So as you start approaching this 18 mark and as you're talking about when you accepted this about yourself, was there a particular moment when you were 18 that all the feelings sort of came crashing down or was it a gradual process somewhere in that 18 time frame?
11:34
yeah so this is where it gets interesting because you know at that point when i was 17 18 years old i had worked so much on myself that i was very comfortable with myself i knew what i stood for knew what my moral complex were i knew a bunch of things about myself and there was a very big difference between how i looked and my capabilities versus the other people Because if a 17 year old guy can fucking bench press 140 kilo and deadlift 260 or whatever the fuck at that point.

Well, my presence, my physical presence, it meant a lot because who was going to disagree with me when I said, this is me, right? So this will, everything will tie together once we progress on the story.
12:23
So I was searching, I always have had the quest for truth.
12:27
I was searching a lot through what humans were, why humans did what they did, what their behaviors were, because I wanted really to understand humans, especially when I was 18.
12:39
I think that drive came from, I learned copywriting when I was 16 and I did some clients, that sort of thing in that teenage period.
12:50
And when you're doing copywriting, you really got to pay attention to what your audience needs are and really understand your audience better than they understand themselves.
