One of the things that was the.
Hardest for me.
Was, you know, with my father not being around, my mom working a lot, is I don't feel like I really felt a safe space of love when I was a kid.
I didn't feel.
Like it was just there.
And omnipresent.
Like my wife, you know, her mom and dad are still together. She's got her two sisters. They're all really close. We were never really close. So I never really had that. And so we've been together now for 10 years.
In the first couple years, she was.
Way more loving.
And I couldn't open.
Up to the love. Like it was hard for me to, because I felt like my nervous system was like, what's going on? This person's too close to me. It almost didn't feel safe for you because it was unfamiliar. A hundred percent, even though it should be the safest feeling. Right, right. But you're like also afraid of it. Right. You want it, but you don't want it. Yeah. And so it was like me noticing different aspects of myself, like, I'm not as loving as I think I probably truly am or what I could be.
So let me, that was a part.
Of me I didn't like. And so I was like, how do I open myself up to be a little bit more loving?
