Shakespeare | There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune...
I think the thing that would keep me up at night, personally, is when everything does get flooded and I make a conscious decision to fight like hell to say where I am. It would keep me up at night wondering where I could have been. It already has. When I went through COVID, I saw so much change, and I feel like we all got flooded
First, let me say that the depth of your post reaches a deeper response from me. Very thought provoking, like, I never thought I would be responding to a shakespearean quote ever. So I thank you and I am truly grateful for that. You know, I love words. They stick out like lights and synthesis to me now. So the three that stuck out were tide, flood and shallow

They get into the shallows, and you see something like blockbuster disappear. Especially when you think, right, like, Netflix tried to sell the blockbuster. They were like, look, like this is. This is it. Like, this is the hottest thing. And look at what happens, like, when we're afraid to step out of the shallows and go with the tide. So I think it's huge, and I think it's very relevant to what I'm gonna talk about today

And I really liked the Shakespeare quote. In my own personal swell cast, I talk a lot about water and the tides and the ocean and feeling like you're drowning. And so this really spoke to me in a lot of different ways, really resonated with a lot of things. And there's just something I wanted to bring up, and you kind of were talking about it when you were speaking about staying up at night, thinking about what you could be

So it drives me, it pushes me and I'm very conscious of it and honestly it has a big part of like why I'm consistent on twelve because I feel like I have a lot of fun here. It helps me open up more and I feel like it helps me open up more in my real life. And I thank you so much for sharing. You have a lovely voice. So thank you for sharing that with us. We really appreciate that. And let's keep pushing each other
