Episode notes

My mom for sure instilled that I'm different and that it's okay and that I should honor it because I'm happy with it so these new things that come out my curiosity towards any new technology or any new ways of being that I see that I'm curious about is why I take selfies. People hate on what's different until it works and then they call that person the pioneer, he says. He doesn't have a same experience of like I don't consciously remember my mom reinforcing all that shit into me
