And, um, I, I guess that's how it reached a, a wide number of audience because, um, they're simple concepts and yet it's relatable.

Um, and I've had so much fun making them this year because I got to collaborate with some of, uh, my favorite creators out there, and it's just been, um, yeah, one crazy year for me.
