Okay.

2020 happened.

Um, literally up until that moment, up until that point, I was holding it all.

Holding it all, stuffing it, just trying to outrun and run from grief, primarily because I didn't know how to process it and didn't know what to do with it.

So 2020, we were shut in our homes with ourselves to deal with ourselves, and so that was really the pivotal point for me really saying, "I have to do something with this." Because every time I turn on, you know, you turn on the news, death was staring everyone really in the face.

And so we were all experiencing loss at that time, and it was really so in our faces, like death, loss, dying.

And then there was so much chaos in the world, political year on top of a lot of racial things that were going on, and so it was like you couldn't, I couldn't hide from grief even though I was running from it.

Yeah.
