And then when I'm done, I'm just like, Oh, my God, I did something. I didn't have to start a new business. But I got that feeling, you know, and also, you know, I think people, I just want to say this, you know, you see people taking these trips and it's like, you don't even like to travel like that. That's not even your jam. That's not even what you do, you know. I have shared with people. I think I shared this in one of my Instagram lives that when I first started making like money that I had never made before, I just, I walked into one of these sacks and even Marcus and I promise you, Kobe, it was like this, this purse. I think it was just like $5,500. And I promise you, it was like the light was shining on it, but it felt like the lights from heaven. It's shining down on this purse. And it was like, and it was just this voice that was just like, you can afford that. You can, you know, and I still to this day, I hate that purse. It is sitting in the back of my backpack closet. I was like, this thing's horrendous. I just wanted to prove that I could. Yes. And that was just like such a huge lesson. And it's just like, you know what, my leak, there are some things that you're going to be able to do that. You will just have to know in your heart that you can and you do not have to decorate yourself with things to try to show people what you can do. And it's just like, you could do that. Yeah, you could afford that. But like, so what, you know, I mean, do you want it? I don't even need what to buy it. Do you want to have it? And this, this idea, I think the other thing that I realized is that like, I don't even have the lifestyle for some of the stuff that like, I love looking at people wearing these bomb looks online, like the outfits, the whole situation. It's like, first of all, first of all, yeah, I'm still in the stage where my kids are touching all over my clothes.
