I feel like making observational statements is okay. I think some people might not take it the best, but observing like, hey, from my perspective, it seems like you're partying a little hard. Or making suggestive statements of like, not even mentioning anything that we're doing but mentioning maybe good ideas and good practices that you think would be healthier decisions. It's hard because it's a festival, it's a big party, right? I don't think there's a right or wrong, but did you feel judged by us at that event? No, I definitely could tell you guys were a little worried and weren't super stoked with my partying. But I also know that you guys see the potential in me living a sober life.
