I love that, you know, like that last line, why shouldn't we laugh? And it also isn't the intensity, like what Leah says, like, I don't go home at night and go, oh my God, why couldn't I save that person? There's a real sense of like, okay, universe, God, spirit, whatever you believe, like I hope that person's okay. I hope, you know, I hope they find what they're looking for, you know, and then really caring about other people's experience. Caring about people is still new to me.
