It's something that's coming from the the inside out. And, yeah, I definitely know that I'm not alone in this. I know that societal norms are shifting and changing and that a lot of it is, like, programming of, like, okay, well, you're supposed to go to college and then get a job and then get married and then have children and retire. And I feel like all of that is changing. So thank you for sharing this
