Praise is not a limited commodity. But just when is praise self-serving and when is it justified?
But if I don't have somebody, if somebody doesn't do that for you, whether it's somebody you know or don't know, then you don't get to see that facet of yourself, right? The mirror only shows us so much. And so I think it's important to do that not only for what we're giving to the other person, but it is also like a gift to ourselves

And I think that is exactly the core of what I have been thinking on, which is when is it not about me? I mean, it's everything. All my words are action. I'm creating something when I speak them out. Isn't it all about me? And again, I do not have an answer. I just have this as a question still in my head and your reply kind of reminded me that the question is still there

To remind me that my work is not done yet. So thank you. And I promise next time I'll know when my message is about to end and be better so that it doesn't get clipped like it got this time. Yeah. Thank you. Look forward to interacting
I guess to go back to the imagery, the origami butterfly is going to continue to create me as I create it. So if I create the kind of butterflies without a leash, then that has an impact on me and who I continue to be, as well as the ones that do have a leash. And I guess depending on where I invest more of me in what kinds of compliments I'm giving, then begins to shape me in different ways

And and these are very beautiful interactions. The kids sometimes have a very clear idea of what they have drawn, and they love to share it, saying, hey, this is a gift for me. I drew you a flower, or I drew you this horse. Their parents would very obligingly say, hey, share it. And what I have realized is, at that point, I did not really I was like, okay, they have made something
