I'm learning Spanish right now. Oh yeah. And I'm trying to change my language around it being exhausting. Yeah. And being hard. Yeah. Because I think the more I say that, it's going to continue to reinforce that it's exhausting and challenging. So I've been trying the last few months to say, you know what? This is a phone experience. You know, this is an experiment. It's challenging, but it's a good challenge. And I'm learning every time.
