Today I'm Growing

„I’ve been single for 9 years“ - how I learned to love being single

growingannanas Season 2 Episode 4

Hey there, it's Anna! Today, we're getting real about the single life and all the ups and downs that come with it. Having been on this solo journey myself for quite some time, I've learned a ton from my own experiences and even from my mom's unique take on dating.

In this episode, I'm taking a close look at the pressure of dating and how society makes us feel about being single. It's easy to get lost in the noise of everyone else's relationship status, especially with social media constantly in our faces. But I'm here to share how focusing on my own path—like pouring energy into my business, this YouTube channel, and just bettering myself—has been incredibly freeing and actually a secret to success.

I'll also dive into some of my recent dating stories, like a hike that turned into much more than just a walk in the park, and what I've learned from trying out Hinge. Plus, I'm all about those self-dates lately; they've been eye-opening and full of surprises.

So, grab a comfy spot and let's chat about finding strength and joy in the single life. And remember, this is a two-way street—I can't wait to hear your stories and insights, too. Your experiences are a crucial part of this journey we're on together. Don't forget to hit subscribe and leave a review to keep us growing together!

Speaker 1:

Hey team, welcome back to my podcast Today. I'm growing. I'm so excited to have you here, and I'm especially excited because this is one of the podcast episodes I wanted to record for so long. But it's also one of the podcast episodes that I was really afraid to record, because I have to open up. I have to be honest. I have to share things that I kind of felt ashamed of, and it's so sad, but I really felt ashamed for a really, really long time, because I'm single, and I'm single since a very, very long time. I'm single since more than nine years now. But this also makes me feel like I'm kind of like an expert in talking about how to be single and how to be a happy single, because I truly am. I love my happy, healthy single life and I want to share it with you, and I want to encourage everyone who is single as well that there is nothing to feel ashamed of and there is absolutely nothing to feel bad of just because you're single, maybe since some months, some years, it doesn't matter. There is no need to feel bad about being single. That's what I want to talk about with you today. I want to share the pros and cons of being single with you. I want to share what it means to me being single and I just want to, yeah, talk about it with you. I want to share experiences from the past and I hope you're excited for this podcast episode because I really am.

Speaker 1:

My last relationship had been nine years ago and I'm 28 now, so we ended the relationship when I had been 19,. Let's say like 19, close to 20. And I don't know if I should really count as like a relationship. I mean, it was we had been together for four years but we both had been kids. So we were dating when I still lived at my mom's apartment, he still lived at his parents' house and it was like doing school. So we were really, really young, but we were really in love and he was a really, really good guy. Like he was really nice, he treated me really well, but we were just really really young. And it's crazy now when I think about it, because I never, as like an adult, lived together with someone. I always, after this relationship, like I always had homes alone, like when I moved out of my parents' apartment, of my mom's apartment, then I moved out on my own, like I always lived alone. So I really wonder right now how it's gonna be like when I meet the one, when I meet the right person and we move in together. It must be very, very different. But yeah, we were both in school.

Speaker 1:

We were together for four years and I remember that I just really wanted, after these four years, end the relationship, because I felt like I always had the thought of like this is it? Or I was questioning myself Like this is it because I wanted more. I was so curious about other men, I was so curious about life, about traveling. I wanted freedom and I really felt like with him I don't have that freedom. So after four years I decided to end this relationship. It was really sad because somehow we were still really in love, but there was this inner feeling of me like I wanna end this now and I wanna start doing my own thing. I wanna experience life on my own, I wanna learn more, I wanna grow as a person and that's why I've decided to end this relationship with this guy.

Speaker 1:

But yeah, that was my last real relationship and, of course, in these nine years of being single, I had situationships. I had amazing dates. I met so many amazing people all over the world, but there never had been a situation where I was like, okay, this could be another kind of relationship. So that was my last thing and I talked about that. I really crave this freedom and that's actually one of the pros. When we talk about pros of being single, what are the good sides, then I would definitely say one of the good things, one of the things that I really love and enjoy, is being free, this kind of freedom. I wonder how it's gonna be like if I meet the right person, if I meet the one. I hope I still feel the same kind of freedom, because that's all I want from a relationship.

Speaker 1:

And I quickly wanna share something with you from my mom, because I look up to my mom and I also think the relationship that we see from our parents have a huge impact on us. And right now my mom and dad they're not together anymore. They split up when I was younger, when I was 13 or 14 years old. But now my mom the way she's dating, I really look up to. I really think it's really like. I think it's really cool.

Speaker 1:

So she has a boyfriend, but they both don't live together, they both have their own things. She's traveling alone, she's doing her own things. She has her own hobbies, and the same for him. He's traveling alone, he has his own hobbies, and I don't know if I want that straight from the beginning on. Like I'm so young right now. Maybe one day I wanna have a family. But I can imagine also that he has his own apartment and I have my own apartment and if we wanna spend time together then we can, and if we don't wanna hang out together, then we don't have to Like, then we all have our own space. So that's what I see from my mom's life and I kind of like that. I really like that she's so independent and that she really has her own life.

Speaker 1:

But what I mean by I don't know if I'm ready for this right now because I'm so young is that if I wanna have a family, then I kind of feel like we should have a home together and share a space together. But at the same time I also really wanna have my own space and I hope he has his own space and his own hobbies and his own life. But I really look for a relationship in future where I feel free, where I get that kind of freedom. Freedom to me means that I have enough time to pursue all my goals, all my dreams, that I wake up in the morning, look at my vision board and that I can work on all those visions, that I have. Freedom to me also means that I can just do whatever whenever I want. For example, if I wanna go out for dinner right now, then I wanna have the freedom to just go out for dinner. And if the person wants to share this experience with me and wants to go out for dinner with me, then I'm so happy. But if the person doesn't, then I also wanna have the freedom to just go and do my own thing.

Speaker 1:

I think after nine years of being single, you really get used to doing your own thing. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing. I don't even know what's good, what's bad, who knows. Always do what feels right to you. But after being single for such a long time, I really feel like I've adapted that kind of mindset that I wanna do my own thing. And it's really hard for me to make compromises, even though I know one day, if I'm gonna be in a relationship, I have to make compromises, and maybe I wanna make compromises too. Maybe I'm happy to do that. But right now, yeah, I'm really living my own life on my own timeline, and that's kinda what I mean by freedom, what I mean when I'm saying I want to be free, I want to have this freedom doing whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want.

Speaker 1:

Another pro of being single is time. I feel like in the last nine years, I really got a lot of time time that I was able to invest in myself. So get to knowing myself was really, really, really important. I feel like, especially in my 20s and as a single 20-year-old being single for years, I got so much time to think about who I am, and I don't want to say that I know who I am every single day. Right now, I still have so many days where I sit in a room and I'm like who am I? Who the hell am I? I don't know. But I feel like I still have found myself so much more and I feel like I understand now so much better what I want in life, what my goals are, what my values are. So being single definitely helped me to get to know myself so much better, and I can imagine a lot of you listening right now also questioning yourself a lot of times who am I Like?

Speaker 1:

A lot of times, this question pops up into your head and into your mind and you freak out and you don't know what you want, you don't know what your goals are. First of all, I want to remove the pressure from you. It's so normal. It's so normal to have these thoughts and these questions in your head. But I want to encourage you if you're single or not, if you're in a relationship or not, I want to encourage you that you really try to get to know yourself better and really ask yourself questions, be curious about yourself. I think one of the most important things in life is to get to know yourself better and to really know what you want in life, not what anyone else wants. It's important that you figure out what you want, what your goals are, what your values are.

Speaker 1:

I think I talked a lot about in the previous podcast episodes how I love to write, how I love to journal, and I just want to say in this podcast episode today, I want to talk about writing. I don't want to talk about journaling, but writing to me means just writing down your thoughts, setting goals, making plans, making action plans, and writing to me is so powerful. I love writing. I love writing things down on a piece of paper with a pen. I just love it. I feel like it's such a relief sometimes, because sometimes we get stuck in our head, we start to overthink, we start to feel overwhelmed and we have all these questions in our head but not really answers to it, and I feel like writing things down is so powerful. No matter what's on your mind right now, just write it down. Get a piece of paper, write it down, and it helps so much with getting to know yourself better.

Speaker 1:

I asked myself a lot of questions in the last couple of years. Most of them had been focused on business, because that was one of the things I really focused on in the last couple of years, and I also want to talk about that quickly, because I, of course, I asked myself a lot of times why I'm single for so long and if there's something wrong with me, if I'm not pretty enough, if I'm not good enough, if I'm not skinny enough, if I'm not beautiful enough. I asked myself so many questions and I was self-conscious about myself. I had self-doubts, but now, thinking back, I think I just never made it a priority to even go on dates. Like, of course, I went on dates and I had fun and it was cool, but at the same time, it was often just because I felt pressure to go on dates. I felt the pressure from my friends, from family, because they were like you're single for so long, are you not dating? Why are you not dating? They just made me feel like I have to. So I went on dates but, yeah, I didn't really enjoy it and it was just not a priority of mine.

Speaker 1:

I prioritized myself, I prioritized my business, my YouTube channel, this podcast here, all the work that I do, working on my dreams and goals. I really prioritized that in the last couple of years and I think it's okay. Looking back now, I think it was the best decision because I was able to grow an amazing community. I was able to make friends and business partners all over the world and it's just amazing when I look back and I'm so proud of it. But this had been my priorities in the last couple of years and I think that's okay and I encourage everyone to set their own priorities, like, who says what kind of priorities you should have? Relationships and dating shouldn't be a priority. You set your own priorities and if it's business, if it's self-development, if it's friendships, I don't know, whatever it is, go for it. You set your own priorities and I think that's so important to understand for yourself that you are your own CEO of your own life and you can go for it, no matter what other people think of you or what other people say to you.

Speaker 1:

A couple of times now I mentioned how I felt pressure from others, like even friends that I truly love and I'm sure they love me as well but sometimes they just said some things that really put pressure on me, that really made me feel like there's something wrong with me because I'm single, especially because I'm single for such a long time. Also, often now when I think back, I just went on dates because of what they were saying, because they made me feel bad. I just went on dates and then I just went on that date to kind of have a story to tell and to kind of have just something to tell to them and be like, hey, I went on this date and it was so cool, it was so exciting. I just went on the date because they wanted me to do that, but I didn't really want to go. So now when I think back, I'm like why did I do that?

Speaker 1:

I also, at the end of this podcast episode, I'm going to share my current thoughts about dating and my current thoughts about being in relationships. But yeah, let's keep going with some pros on about being single. One of the last things that I want to mention here is that I talked a lot about time. I talked a lot about freedom.

Speaker 1:

One of the main things I feel like is also a huge pro and a huge benefit is you get the chance or you get the opportunity or you get the time to start loving yourself, and I think the most important love that you have in this life is the love that you have for yourself, that you have for your body, self-acceptance, self-love, and I know it's a huge topic. It's a huge topic on social media, it's a huge topic everywhere, because we all want to know how to love ourselves, and it's easier said than done, I know that, but whatever it means to you loving yourself, I think it's such an important thing, and it's an important thing before you step into your relationship, your first relationship or one of your relationships, I think it's so important that you start to love yourself first and in these nine years of being single, I really had to learn to love myself. I really got the chance and I got the opportunity and the way I did that, I think there are no rules, there are no like, there's no strategy plan that you can do to start loving yourself. But I think what helped me was a lot of acceptance, a lot of journaling, a lot of writing thoughts down, a lot of acceptance. When I did that, there had been so many days.

Speaker 1:

Believe me when I say that, especially working in the fitness industry, I think accepting your body, accepting the way how you look, is really, really hard and to me it had been one of the hardest things. I always compared my body to others. I always compared my body to other people on social media, to other trainers, to other fitness influencers. It had been really, really tough and hard and I always thought for a really long time that my body is my value. I always thought I only get subscribers and followers, I can only build a community if I look a certain way. That's what I thought for such a long time, and the way I present myself on social media definitely has changed and I also feel like my content has changed, so I'm not just posting my body after a workout in the perfect light with the perfect abs. I think it also has changed in general, which I'm so grateful for. It also has changed with reels, video formats, so it's not just posing in front of the mirror and showing off. I really like that. I really like that transition, and I think people are also more open about this is not reality. Like, people share more of the real world, more of their real bodies not everyone, but a lot of people do and I think that's a great change. That's a great thing that's happening in the online world right now or on social media right now. But yeah, accepting my body, especially on social media, being a content creator in the fitness industry, was a really long and hard journey, and I think it's not just me as a creator, as a fitness creator, I think everyone here listening right now can relate.

Speaker 1:

I'm sure you had times when you open social media and you compared your body or your life to someone else and comparison. I think it's just the enemy of self-love, because how should you love yourself and your body If you compare yourself or your body to someone else? It just doesn't work because you are you and you are so unique. You have your own past, your own history, your own body, your own mind. Like it's so hard or it's impossible to compare you you as this unique, special person to anyone else. I think once you have developed this kind of mindset, once you start accepting yourself and understanding how special you are because you are so unique, I think then you've done the right steps and the first steps towards loving yourself, loving who you are and the person that you are, and you can finally accept and find peace within yourself. I think that's one of the most beautiful things, and every single one listening right now no matter if you're single, no matter if you're in a relationship I really hope you can find this kind of self-love for yourself, for your body, for your mind, for yourself.

Speaker 1:

I also learned that it's really important if you want to love yourself, if you want to be in a relationship with yourself, if we can say that. And I also learned it's really important to build your own kind of environment that encourages you to be yourself, and what I mean by that is that sometimes you have people in your life that kind of force you to change yourself. If you know what I mean. There are people who put pressure on you, that stress you and that make you feel like you should not be yourself, and I think once you notice that like once you notice that in your friend circle or within your family, you have to make a cut, you have to step away from those people because they will always make you feel bad. They will never make you feel better. It's really important that you make a cut and that you step away from those kind of people or from those kind of negative energies. So I really learned that in order to love myself, it's really important to be in the right environment.

Speaker 1:

I want people around me that support me and that love me for who I am, no matter if I wear makeup or the right outfits or do the things that they expect me to do. No, I just want to be me. I just want to be me and I want to be accepted for that. I want to be loved for that. By saying all those things, I feel so strong right now, I feel so confident right now, and I also think being single as the last pro right now made me a lot more like. It made me feel a lot more confident and a lot more like strong.

Speaker 1:

I feel stronger, I feel like independent, I feel like I don't need anyone necessarily to do things. I can do everything that I want on my own as well, and it's not that I want to do everything on my own. I want to share things, I want to share experiences and I want to share life with people, with friends or with someone that I love, with my future partner but it's also a great feeling to know that I can also do things on my own. I'm strong enough. I don't necessarily need someone. I hope that makes sense and I hope that encourages everyone here listening right now who is single as well. I hope it makes you feel a little bit better and I hope it makes you feel like. I hope it makes you see the benefits and the pros of being single. So every single thing in this world has pros, but when it has pros, it also has cons, and, of course, being single being single for a really long time has a lot of cons too.

Speaker 1:

I would lie if I would say that I never feel lonely, and there's a difference as well. Feeling lonely. You can also feel lonely in a relationship, definitely. I talked about this in the last podcast episode that being alone and feeling lonely are two different kinds of things. But not being in a relationship, not having someone that I can share things with, especially in the evenings.

Speaker 1:

Throughout the day, throughout the week, I'm always busy. I work on my own things, I do all my work that I want to do, but there are so many moments, especially after being done with work, where I have to turn on Netflix on my own and I have to watch things on my own and I have to eat dinner on my own. And something really interesting that I just found out for myself and I don't know if it's scientifically proven or not, but it's something that I figured out for myself when it comes to eating, when it comes to eating dinner especially I tend to eat more than I usually would. So breakfast is fine, lunch is fine, but when it comes to dinner, I tend to overeat. I tend to eat more, and, especially in the last time, in the last weeks and months, I tried to figure out why that is. And the funny thing is, for example, now we're traveling, so right now I'm traveling.

Speaker 1:

I'm recording this podcast episode in my closet here in LA. So I'm currently in LA and I'm here with Juju. She is helping me with content and we live together. So we live together here in an apartment, we share our space and we almost every single night have dinner together and I'm not overeating and I'm so satisfied with every single dinner because we sit together at the dinner table and we have conversations, we share things about life, about how the day was. It's just really, really wonderful and I'm not overeating. I haven't had one single day here where I was overeating and then feeling so full that I kind of feel like, damn, why did I do that?

Speaker 1:

And it makes me think that maybe sometimes it's not that I'm overeating because I'm so hungry. I'm starving throughout the day because I'm definitely not, but I'm just lonely. I just feel lonely sometimes, especially when it gets dark, when it's time for dinner, when it's time for more stepping away from work and just relax and just be, if you know what I mean. So it has downsides. This is one of the cons that I miss sometimes having someone to do things together, like just eating dinner. I don't want to do crazy things all the time, even though that's also what I really look forward to, and being a relationship and having a partner to share experiences with, I really look forward to doing fun things.

Speaker 1:

I said before, of course, I can do everything on my own. I could rent a car right now and travel around America on my own and just see all these amazing places and eat amazing food all over the world, but I could also do it with someone and share it with someone, and that's kind of what I miss sometimes. And traveling with friends, of course, is also so much fun and I just love it. I love hanging out with my friends, but it's different Having a romantic partner trip compared to being with friends and hanging out with them. It both has kind of like a fun side to it, but you know what I mean, next to feeling lonely or having no one to share your thoughts, your feelings, your experiences with. So, next to that, another thing that I think as well is a con as the social pressure from others, and I've said that now a couple of times in this podcast episode, but I want to mention it again the social pressure that I sometimes feel like from people that love me, like my friends, my family, but also media, and I'm not just talking about social media, but also movies.

Speaker 1:

I watch so many movies because I love movies and I love also series, like series is is that the word? You know what I mean. But I also love to watch things on Netflix, and I love to watch reality shows. Oh my God. Right now, I'm so in my dating show era. I love to watch dating shows. I don't know why, but if I can give you a recommendation right now, in between, I'm going to sneak it in here Singles and Fano it's just so good. On Netflix, it's this Korean dating show and it's so different to anything else that I've ever seen. But, yeah, recommendation here.

Speaker 1:

Anyways, I love to watch all these things, but every single time when I watch these kind of things, I feel like a little bit left out and I feel like I should have that too. So I feel the pressure that there is something wrong with me. There is something wrong with being single, and I think that's also a con, but that's also something that you are the only person who can change your mindset towards. That. You're the only person who can watch a romantic movie and be like, hey, that's cool, but that doesn't mean that being single has to feel lonely, or that being single, that there is something wrong with you. Because, one more time, something that I really, really want to mention here is that there is nothing wrong with being single. There is nothing wrong with being single for a really really long time. There's nothing wrong with you Fact.

Speaker 1:

So, last but not least, chae, to end this fun podcast episode, I hope you have fun. So far, I have a lot of fun talking about this and I said to you at the beginning of this episode that I felt ashamed of talking about it. But now I feel kind of like an expert. I kind of feel like I'm the single expert after being single for so long time and I can't be open about it because there is nothing wrong with it. And the last thing I want to share with you now is, after nine years, after traveling for like 12 hours from Germany to LA here for the first time, I really feel like I'm kind of ready. I'm kind of ready to date again. So that's also what I do here and I have to say it's kind of fun.

Speaker 1:

And I had a conversation with JuJu the other day and we were like she was asking me like how do you have fun doing that? Also, you haven't dated for so long. You had months of not dating. It's also cool to not date. But how do you have fun now dating? And I don't know. To be honest, I really don't know why I feel like it's so much fun. Maybe because I'm more ready than ever, maybe because it's a little bit more on my priority list than it ever had been. But I also, when it comes to dating, when it comes to set updates, I'm so in peace with myself and I'm like so in the mindset of like I'm just me and I just show up without any kind of pressure, without any kind of stress.

Speaker 1:

I'm really not nervous meeting someone right now because I'm just me and I'm just sharing whatever I want to share about my life, about things that I've done in the past, and I'm super curious about the other person. I just want to get to know someone and talk about what his values are and his goals are. So I'm super curious about other people. I just want to have a fun time, I want to have fun conversations, I want to learn from someone. So that's kind of what I do right now.

Speaker 1:

I am dating right now and it's kind of like an addiction, I have to say so. I had a date yesterday, we were out last week and I met someone. So it's really, really fun. It's also fun when you open yourself up a little bit and when you are how to say that, right now. It's really interesting to me because I had months, and I had even like a year, when I didn't met anyone where I was like that could be something or I was like interested in. But now, when you open up yourself and when you put it a little bit high on your priority list, life kind of brings you conversations and brings you people in your life, which is super, super interesting. But yeah, I opened myself up to the dating world and I really enjoy it and I have fun. You know why? Because I have no expectations. So I'm not going into a date and be like this is going to be the future partner that I want to spend the rest of my life with. No, I just want to have fun. And it also makes me feel again like a little bit more confident and stronger, in a way of like I'm so confident right now that I can show up there and just do it. And the thing is there is nothing that can go wrong with Like nothing. And here's a pro tip for everyone listening right now on setting updates.

Speaker 1:

I think it's important to do something that you enjoy because, first of all, it's easier for you like the whole environment, you're used to it. For example, going on a walk, like to me, that's the best thing and that's what I always suggest. So if you want to date me, you'll have to go on a walk with me. Like yesterday, we went on a little hike and I was kind of sorry because he wasn't like super active and super fit, so I think he was also nervous, so he was a little bit out of breath, but I'm hiking every single day here, so I was so used to it. It was kind of mean, but that also made it so much more fun because we were also doing something that I think he also enjoyed. So it was like a comfortable environment. We did something that I would never, ever regret, and I mean, what do you have to lose if you go on a walk or if you go on a hike with someone and you have a good conversation? There's nothing to lose. So if you want to date right now, then do it, and I don't have really tips on how to find the right dates.

Speaker 1:

I do it online. I'm one of the people who just downloads a dating app and just tries to swipe and find the right person to go on a date with. Right now, I use the app hinge. I really like it. I can recommend it. But yeah, I'm just thinking right now. There are other ways to find people as well, something that I haven't tried. But I really, really want to be brave enough to one day walk over to someone and be like hey, you look really nice, just start a conversation and then maybe end up having a date with this person. I don't know. I'm kind of thinking of going to Whole Foods one day, like this is a fancy supermarket here, and just be in there and wait for someone and then go over and be like hey, you look really cute. Like what are you up to tonight? Whatever, I haven't done this, and this is now me talking about it. It's not that I have done it already, but I hope I can share a story with you that I was so confident and so brave that I walked over to someone and just started the conversation. If you want to go on a date, I hope this helped you right now and I encourage you to just have fun and to not take it too serious. But, on the other hand, if you don't want to go on dates, if you're single and you don't want to date right now, then I also cheer for you because you don't have to. You don't have to go on dates. Don't feel the pressure that you have to go on dates if you don't have time right now, if you don't want to make time for it, because that's also totally fine, that's absolutely okay too. Also, if you want to go on dates but not with someone else, I can also quickly encourage you to go on dates with yourself.

Speaker 1:

Like date yourself. It is one of the most amazing things also to learn more about yourself, learn more about who you are and what you want in life. You can try so many different things and figure out new hobbies, like find new hobbies. It's really, really great to date yourself. I have done it in Berlin a couple of times. I even went out the other day for a dinner by myself. It was so fun. It was really cool. The random thing about it is I ended up being not alone because I met this other girl and we were chatting. She was like I watch your videos and then the solar day turned out to be like a friend date like a once follower, now friend date. It was super fun. We had an amazing conversation. I really appreciate her coming over to say hi and then hanging out with me and having dinner with me. It was really fun. But solar dates go on a hike by yourself, go out for dinner by yourself, go to the cinema alone why not? It's really fun to spend time on your own and you should also date yourself, no matter if you're single or in a relationship. I think it's always a good plan. We're almost at the end of this episode team.

Speaker 1:

I want to share my thoughts of my future relationship, what I want from that, because I talked a lot about the pros of being single, about all the things that I really loved in the last nine years, how much time and freedom I had. Now thinking of going on dates, meeting the right person, I think what I want in my future relationship is that I still get my freedom. I still want to do the things that I want to do. I still want to have my goals and my dreams. I always want to have that on top of my priority list myself my dreams, my goals. I want to have my freedom. I want to have time for it, but I also want to have someone who I can share it with. I'm really curious to see how all of this comes together, because I can't imagine having support what I mean? Being supported by someone and someone who is encouraging me to go even crazier and even further. But I also want to support someone. I can't just expect to get all the support from me without supporting each other, without supporting the other person. I'm curious to see how it all comes together.

Speaker 1:

If you have any tips for me or if you have any stories for me, let me know on Instagram. Send me a DM, tell me about your relationship story and tell me about your relationship. If you have a happy, healthy relationship, if you still have all the freedom that you need, how does it work? I'm really curious and I'm really excited to see how this future relationship for me is going to look like. Wow, I'm out of breath right now.
