I always like to turn things on the other side. Okay, great. But what if you are a single shining star that no one else can be? Like, then there is no competition. There's other stars shining in the sky. Yes, but they're not chiffon. They're not Stacy. They're not. And I think that really takes away the competition. Part of it, when I realize who I am is me, and no one else can be me. They might can do things like me. They might can say things like me, but it's never going to be Chiffon. And I think when I work with people or when I'm over in the wedding in a field, they're like, oh, you would say it a certain way. And that's what it is. But it's me. Yes, Chiffon. It's the way I say it. It's you. It stays the way you say it. There's no competition when you know exactly what you do and how you do it and that you're different than anyone else. And you're cool with that because you're going to have to know that you're cool with being different. But, yeah, no one can do me. No one can do you. We're all separate.
