You always need that. 362 00:15:50.679 --> 00:15:53.159 I feel like I'm just getting started. I gotta fight 363 00:15:53.200 --> 00:15:53.720 my way. 364 00:15:53.519 --> 00:15:56.159 Out of this. Yeah, for sure, to win. I feel 365 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:57.919 like you got to. You got to keep that mental 366 00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.120 feel me. Otherwise, like the like love for everything just 367 00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:04.000 dies down, the love and the passion. Is it easy 368 00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:06.440 to lose that, like especially when Yeah, for sure, for sure, 369 00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:08.480 I was. I was thinking about it. I was like 370 00:16:08.480 --> 00:16:10.399 that was there was a little point between the short 371 00:16:10.480 --> 00:16:12.480 line breakup, But I don't think it was just that. 372 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:14.679 It's just like life changes and you're not around the 373 00:16:14.679 --> 00:16:16.799 same circles and you're not doing what you used to do, 374 00:16:16.879 --> 00:16:19.039 so like life is different. So it's kind of like 375 00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.639 it feels like weird. But on top of that, I 376 00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:23.320 was like, I just realized I lost a lot of 377 00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.679 good people at that very time in my life. So 378 00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:27.559 I don't know if it was like I was going 379 00:16:27.600 --> 00:16:30.000 through depression. I was going through a lot. Like all 380 00:16:30.080 --> 00:16:32.200 my life was changing. I was like, it was my 381 00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.519 first time living like in the suburbs. All my hommies 382 00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:36.960 is dying, Like it was a lot going on in 383 00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:39.519 my life. Yeah, a lot of change was going on. 384 00:16:39.639 --> 00:16:40.799 It was uncomfortable. 385 00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:44.919 It wasn't that you might be going through like possibly 386 00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:47.200 what it was depression. Like after the fact. 387 00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:49.799 I just realized that, like a few months ago, I 388 00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:51.960 was on tour with a through another baby and he 389 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:54.559 like a baby therapist, Like man, he was just having 390 00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:57.399 like a lot of deep conversations. And then I was 391 00:16:57.440 --> 00:17:00.159 just like, yeah, I just realized I was depressed and 392 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.480 now I'm happy. Like I think that's how this project 393 00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.400 was also like sell fired because I'm like it was 394 00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:08.799 like I was getting my spark back. Yeah, yeah, that 395 00:17:08.839 --> 00:17:09.519 spark was there. 396 00:17:09.599 --> 00:17:11.720 I forgot how to be creative. I forgot to do 397 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:13.519 a lot of stuff. Yeah, I think that's I was 398 00:17:13.559 --> 00:17:16.519 just like I don't pilot. I felt like that happened 399 00:17:16.559 --> 00:17:18.839 to a lot of people, especially creatives. Of course, right 400 00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:22.480 that writer's block or that you know, that's just that 401 00:17:22.480 --> 00:17:24.720
