I always wanted to be like, happy rich one day. Like, there was something always there. I always had some kind of hustle to try to figure out how to make a couple bucks. I was selling all kinds of things as a kid, you know what I mean? Like, there was something there. Yep. Where's that come from? Because that, like, some people, some people innately know that, like, they're going to do something special one day, you know? Yeah, I didn't, I didn't quite imagine. Now what I imagine is light years ahead of what I can even remotely touch. Yeah. Um, you know, because I've just given what's happened with my limited vision, I'm like, imagine if I think big, what could happen, you know? So I don't— I'm not 100% sure.
