I wish I could delegate sleep, if I could, because I'm just ready to go. People say, that's bad. And it's because we have this culture now that's just moved towards avoidance as a socially acceptable thing that you do rather than confronting the problems in your life. We avoid them and we have made it normal. And I think a lot of people see what I do, and they see how much I work and they see how integrated my life is with my work, and they say, you know, what about your mental health? They're always asking me, they're like, are you happy? And I'm like.
