in some shape or fashion, but some masks really came off whenever my mom passed. And some very hurtful things were said to me that really took me back. And I had to. I sat with those thoughts and feelings, but I let them go because I knew I was being the best I could be. I was being the best version, my best authentic self

What I believe it really stops people the most from being their true, authentic self is that they're afraid that they're going to make someone unhappy. So, you know, it almost comes down to wearing a mask just to be a people pleaser
