“Being honest, one of the disadvantages I had severely up until really only my mid twenties was a lack of ability to plan long term. The broadness of my perspective about the world just didn’t exist, really. And I think, again, that is a little bit of a function of just not having an older role model. The difference between our generation and our parents’ generation, the chasm is so vast that it might as well be a different species.”

“So I didn’t have a massive sense of perspective, really, even now. Like it’s something that I battle against, like, I don’t know where I’m going. So, in order for me to say I didn’t know that I would end up here, it presumes that I understood where I would end up.”

“Internally, it feels like someone pushed me at a top of a set of stairs when I was 18. And I’ve just been controlled falling down this set of stairs for the last like 14 years. Just don’t don’t fall over. Don’t fall over. Don’t fall over. Right, left and right.”

“Whether your values are explicit or not, they’re still guiding your life.”

“There is a very fortunate lesson to take away from that, which is you, you probably don’t know the resilience that you’ve got inside of yourself. And when the time comes, your body will be able to deliver you a sense of fortitude that you didn’t know existed. And that was a that was a beautiful, beautiful lesson this year.”

“Being selfless is one of the most selfish things you can do. Because it makes you feel much better.”
