I think sometimes we can get really down, and I can get down on myself and my own career. I'm very career driven as someone who opted not to have children and can't have pets. I do have plants now, so I am approaching 40. And the one thing that I always try to go back to is like I live in central London and get paid to make people laugh. And maybe I've never even left the country. Some of them don't have passports. Yeah. And I am so proud that I accidentally wound up living in London, which is totally an ADHD thing. I saw an opportunity. Yeah, I've been here now for nine years. And it's just like, I can't believe that this is my life sometimes. Yeah. Like I can just on an afternoon walk and do it here and do a podcast and go home and hopefully my hot water works. But yeah, a thing I love about myself is where I wound up yeah, and even though it might not be everything I've ever dreamed it would be when I was a kid it is a very special place and I feel very lucky to be here
