I think as a kid, I was probably more difficult than my parents would have wanted if they told me hey this is you know I think you should try this I would usually try something else and I think they finally just let me make my own mistakes and be like it doesn't matter what we tell him because he's gonna go do his own thing anyways and so I think as a as a kid I grew up with two older brothers and watch them try things. And as I've matured and kind of become an adult, um, I've just learned, I, for me, I don't think it works for everybody, but for me, I function best by just doing stuff myself, making my own mistakes and not necessarily taking advice from everybody.
