In general, I'm a very caring person. Like, if I rub you the wrong way and I know it, I want to try to— I want to try to figure it out. Okay. Like, it's not my thing to like run around and be like old school funky and having problems with it, because I come from the streets. And where I come from, even though it's been a long time ago, but people get hurt, right? If we take a stance that I don't like you, where I come from, If I don't like you and you don't like me, that like, that equates to something and it's usually violence. When I got into the work environment, I remember being shocked to the core. I promise you, because when I got to work, when I like, so when I stopped doing what I was doing and I was moving my way into a legitimate lifestyle, I thought I was safe.
