I've gotten to know a lot of you guys in a way I never got to know you before. My alcoholic mind told me that these people know, and I'm not, I'm, I'm specifically not looking at anybody right now. My alcoholic mind told me that, you know, these people are this way and that way. And I saw that those people that I thought were this way or that way were, were, were so much deeper and so much more amazing than I imagined them to be.
