The time when my curiosity got the better is when I switched genders!
I worked on making myself more feminine, appearing myself without, you know, just using filters. And I basically discovered this whole other side of myself that was always kind of there, but kind of in more like, it's the weirdest thing, but, like a femme voice sort of manner. Now, I identify more as a girl, and I don't bring up this topic a lot because I know it can be controversial

Hi, Bao. What a sweet, swell cast this is. I absolutely love this. It was so. It was you being vulnerable and sharing yourself, and thank you for doing that. And that applies whether we are transgender or not. And what a happy accident. In the end, it is who we are, and whatever that may be, we cherish and we honor and we love that. And it really is about. Does it make you happy?

Hey, Belle, I second the comments here, and thank you for talking about curiosity as a means of exploration that feels safe and almost playful, and it could expose something very deep and real. But the spirit of it is at first very important to have that spirit of curiosity. It's like that beginner's mindset stuff. It's beautiful. Thank you

This is a good, happy accident. I'm thinking about an happy accident that I've had, and I'm not sure if I've had any. That is so profound and meaningful, such as this one. I really appreciate it. And I really appreciate connecting with you. Thanks
