It is such a profound thought. Live life as if you only have two years left. You survived cancer?
Yes.
What kind of person were you before and who are you now?
Cancer taught me how to not overthink. If I had two years left, would I want to say I stayed in my rent controlled apartment and I continued holding onto this great space that I have? No. I'd want to let it all go. I'd want to let everything go that I own. I want to move to Manhattan and be a dance teacher. And so I'm like, okay, I sold everything and I moved with like $3,000 to New York City. Going through cancer really made me relax and I feel softer. I'm a little bit more of an observer sometimes feel more wallflower y In retrospect, I really like who I became. I like the softer side.
I think this is the definition of a wonderful life, which is, if I only had two years.
Left, I.
Would change nothing.
Yeah.
I want to be here. I want to be doing these friends with this family, doing this thing. Fundamentally.
I'm doing it.
I'm good.
Yeah. Wow, you're right. Just relax a little bit more.
