If someone was listening, let's say that there's a youngster listening, even if it's just one, man, if you can help one, seriously or some adult that knows a situation what would you say to

them right now i mean the the biggest thing i feel like i could say is that you know no matter how bad it might seem it will get better you know um there's a lot there's a lot of times you know where you know i thought that i wouldn't even be here the next day you know there's a lot of times that i thought that there was a good chance that you know me and my brothers weren't going to get fed that night um but looking back at that now, it makes me so much more grateful for everything that I have.

And I think it's just, you know, being grateful for what you have in the moment, no matter how bad it is, waking up that next day, being there, being on your feet, you know, just being grateful for every step you take, every breath you take, just, being grateful for the moment and knowing that the next day will be better and if it's not that next day is going to be better and eventually if you you know you tell yourself enough your days will get better um and you know there's always more there's always more to life there's there's so much to live for and I think you know being 23 now and and you know being through so much I feel like you know I'm I'm pretty mature for my age and I feel like I've kind of opened up that aspect of my life to where I understand what really matters.

And, you know, baseball is a game.

It's not who I am.

And I'm just very grateful for what it's given me and for what life has given me.

The one that stands out, yeah.

Yeah, so I have my whole back done, and it's basically an illustrative interpretation of the duel between Miyamoto Musashi and Kyojiro Sasaki, which is basically the biggest duel, like the most known duel in all of Japan history.
