I was able to. Living in the thrill of excitement. Yes. Without really going deeper and making sure the values aligned. That's right. And then later you learn about the values and you're like, oh, but now I'm stuck in this and I can't get out and I'm afraid to be alone now. So I was living in fear or excitement. But it wasn't like grounded certainty. And I think when you get into relationships, you just said it. When you start dating someone, you're never certain it's going to work out. But it was more of like, I'm certain I'm going to be okay no matter what happens. You know what I mean? It was like I'm certain. Yes. If we don't align, then I want the best for her and I want the best for me. Yeah. And I was certain that I was okay. Yes. No matter what.
