A Prophetic POV ft. SOS Ep. 20

Meet my someone special, my buddy Yah! What began as a simple encounter turned into a meaningful connection. Though he’s currently unhoused, Yah has a rare depth of intellect and perspective that challenges and inspires me in so many ways. In this episode, we talk about life, connection, and the beauty of human understanding all through his prophetic POV. I hope you can get a glimpse of the bond we've created together and the genuine joy we each bring to each others lives.

Go back and listen to episode 1 to hear how it all started. 

Transcript

SPEAKER_01 0:06

Hello, I'm Emily Johnson and you're listening to Comfortably Uncomfortable. This podcast explores the growth, the clarity, and all the beauty that comes along with getting a little uncomfortable. Through personal stories and everyday challenges, we're learning that growth doesn't come from perfection, but from consistency, progress, and vulnerability. If you're choosing growth over comfort and learning to adapt instead of staying complacent, welcome back. It's time to get comfortably uncomfortable. Before getting into this special episode, I wanted to just kind of share with you what you could expect. A couple weeks ago, I mentioned the idea of having a conversation with my buddy Yahweh, my new buddy, someone who stays around where I live and is currently without a home. Some people might assume that this episode is focusing on his life story or the circumstances that led him to the position he's in, but that's not what this is at all. It's more so just an organic conversation, kind of the same way that I bring other friends onto this podcast, you know, to share their perspectives and their energy and their way of seeing the world. That's what Yah's bringing to this episode. So yeah, I think that this episode has the potential to be really impactful because it shines a light on things like connection and community and kindness. And I was kind of intentional about including some side conversations that happened just so you can kind of get a visual of him and I sitting on the bench and just different people walking by in the community who had, you know, interactions with Yah specifically, but because I was there too, I you know chimed in at times. Um, but yeah, I also want to mention um the depths of Yah's mind. Um, to really understand what he's saying and how he ties things together or even just thinks, you really have to listen differently, like almost listen with a philosophical, even metaphysical point of view. Um, he goes deep and a lot of the stuff that he was saying almost didn't really make sense to me sometimes until I really took a second to understand what he was saying. Um, so I will say I do encourage you to, if there's something that feels like it doesn't make sense, go back 15 seconds and try to listen to it again because um he really does bring everything full circle in a very intellectual way. You'll obviously, you know, have your own perception of it when you listen to it. Um this audio was about two and a half hours that I brought into an hour. So there's definitely some things that are left out. Also, there is a conversation that we had with another person who was pretty much part of our conversation for like 20 minutes, but I couldn't include what he was talking about. However, I did put some pieces of that conversation in there just because later on in the episode, Ya and I talk about him. So I wanted you to at least know a little bit about what we were talking about. So yeah, I hope you enjoy and let's get into it. You good? Yeah. Comfortable? Well, ironically, my podcast is called Comfortably Uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_05 3:45

So comfortably uncomfortable? Yes.

SPEAKER_01 3:47

How do you perceive that?

SPEAKER_05 3:49

Depends on you. How do you perceive it?

SPEAKER_01 3:52

Well, what do you think about good morning, brother?

SPEAKER_05 3:55

How are you? Alright? We'll just have me some breakfast, drinking my coffee, and just now having a conversation. That's it.

SPEAKER_00 4:06

What's that? I figure out what's going on all around him. It's like he is very aware. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 4:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 4:12

That's important.

SPEAKER_05 4:13

Be vigilant at all times.

SPEAKER_02 4:15

Okay, man.

SPEAKER_05 4:16

Okay, you too. See ya. Have a good day. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:20

Another one of your neighbor friends.

SPEAKER_05 4:23

Yeah. We called each other brother. Brother.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

I love that. Do you know his name? Do you know my name?

SPEAKER_00 4:34

Emily.

SPEAKER_01 4:34

Yeah, there it is.

SPEAKER_00 4:36

You know, I was so happy the other day when we ran into each other and you were like, Hey Emily, I was like, Hell yeah, you remember my name.

SPEAKER_05 4:42

I remember most people's names.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

Yeah. Yeah. I feel like we've had quite a few conversations without the mics, and they always go just so deep, but doesn't it? Isn't there a different kind of pressure when you have like a mic on you?

SPEAKER_05 4:54

You feel like I mean, yeah, you can say that, but at the same time, it's more so for me.

SPEAKER_04 5:00

It's like, hey, it's just a normal conversation.

SPEAKER_00 5:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:06

You know? Sometimes you can uh partake in a conversation without a uh reverence to anything.

SPEAKER_05 5:15

You know? So it just depends on you in the conversation and what you perceive.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 5:21

That's the thing.

SPEAKER_01 5:22

So back to comfortably uncomfortable. What does that mean to you when you hear that?

SPEAKER_05 5:28

Comfortably uncomfortable. To be made uncomfortable so another can be comforted just temporarily. That's a temporary thing that causes a permanent outcome later. You know? It's just part of life, too. Most people are not, they don't even want to be made uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Do you feel like being uncomfortable is important for like our growth?

SPEAKER_05 5:49

Yes, it is, but how long are you supposed to be uncomfortable? That's the question.

SPEAKER_01 5:53

That's a good question. That's a good question. So, how how long are we supposed to be uncomfortable? I guess there's different kinds of discomfort, right?

SPEAKER_05 6:02

It is different kinds of discomfort, but it's what what is your discomfort? What is it that you're uncomfortable with? Me, I'm always comfortable at some for some reason. I don't know why, but I'm always like that. I've been like that. We when I'm uncomfortable, I'm still comfortable. Yeah. For something. If I'm not comfortable with this, I just won't deal with it. If I'm comfortable with this, I will. And if I don't, I'll remove myself or I just won't have much to say about.

SPEAKER_01 6:28

Yeah, I think there's discomfort that kind of helps us grow, and then there's discomfort that we're supposed to be kind of like moving away from.

SPEAKER_05 6:36

Well, discomfort that you move away from is the discomfort that you can't uh obtain comfortability in. I'm not gonna conform to something if it makes me uncomfortable. Let's just see. It's more so, for me, it's more so like if you can't understand where I'm coming from, then why the fuck do I need to understand where we're coming from? You know.

SPEAKER_00 6:55

That's fair.

SPEAKER_05 6:56

Excuse my friend.

SPEAKER_00 6:58

Fuck it up.

SPEAKER_05 7:02

You know, but at the same time, it's more sort of like what truly makes a person comfortable. If you stand for nothing and fall for anything, then if you fall for anything, you stand for nothing.

SPEAKER_01 7:13

I'm gonna replay that a bunch later and just kind of dissect it, kind of like the other day when we were talking, and you were just giving me all these like words that compared and contrasted. I guess they they were so similar but different, kind of like perception and perspective, and then changing and adapting.

SPEAKER_05 7:32

You gave me so many different examples of how like the words is the same, but like the contrast is means to the display.

SPEAKER_01 7:39

The what?

SPEAKER_05 7:40

Word contrast that means to display to show an image thereof. Did you know that? No, I always just I always took contrast as like different, like it is different, but it contrasts if it's different, that means to display as well.

SPEAKER_01 7:55

Another thing I'm gonna deep dive into later. Back check you. I'm just kidding.

SPEAKER_05 8:03

Well, that that that's happened before somebody took they took something I said and they wanted to go check, and when they found out that I was right, they were like, Oh my goodness.

SPEAKER_01 8:14

No, not that I ever think you're wrong, but it is interesting, it's just a different way of seeing it. I feel like you you teach me a lot. Intricates, yeah, because even kind of back to like perspective and perception, and how you said everybody thinks they're the same, but they're different, and then I was like really kind of thinking about it. Like, yeah, you know what? Perspective is like you can have an optimistic perspective on something, and your perception of it is like, well, this situation can be an opportunity, versus if you have like a fear-based perspective, then you're thinking everybody has fear, well, yeah, but it depends on what your fear is.

SPEAKER_05 8:49

What is your what is your greatest fear?

SPEAKER_01 8:51

My greatest fear, like you're asking me, yeah. Ooh, you know what's so funny about you asking me this is like I want to actually have an episode where I'm asking people this question, and so that was very interesting that you just asked me that. Um, I would say my biggest fear, damn. I um I have this fear of just not being good enough for anything I do.

SPEAKER_05 9:19

So if you have that fear, that means you should sh you should learn to take things at a slow pace and a fast pace, because when you go on a fast pace, you crash out.

SPEAKER_01 9:30

Yeah, that's a nice friendly reminder because I have been very intentional about just like slowing myself down with things lately.

SPEAKER_05 9:37

Sometimes I like to move at lightning speed, and sometimes I like to move really slow, so it just depends on the state. Finding a balance between the two. And yeah, you know, to find balance, it's not gonna always be easy, and that's why instruction leads to balance, if you want to call it that. You know, it's how it's more so of without order, you have no decency, without decency, you have no order, and without decency or order, you have no comfort. You have no what? Comfort means that you are uh uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

You always like loop things back around, you bring it in a circle, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 10:17

You you you and that's so because everyone learns at their own pace. But if I say something away for one to understand this way, then the other might perceive it in a different way. So therefore, perception and conception are two different things. To conceive means to what?

SPEAKER_00 10:36

To give birth to.

SPEAKER_05 10:38

Yeah. But also what does conceive mean?

SPEAKER_01 10:43

Um, to create. I I mean I guess that's the same thing.

SPEAKER_05 10:47

Yeah, they are, and both of those start with the C.

SPEAKER_01 10:51

There's a lot of like important words that start with C's.

SPEAKER_04 10:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:55

Connection, communication, yeah, community, yeah, contradiction, yeah, confidence.

SPEAKER_05 11:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:03

But all C's go on.

SPEAKER_05 11:05

Yeah, so even if so, even so even if they go on, what word relates to the next word to conceive something? Just like that word says century on that card then. The what? That word that said century.

SPEAKER_01 11:20

On the car that just drove by?

SPEAKER_05 11:21

Yeah. So century, how many words can you use? How many times how can you use that?

SPEAKER_01 11:26

Century. Um time, right?

SPEAKER_05 11:31

Yeah. Um to break down a I can break down a word and make it mean the same thing.

SPEAKER_01 11:38

Uh-huh. Sent like money.

SPEAKER_05 11:42

See?

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Um how else?

SPEAKER_05 11:47

Truth.

SPEAKER_01 11:48

Truth.

SPEAKER_05 11:50

Think about how many times you can break that word down.

SPEAKER_01 11:53

Um, I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 11:55

You can break that word down four different ways.

SPEAKER_00 11:59

Do it.

SPEAKER_03 12:07

Not yet.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

You always leave me hanging. No. I know I'm just kidding. We always we always talk about what you what you bring back around, so no, I'm not worried about I will I'll discover it.

SPEAKER_05 12:19

So if you can understand like a concept, you will understand what conception conception means also concept. Did you know that? One just has a different meaning. They're one of the same, but one is stronger than the other.

SPEAKER_01 12:32

Did you like study an encyclopedia or like a dictionary? Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 12:37

That was and yeah, that's what I'm saying about my two families.

SPEAKER_00 12:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 12:41

The four are out of the six, four of them are good, but the other two, they make sure I kept my education in regardless of anything, so I'll be not deceived.

SPEAKER_01 12:50

Well, I guess with you bringing that up, I know I we've talked, but for the people who are listening, they don't know who you are. They don't know who I'm sitting here with saying that. They have no idea who I'm even talking to. So I'm gonna ask you a question that I've asked a bunch of my friends and I actually made an episode on this.

SPEAKER_02 13:06

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Um, because you can answer it in a million different ways. Who are you?

SPEAKER_05 13:12

Who am I? I am that I am a lot of people because it was made so. That means I am Yah, but Yah is also a three-letter word syllable that brings about a name of a concept to form that of an identity to show you who I am.

SPEAKER_01 13:36

So is it are you spelled Y A H or Y A A?

SPEAKER_05 13:39

Or you can spell it either way, and it's Y-I-A. It'll still mean the same.

SPEAKER_00 13:44

How do you spell your name?

SPEAKER_05 13:45

I spell it different ways. I spell Y A H Y A I H, which still means the same.

SPEAKER_01 13:55

Okay. When I journal about you, as I have, I do it Y A A A. Three A's.

SPEAKER_05 14:04

Yeah, and that's yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 14:06

That's the that's the further form the word in a hey, good morning.

SPEAKER_00 14:11

What you doing? What you doing? I love the bow tie. What have a good day? Spread your joy, spread your happiness.

SPEAKER_05 14:23

So if you're doing if you do it like Y A A, all that does is extend it. The A.

SPEAKER_01 14:31

It emphasizes who you are. It's like, yeah, bitch.

SPEAKER_05 14:34

Get out the way, yeah. You know, stuff like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:40

No, I love that. Okay, well, I love how you just answered that question. That was a very poetic way to say who are you without telling us who are you. So if you were to describe yourself, who are you?

SPEAKER_05 14:53

Um, I'm not of the world. That's what I can say. I mean, when I say not of the world, that means it's almost like being from somewhere, but not really from there. We're not all built the same, but we all come from the same thing, with the exception of a few.

SPEAKER_01 15:15

See, now if you were to use adjectives to describe who you are, like where you're talking about your personality or your traits or who you how you impact others around you, what would you say?

SPEAKER_05 15:35

You impact others around you by that of the concept and of your perception of your mind and thought and that of your actions. You know?

SPEAKER_00 15:45

Yeah. So how what would you what are your actions?

SPEAKER_05 15:49

I don't really have any actions. I just I live day by day and just kind of just meet people as they go along. You know, and let that be that without all the sometimes people can overthink something when there's no need to overthink something. Sometimes they think they should overthink they're so hasty to do.

SPEAKER_01 16:13

I'm an overthinker.

SPEAKER_05 16:15

Oh, that's not good.

SPEAKER_01 16:16

I know scary. I know that's not good.

SPEAKER_05 16:18

It's that's why you have to slow down and take in what you've learned first. It's like if you experience something for multiple times in your life for years, well, you say, Well, it's not my problem, or it's not me, this and this and that. If it's not, then take the time out to make sure it's not before you can assume that it is. If you assume that it is, and what if you do come to find out that it is, like it's like a problem or something of that sort, then how do you fix that? Everybody wants to be self-learned, but uh self-taught, that means you will feel like no one can teach you anything. Somebody who's probably already shown you a better way of showing you a better way of learning or perceiving something that is the conception of your own thought. Everybody don't think alike, but everybody's not. I used to have this friend that used to call me dumb all the time.

SPEAKER_01 17:14

He used to call you dumb.

SPEAKER_05 17:15

Yeah, just because I didn't talk much, you know what I'm saying? And then after a while, I had to literally put in that person's face like, you ain't a dumb one, not me. You know, not to downplay that person, but to let them know. Just because I don't say something don't mean I don't intelligent.

SPEAKER_00 17:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 17:32

And then I had to kind of let that person know in so many words. I'm the most intelligent person you ever did in your whole fucking life, and probably anything else, because just because I don't want to talk about it, I don't mean I don't know. Maybe because it may make something a little different than what's normal. Yeah. You know, so it's not being funny, it's more so of like learning how to grow past something. It's like almost like a person. Let's use the word connoisseur. What does that mean?

SPEAKER_01 17:59

Um, someone who's got a lot of knowledge in something. Oh my god, look at you like making my mind work. So, how it what is like the actual definition of it?

SPEAKER_05 18:13

It's someone who can touch anything and make it grow. Oh. And it's in today's society or today's world, they call it the mighty's touch. That means it's like we obtain a certain level of degree of something, or like being a bachelor of science certificate or uh license or certification. If I decided to do that, by the way, I have that too. If I decided to use that into how to do something, that means I clearly must have to understand how the tree works, the plant works, the flower work, the bird work, the woman work, the man work, all that that my eye can see physically outside of what it cannot see, what others' eyes cannot see physically. So therefore, being a connoisseur means to be an entrepreneur.

SPEAKER_01 19:05

So I could be a connoisseur. Building a business, a brand that helps people.

SPEAKER_05 19:13

But entrepreneurship doesn't come from being a humanitarian nor a palanthropist. That's three different things in three different departments.

SPEAKER_01 19:22

They could all correlate.

SPEAKER_05 19:23

They they do correlate, but they don't run on consecutive.

SPEAKER_01 19:28

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_05 19:29

Because anything that runs consecutive has to have an executive board of a portal. You know, not uh not uh like a uh it's more so like so you can't how are you gonna be a connoisseur of anything that you've not mastered? That means failure, destruction, self, destruction and sabotage, which is another thing that has to be that makes comfort deplete itself. I'd rather be depleted and have everything and then to be depleted and left with nothing.

SPEAKER_01 20:13

So what would everything be to you?

SPEAKER_05 20:16

Everything, it depends on what you because depleted is like ta like um This is depleted right here.

SPEAKER_01 20:25

Okay, so everything is gone. So this is essentially left with nothing, pointing to the tree with no leaves on it.

SPEAKER_05 20:30

Yeah, but don't leaves grow back?

SPEAKER_01 20:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 20:33

So what has been taken will uh lost will find its way back.

SPEAKER_01 20:38

So the this tree, although it's depleted, it still has everything it needs.

SPEAKER_05 20:42

It sure does.

SPEAKER_01 20:43

Okay. I see where you're going.

SPEAKER_02 20:52

I get it, I get it.

SPEAKER_01 20:53

You get it? So, what would it be if it was depleted and had nothing?

SPEAKER_05 20:58

Then it would with away and break.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

So the roots would be gone.

SPEAKER_05 21:02

Yeah, so if it's still so try to run into that tree and see if it don't say, boom, you hit the ground.

SPEAKER_01 21:08

I would hurt myself more than I would hurt the tree.

SPEAKER_05 21:11

Exactly.

SPEAKER_01 21:16

Your mind is very creative.

SPEAKER_05 21:19

But if you was to say, if you if you were to go back and see what I'm saying, and you was uh um looking for yourself, you'll I'll still prove to be right because of the it's there. The evidence is there. Evidence of of a something substantial can only lead to something good or bad. But a substantial cannot, it doesn't deplete itself. It's like having a certain kind of energy of being a certain kind of personal being, it never depletes itself because of the simple fact that's not something that the world made, it was something that brought that came with something of the natural nature. You know?

SPEAKER_01 21:57

So when you are depleted. In a way where you feel like you have nothing, what has gotten you to that point?

SPEAKER_05 22:07

Uh nothing really has ever gotten me to that point because of the fact I know that that's not possible to get me to that point because if I was relying on my own strength, then my extra strength wouldn't come about.

SPEAKER_01 22:26

You started a dance party over here. I said you started a dance party over here. Yeah, you got your music bumping an hour like bobbing to the beat.

SPEAKER_02 22:39

You like the music?

SPEAKER_01 22:41

Yeah, we like it.

SPEAKER_03 22:43

How are you doing?

SPEAKER_05 22:44

Surviving life.

SPEAKER_03 22:45

Life is fucking me up, everybody.

SPEAKER_01 22:47

Hey, it gets the best of us. Keep your head up. Are you guys a date boyfriend? No. That's the second time someone asks us that. No, this is just my homie. I I hang out with him when I see him out. He was a character.

SPEAKER_05 23:04

Uh-huh. Yeah, it's like you can't uh right. He's not uh he's not a bad person, but he's not all there either.

SPEAKER_00 23:14

No, he's definitely not.

SPEAKER_05 23:16

He's not all there either.

SPEAKER_00 23:20

Alright. He kind of threw himself a little bit, no? Huh?

SPEAKER_01 23:23

He kind of threw us off a little bit.

SPEAKER_05 23:25

Somewhere, but not really.

SPEAKER_01 23:27

Yeah, no, we're gonna bring it back. Bring it back. That was funny. I feel like I kind of remember how earlier I was saying nothing is a coincidence, like people kind of just like are blocked in our presence for whatever reason.

SPEAKER_04 23:42

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 23:43

I'm sure we gained a little bit of whatever from him, you know?

SPEAKER_02 23:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 23:47

Sometimes I wonder why people are they are themselves, but not themselves.

SPEAKER_01 23:52

Yeah. Yeah, he always feels like he's trying to like impress like not impress, but imprint. Imprint. Okay, what do you mean by that?

SPEAKER_05 24:00

Give us a false impression of him.

SPEAKER_01 24:03

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_03 24:05

I'm gonna say I'm gonna keep something to myself. No, share with me. Cause I would really just be like good job, Emily. You'll understand later.

SPEAKER_00 24:22

What do you mean by that?

SPEAKER_05 24:25

He being nice, you'll be good. You'll get when you go away. Yeah, you'll get there.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

You know, it that's always such a a positive affirmation.

SPEAKER_05 24:33

You know that's an African? Did you know that?

SPEAKER_01 24:35

Yeah. You said what, Jamaican and African?

SPEAKER_05 24:37

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:39

777. I love seeing numbers like that.

SPEAKER_05 24:42

I was yeah, that's why I said that the other day after you're like wait, what'd you think about me? No, it wasn't bad. I was like, well, she's a little sensitive, but she also is Aries. So that means Well, you thought I was sensitive? Like not sensitive, like in a bad way, but in a sense of like you're desensitized. Means like you can understand people's perception or their point or something.

SPEAKER_01 25:04

I try to.

SPEAKER_05 25:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:06

I like that you were thinking about me when I left, because I think about you a lot.

SPEAKER_05 25:09

Yeah, it's like, oh, that's why I was waiting, you know.

SPEAKER_01 25:14

Now it all makes sense.

SPEAKER_05 25:15

It do, but it it makes me it it lets me know I lose my damn mind sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 25:21

You ain't you losing your damn mind? I ain't losing my mind. It's still there.

SPEAKER_05 25:25

Yeah yeah, it's still there. I can still hear and see it. So it's like good. It's good, it's good.

SPEAKER_01 25:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 25:35

Makes me think about this lady named Agatha.

SPEAKER_01 25:38

Agatha. What's up with her? Nothing. Who is she to you?

SPEAKER_05 25:44

Somebody I know. I've been knowing her for a long time.

SPEAKER_01 25:47

Yeah. So you had mentioned that you were adopted. Or the new yeah, you know, I'm adopted too.

SPEAKER_05 25:54

You are? Okay, okay. I am.

SPEAKER_01 25:56

So that's cool that we can relate to that. What was your like story?

SPEAKER_05 26:01

Oh, nothing I really want to talk about. Not right now. Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:04

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 26:05

It's I mean, it's not a sensitive thing, but it's uh it's a lot. It's a lot because it goes way back to some people can't believe it. If I was to tell them the story, but after telling the story, they see it later. Yeah, whether dead or alive.

SPEAKER_01 26:22

Okay or something. No, I I respect that. I'm I'm I'm curious to hear when you are ready to talk about it.

SPEAKER_05 26:26

How you know, like, oh my goodness, is that why it's like that again? Yeah, you know, it's like going through a cycle almost, but it's not your cycle to go through. It's more and more like same script, different cast, but same script, different cast.

SPEAKER_01 26:41

I like that.

SPEAKER_05 26:42

You know, like now you gotta get somebody else gotta come, the original has to come along and help you out of something that you put yourself into because you didn't understand that there's no defeat for the master.

SPEAKER_01 26:55

Okay, I'll have to reflect on that later.

SPEAKER_05 26:57

You know, yeah. No, it's not a bad thing. No, no, I know.

SPEAKER_01 27:00

I I'm just I want to fully understand what you mean by that. So that's kind of what I mean when I say I'll reflect on that later.

SPEAKER_05 27:06

Yeah, it's like it's okay, but it's not, it's okay, but you'll get through it. It's like focus on you and what you were trying to do for you, and everything else will fall away. You know, if you see, it's just like when you came and you was like, You want to have breakfast or you want to do something? That's helping. You don't ever know how that could actually bless your day or bless your life or make something better for you.

SPEAKER_01 27:30

Well, I told you yesterday I was kind of like in a funky mood, and then this morning, and it and to be honest, I could kind of tell you were in a little bit of a funky mood too yesterday. Yes. Yesterday when I saw you.

SPEAKER_05 27:39

Not somewhat, but not really. Yeah, I was just more so to myself, like Yeah, and I feel that I get like that too.

SPEAKER_01 27:46

You know, but I think, yeah, yesterday for me, I was just, I don't know, it was just like a weird day for me. And then this morning I told you I was like, I'm gonna go on a little walk, and I hope to see y'all because if I see him, I want to eat breakfast with him.

SPEAKER_05 27:58

Yeah, and that and that means you thought that, so you manifested that. So as you manifesting, keep good thoughts.

SPEAKER_01 28:05

I manifest millions for yawning. Okay. We can be checking some ones at people. No, but yeah, you're right. The mind is powerful, and when we kind of we have to take steps to make whatever we think come to life, right? So it's not like I could be like, oh, I wish I could get breakfast with y'all today and then sit in my place and just like you know, just kind of hang out there and be like, oh, but wouldn't it have been nice if I did that? Yeah. No, now I have to like make an effort. It's like, okay, let me go on a walk. And not only let me go on a walk, let me go on a walk on the path where I know I'll probably see him. So it's like taking all those little steps to make sure that you can at least try to um make something that you want to exist actually happen.

SPEAKER_05 28:53

So remember, I told you this a couple of a while back, maybe about a week or so ago. Remember when you start to make new, they call it connections or whatever the case may be. Because everybody's connected some type of way.

SPEAKER_00 29:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_05 29:08

When you start to move your life forward, never forget where you've been. So you will never forget where you're going. So it's not based on if you're a good person, it's based on solely if you're a good person, not if anyone else is. That's why it's called individuality.

SPEAKER_01 29:28

Individuality.

SPEAKER_05 29:29

Yeah, that's free will, God gives you that.

SPEAKER_01 29:32

Well, I want to kind of go back to you mentioning connections.

SPEAKER_05 29:35

Yeah, but all connections are not good connections, and good connections always will prove themselves in the end.

SPEAKER_01 29:42

Well, okay, so it goes into the things I was saying where it's like, even if a connection is bad, this right now while I'll be talking.

SPEAKER_03 29:50

Does that bother you?

SPEAKER_01 29:51

No, you do your thing. Um, I appreciate you asking though.

SPEAKER_02 29:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 29:56

Um but you know how like connections, even when they are bad, they're kind of essential for our growth. But it's so funny that everything, the first time that we sat down and talked, and I was just so admired by everything that you were saying because so much of what you say are things that I like to talk about on my podcast, or just like the concepts and ideas of them. And um, you bringing up connections, I do want to talk about the importance of them. And you kind of just brought up how connections aren't always good connections, they're bad connections too.

SPEAKER_05 30:30

But I view that as yes, any bad connection is a learning lesson.

SPEAKER_01 30:34

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 30:36

It's more so of knowing that you can your own actions can lead to your demise versus someone trying to actually lead you to your demise. So if it's not getting where it wants to go, I mean you're not connected to the right person, place within.

SPEAKER_01 30:56

You know, it all plays a part. I think if we're not like connected, kind of how we were talking about like meditating, you know, like we both enjoy meditation, and I feel like that helps us connect to ourselves, and when you're connected to yourself, you can connect to things around you a lot easier.

SPEAKER_05 31:14

Exactly, but it's like also because like having a business partner, and that partner is focused on this part, and you may be focused on the other part. So, well, one is weak, the other one is strong, well, the other one is strong, the other one is weak. But what if you encounter someone where they're not really weak? So imagine someone who is strong in all departments.

SPEAKER_01 31:37

Anyway, you wanna connect with them, yeah. You want to connect so you can learn from them. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_05 31:45

You want to be so that would go into like tutoring, mentorship, all of that kind of stuff.

SPEAKER_01 31:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 31:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:52

That's why it's like I love cherishing connections because I think they add so much value to um our lives. Like, I think you have just like in the short amount of time we've worked, well, actually, we're kind of going strong on this little relationship of ours.

SPEAKER_00 32:08

No wonder people think we're boyfriend.

SPEAKER_01 32:12

No wonder people are curious about our dynamic because we are we are building, you know, our connection from what it was to like what it's becoming.

SPEAKER_05 32:19

You take your time with your podcast, you'll get to where you're trying to go. Just remember as you're going, don't step on nobody. Don't let nobody step on you.

SPEAKER_00 32:29

Thank you.

SPEAKER_05 32:30

Remember that.

SPEAKER_00 32:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:31

I don't think God'll let nobody step on you though. I think he'll step on somebody. So that means don't let nobody step on you. Don't step on don't do things to incur problems. Because problems, or shall they say, trouble is easy to get in and hard to get out of. And now that the world is in the state that listen, they're gonna forever have troubles and problems and all kinds of other things that they don't listen.

SPEAKER_00 32:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 32:54

It's just weird. The world is where it is because God allows it to be that way so people can learn their lessons, you know, without so much of his uh interference. And if you can help someone, help them. If you can't, don't bother them. So they're taking myself through all this other stuff.

SPEAKER_01 33:10

But I think that's where a lot of lessons are learned is when we kind of go through all those other things. Because the way I look at things is like I always reference like break that word down. Lessons, okay.

SPEAKER_05 33:23

Less is the road that all travel.

SPEAKER_01 33:28

So we learn the lessons along the way.

SPEAKER_00 33:32

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 33:35

I think it's some people have to realize God may put them in a predicament to help others, but if you choose not to help somebody because you think you have more than that person, you'll be a job brownness motherfucker.

SPEAKER_00 33:47

A what?

SPEAKER_05 33:48

A job.

SPEAKER_00 33:49

A job.

SPEAKER_05 33:50

Job is like Job from the Bible who lost everything. Oh yeah, that's what that's what this is here. These are that's God, those are signs from God. Then you know I'm I'm about tired of all the drama.

SPEAKER_01 34:04

Well, also, I think it's just natural for things to fall apart so other so other things can grow.

SPEAKER_05 34:12

Yeah, yeah, that's good too. I'm not saying that it's bad, but it's also good. Can you pull the goodness out of any bad situation or the bad out of any good situation? I think you can do both that it's perspective.

SPEAKER_01 34:28

So perspective is it's combining perspective and perception. Because kind of how I was saying earlier, it's like if you can have an optimistic perspective.

SPEAKER_05 34:36

That's what the word combine means. The word optimistic, that means to com find, convert, combine something. That's what that word means. Optimism. That's what that word actually means.

SPEAKER_01 34:50

So look it up, you'll see. Oh, you already know that I like later on and go through everything we've discussed to have a full idea of what you meant when you were saying it. Because yeah, you you go deep. You do. I like to think I go deep, but I think I go deep based off of the people that I encounter who challenge my mindset and um kind of back to what I said, add value to it. Because the way you look at things are. We live for experiences, right?

SPEAKER_05 35:24

That's it. That's it. Like it's almost like telling someone who knows they're gonna live for fucking ever. You can teach them and send them all these places and things, and then the end of they're still alive, and then per them people are dead. Or gonna die, or going through this, or going through the haven't changed and haven't changed. Like, how can you do that? You can't gather time unless time is gathered by the one wisdom.

SPEAKER_01 35:49

You know, thinking about it.

SPEAKER_05 35:52

To think means to perceive a thought of a conception of the mind in the process of the mind of the way it thinks.

SPEAKER_01 36:00

Got me, got my head spinning. Like, what the fuck is he saying? What are you thinking about?

SPEAKER_03 36:11

Oh girl.

SPEAKER_01 36:12

Where did your mind just go?

SPEAKER_03 36:15

Not in a bad place, just like I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 36:19

Everybody I like to be personal by myself a lot, but yeah, no, I'm the same way. When you want on some type of journey or something in your life, you just live in your life, you want to meet people. God always put people in your life for a reason. It's just how life goes. It just depends on you.

SPEAKER_01 36:35

Yeah, we were supposed to meet for a reason.

SPEAKER_05 36:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:37

You know what I tell myself every day, and I love that you say our mind is like if we want something, we can make it happen by thinking about it. Every day I say, I'm gonna change y'all's life. I don't know how, I don't know at what capacity, but I know that I am fully placed in your life to make some kind of difference while you're that for me as well, you know?

SPEAKER_05 37:02

Growth. I've always seen it to be like every day you wake up, you do something for somebody else that they can't do for themselves that day, then your life will be better.

SPEAKER_00 37:11

Yeah, I love to live by that.

SPEAKER_05 37:13

It's just like um basically like that man right there that just pulled up. Yeah. Now, if I would have said something to you, you would have just been looking at me like I'm gonna lose my damn mind.

SPEAKER_01 37:24

What would you have said?

SPEAKER_05 37:25

It's not the matter because that time is coming gone now. You know?

SPEAKER_01 37:31

I don't think I would have thought you were losing your mind. I think I I think I would have probably agreed with you. Just based off of like our body languages during that encounter. Like, I feel like we were kind of on the same page, you and I. Yeah, and you have to um I think I had a different approach to it though.

SPEAKER_05 37:47

Like, I think I was more like But he was bold enough to say what he needed to say.

SPEAKER_01 37:51

Yeah, he was.

SPEAKER_05 37:53

I'm just saying, I'm gonna just not say something.

SPEAKER_00 37:56

Yeah, because I was scared you were about to walk away and leave me. I was like, don't leave me with this man, you better stay put.

SPEAKER_05 38:09

But yeah, it's different, depends on where you're trying to go in your own personal life.

SPEAKER_03 38:16

Yeah, being kind and all that sort of thing, yeah. Everybody's gonna like everybody don't have etiquette. No, they don't.

SPEAKER_05 38:24

Eloquence and a couple of other things.

SPEAKER_01 38:28

Everyone's uh built differently for sure.

SPEAKER_05 38:32

Yeah, and people are built differently. Definitely, definitely.

SPEAKER_01 38:37

But that's the beauty in in life, right?

SPEAKER_05 38:39

Is to kind of just But that's why you have all those different religions, too. Each denomination, like a demo tape to me.

SPEAKER_01 38:46

But even beyond religion, we're different based off our personalities, our ethnicity, our thoughts, our emotions. Just the diversity of us that builds a community, builds the world.

SPEAKER_05 39:00

Yeah. It's all in the atmosphere to be seen in whatever way it needs to be seen. I mean, thinking about something else, but at the same time, it still makes you think about the present, you know.

SPEAKER_01 39:12

It still makes you think about what?

SPEAKER_05 39:14

Just life, how life goes, and you know, it's like speaking about something or knowing I can manifest something, and while I'm manifesting and just leave it there, I know it's there.

SPEAKER_01 39:28

It's like planting planting the seed and then different thoughts or different things.

SPEAKER_05 39:35

Planning the seed and someone else thinking they're gonna reap the harvest of what I manifested. That's not you get what I'm saying, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:43

I'm gonna get it even more when I listen back to this. Like it's so weird seeing those cars drive by with nobody in them.

SPEAKER_05 39:50

Why? That means if somebody gets in there and they don't even have to push their own foot or do nothing, just let the car drive them to its own destination, which is an advanced technology, which they can have clearly gotten, but they can't do it because they don't know what to do.

SPEAKER_01 40:05

But things malfunction too. Like, could you imagine being in a vehicle like that with no driver, and then all of a sudden it starts, you know, kind of going haywire in there, and then next thing you know, you're in a 25-mile zone and you're that vehicle's hitting 65 and nobody can stop it. Does that not make you feel like, well, shit, if someone was in this seat right now, this would not be the situation we'd be in?

SPEAKER_03 40:29

Oh perspective. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 40:34

I mean, it's cool. It's cool to see how far things have come, but it is there's pros and cons to everything, right? It does make you kind of feel a little weary about certain things.

SPEAKER_05 40:43

Well, I'm pretty sure if that car has that somebody just in there by itself, I'm pretty sure it could there's a budget and never stops something.

SPEAKER_00 40:51

You're pretty sure what?

SPEAKER_05 40:52

It's some way to stop that car from doing it and somebody can actually drive it.

SPEAKER_01 40:56

Yeah, I guess it'd be like hopping over a seat.

SPEAKER_05 40:59

Or getting out of the car and then want to want to walk around the front of the back of the street.

SPEAKER_01 41:03

Not if it's going 65 miles per hour.

SPEAKER_03 41:07

Um saying hi to him.

SPEAKER_01 41:16

The other day when I was on a walk, I told you I was like, I had a stressful mindset. Even like walking, I took my headphones out and I was like, let me just let me just stay connected here without any distraction. And then I walked by you and we were just like casually talking about something, and you stopped me from talking, and you're like, Oh, I'm having a revelation right now. You're having a revelation, yeah, a very good one.

SPEAKER_05 41:37

Based off of what I'm saying, yeah, and some other stuff.

SPEAKER_01 41:40

Yeah, do you want to share?

SPEAKER_05 41:42

Um process of elimination. That's what I've been doing every every time I go through something, I see what don't serve me, person place a thing. So, therefore, in that, no one has power. So, therefore, if it's a process of elimination, if this don't serve me, person place a thing. Not saying you're disposable, but I don't have to deal with you. If you do something that makes me put you out of my life, that's what you say. That's why I bind it at. You know, I call that being bound because I want to move forward and do something different than what another person feels. And a lot of people used to have to go through stuff like that. You know, I'm pretty sure people have been through stuff like that. And you have to sometimes realize that even though you might see me like this, don't think I'll look like this forever.

SPEAKER_00 42:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 42:39

Because everything changes at the drop of a die.

SPEAKER_00 42:45

You're right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 42:47

Just opinion. Your own perception. Your own perception can lead you to four different paths. But often you'll have to make a decision in the year. Or they'll be made for you.

SPEAKER_01 43:02

Gosh, there's this quote. I'm gonna try to think about it on the spot. Um damn, something about like everything changes, so you either change with it or it changes you. Does that sound right? Something like that?

SPEAKER_05 43:16

That's that's why you change, evolve, grow, or not.

SPEAKER_00 43:22

That's a we do it all. We do it all.

SPEAKER_05 43:25

Yeah, you do do it all, but at the same time and doing it all, what excuse do you have? Life is changing though quickly. Some people on the outside, I'm like, yeah, yeah. It's like inside out. They call that inside out. What do you call inside out? Anyone who chooses not to go within themselves and think to themselves at any time in life, it's like days in.

SPEAKER_01 43:53

It's what?

SPEAKER_05 43:54

Days in.

SPEAKER_01 43:55

Days in.

SPEAKER_05 43:56

Days coming out, all things.

SPEAKER_01 44:03

Is that a buddy of yours? Or just someone saying hey?

SPEAKER_05 44:06

Just someone saying hey. Someone I know from uh McDonald's.

SPEAKER_01 44:11

I talk to people always speaking. Yeah, you're approachable.

SPEAKER_05 44:15

Yeah, I'm nice. You are I'm just me. I'm it means I see you in the spirit, and that's all you need to know.

SPEAKER_01 44:29

Good vibes.

SPEAKER_05 44:31

I'm always up for good vibes.

SPEAKER_01 44:33

If you had like a platform where you could spread kindness or share something of value or just a positive affirmation or a quote, what would you say?

SPEAKER_05 44:50

Well, I would probably tell people to always get their life together, get it together, because at the end of the day, all things um to achieve something, you must first believe that you can achieve. You have to have some type of experience in something in order to even dominate any industry and field.

SPEAKER_01 45:16

Man, I tell you when I sit back and play this, I'm gonna be like, what?

unknown 45:19

Phew.

SPEAKER_01 45:21

Everything is just gonna open up, expand.

SPEAKER_05 45:25

When you sit here and think, what do you think about just uh bettering my life, bettering knowing things that we better? Maybe sometimes people come along and they'll give you a false dream or a false hope or something, but usually I've never had to worry about those kind of problems because everything seems to work out.

SPEAKER_01 45:47

What are you doing to help better your life and still find them?

SPEAKER_05 45:52

Yeah, having always worry or do this or go here and do this and do that, la la la and all this sort of stuff. As they say, it's like somebody would think I'm sitting up in my mess, but my mess is not who I am because I have no message to give, but that what comes from my heart, and what comes to my heart can be offensive to some, but I don't give a damn because who are they to even think they can judge? By the time I get done speaking, they'll understand that much breath of life is linked.

SPEAKER_01 46:22

You leave me speechless a lot. You leave me figuring out what to say, and sometimes I just don't even know. Well, I hope I'm not providing false hope for you.

SPEAKER_05 46:33

Oh no, no, no, no, no. It's good to just be able to sit and kind of talk.

SPEAKER_01 46:38

You said what?

SPEAKER_05 46:39

To sit and talk and uh you know, have breakfast is different stuff for people sometimes, you know, without uh feeling like I'm wrong.

SPEAKER_01 46:49

I'm getting something wrong with it, you know. So it's like I'm your little angel in your mind.

SPEAKER_05 46:54

Yeah, and it's like people have angels, people have things they do, yeah. It's not uh that's something that's that's comes along the line. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 47:04

All right.

SPEAKER_05 47:06

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 47:07

Have a good one. You don't get one out, no, you're gonna go. Well that's fair.

SPEAKER_02 47:14

That's funny.

SPEAKER_01 47:16

I take yours. No, I'm just gonna that's nice of him. We should get his name next time.

SPEAKER_05 47:22

Okay, okay. Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_01 47:25

Yeah, you know, like build the connection that he's creating.

SPEAKER_05 47:28

I think he did give me his name one time, though, because this is where I got this from.

SPEAKER_01 47:32

Oh, he gave you that? Yeah. Oh, that's awesome. I love good people.

SPEAKER_05 47:37

Yeah, it's always a uh good thing to get to know people sometimes.

SPEAKER_01 47:44

Yeah, it is good to get to know people because it's just a way of life. And just like I don't know, when people can just like how he provided something for you to keep you warm, he provided something for you to give you food.

SPEAKER_02 47:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:58

He's he's your little angel too, you know, just someone who's on your path to kind of help you lead you to something better.

SPEAKER_05 48:05

That's how you have to look at it like that sometimes. Even if it's if the connection is different.

SPEAKER_01 48:12

All the connections will be different. They'll have they'll resemble each other, they'll have its similarities, but every connection is But the true one always comes about. The what?

SPEAKER_05 48:21

The true connection always comes about.

SPEAKER_01 48:24

That's that's like I think that goes into how you nurture it. Yeah, how you nurture it, but also Well, a connection can die if it's not um giving and receiving. Like if someone's just giving to a connection, eventually the person they'll they'll want to stop because it's like they're not really gaining anything from it. You know what I mean? And it's not like everything within that connection has to line up. It's not like, oh, like that person's giving you a sweater and then you have to provide that sweater. It's like, no, you kind of need to connect with something else that you can give, and then it's an exchange, like an equal exchange of something, even though the exchange is something different.

SPEAKER_05 49:03

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 49:04

Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_05 49:05

Yeah, that makes sense. Yeah, it makes sense to uh everybody stuff. That's like you saying, I want you on my podcast, so it's just almost like a consultation of saying, I would like you to do this to help, you know. It's just like you sitting here today. I'm thinking about something. I'm on my business thought.

SPEAKER_01 49:22

You're always thinking right now. You know what I'm so curious about? Like when you like to, you said you journal, what do you like to write about? Like, what is your style of journaling?

SPEAKER_05 49:36

Well, I'm my mind is so uh powerful. I can tell that I try not to use my brain to think a lot.

SPEAKER_01 49:46

So like when you write, you're are you thinking about like your the day you had? Are you thinking about the future you want? Are you thinking about just a specific topic that you want to just kind of write about?

SPEAKER_05 50:04

Yeah and no, but yeah and no.

SPEAKER_01 50:07

Do you write about feelings?

SPEAKER_05 50:09

Sometimes. If I feel something, but I don't really feelings, people's feelings are always hurting for seems like to me. They what people's feelings seem like they're always hurt at some point, or some uh not always in a balance.

SPEAKER_01 50:25

Well, I think everything in life ebbs and flows, including feelings and emotions, and yeah, yeah. So I think that's normal, you know. Um we talked about happiness the other day, and you said you always like to be happy. That's a feeling, right?

SPEAKER_05 50:42

Yeah, that's a feeling.

SPEAKER_01 50:43

So there's I'm sure there's days where you're not feeling happy.

SPEAKER_05 50:47

Well, I have a natural high, a natural happiness, a natural everything, because some days you're not gonna always get what you want, and some days you didn't even always go how you wanted to go.

SPEAKER_01 50:58

Yeah. So if there was something that could potentially like make you feel like you're not happy, how would you alter that? How would you change your mindset or your day, or like how would you flip the script and go from feeling like unhappy to happy?

SPEAKER_05 51:14

Happiness, what is your happy place? I guess that they call it.

SPEAKER_01 51:19

You said you think about your happy place.

SPEAKER_05 51:20

Yeah, what is your happy place? Yeah, I'm asking you, but you can ask yourself that.

SPEAKER_01 51:26

Okay, I like that.

SPEAKER_05 51:28

I'm asking you, but if you ask yourself that and you still don't find it, then what? You would ask another one, right?

SPEAKER_00 51:34

How old are you?

SPEAKER_05 51:38

I'm old enough.

SPEAKER_00 51:40

But what year were you born?

SPEAKER_05 51:45

Let's just say in the eighties. In the eighties.

SPEAKER_01 51:49

Okay. I'm curious. I don't know.

SPEAKER_05 51:53

I'm old enough.

SPEAKER_01 51:54

You're wise.

SPEAKER_05 51:56

Yeah, but not in my own eyes, in the eyes of my understanding.

SPEAKER_01 52:01

Damn. Are you in your forties? Some of that way. Well, you look good.

SPEAKER_05 52:06

Oh, thank you. Oh, you have no idea, girl.

SPEAKER_00 52:09

Just yet. What do you mean?

SPEAKER_05 52:13

That's a good thing if I said it to you. Just being you.

SPEAKER_01 52:18

Age is just a number.

SPEAKER_04 52:20

Somewhat.

SPEAKER_01 52:21

But I feel like it with age comes, you know, experiences and more knowledge and more lessons. Age provides life because it means we're moving forward, we're moving on up.

SPEAKER_05 52:30

I'm thinking about something. Never mind.

SPEAKER_01 52:33

You're always thinking about something.

SPEAKER_05 52:34

I'm think- no, I'm thinking about something good, but I'm also thinking about how everything I say, or I think it always comes back towards me to let me know that I was right.

SPEAKER_01 52:46

However, I want to be in your head and know what you're thinking at all the times.

SPEAKER_05 52:53

You said that's what you want.

SPEAKER_01 52:55

I want to be in your head just to understand you better.

SPEAKER_05 53:00

To understand something, that means it doesn't need to be explained.

SPEAKER_01 53:05

Well, I think whenever we don't understand something, we should ask for it to be explained just so we do get a better understanding of it.

SPEAKER_02 53:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:13

I like to ask a lot of questions.

SPEAKER_02 53:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:16

You can tell. But not in a bad way, not in like in an in an overbearing way, you know what I mean? I feel like I read the room, you know? You don't think so?

SPEAKER_00 53:29

Do you not think that?

SPEAKER_03 53:30

I wasn't saying that you didn't. I'm just like, okay.

SPEAKER_00 53:34

What was funny about that?

SPEAKER_05 53:36

Nothing in a not in a bad way. It's like, okay, you can read the room. Maybe I should be comfortable with that.

SPEAKER_01 53:43

Yeah. I feel like especially when you're like kind of sitting like one-on-one like this and kind of getting to know, to know someone, it's appropriate to like ask, you know, questions.

SPEAKER_05 53:54

You wanna you're curious about I've always been able to have the spiritual insight into that of what I've always been able to know.

SPEAKER_01 54:04

Do you think we're spiritually connected?

SPEAKER_05 54:07

Not quite there.

SPEAKER_01 54:08

Yeah.

unknown 54:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 54:10

There is okay, I should have said it as like there is a spiritual connection.

SPEAKER_04 54:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 54:16

It's one of those things we're like nurturing over time. With actions, conversations, thoughts, time.

SPEAKER_05 54:28

Time.

SPEAKER_01 54:30

Time. Time is of the essence.

SPEAKER_05 54:32

We'll talk about that another day.

SPEAKER_01 54:35

I know. This has been such a good start to the day. Damn, we spent a lot of time with each other today.

SPEAKER_04 54:41

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 54:42

I got up with you at like 10 45.

SPEAKER_04 54:45

Okay, and what time is it now?

SPEAKER_00 54:48

Well, check your watch. How about that?

SPEAKER_01 54:53

Put your new gift to use.

SPEAKER_05 54:56

Okay. It's 1.35.

SPEAKER_01 54:59

Time flies when you're having fun.

SPEAKER_05 55:01

Yeah, that's what they say.

SPEAKER_01 55:03

So you're not having fun?

SPEAKER_05 55:05

Yeah, I'm having fun.

SPEAKER_01 55:09

Do you get to like sit down and have conversations with people often or sometimes, not really? Yeah. It's you probably like the balance of both having your own time, but then also like enjoying the company of someone else.

SPEAKER_05 55:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:24

That's how I feel. Like I like to keep to myself, but I also like to have, I don't know, other people around at times too, you know.

SPEAKER_05 55:35

So do you sit with yourself often?

SPEAKER_01 55:37

I do. I think that's what helps me become a better person. Kind of what you said, actually. You said it earlier. Bettering yourself and sitting with yourself. Um yeah, I think it's important. I think it allows us to connect to our true feelings and our true desires and truth in general. So yeah, I enjoy it. But like it does, it can be lonely. Not that it is lonely, but it can be. Well, I'm glad we had a conversation. We'll probably have more if that's okay with you.

SPEAKER_05 56:10

Oh yeah, I don't mind having a conversation.

SPEAKER_01 56:13

Well, I hope that your journal gets delivered today so I can come back and bring it to you.

SPEAKER_05 56:17

Okay. I'm sure I'm gonna uh want it to to uh writing stuff too. I'm gonna mute me a special pen too.

SPEAKER_01 56:26

Yeah, I I did order you some pens. I don't know if they're gonna be to your liking, but you're gonna deal with them. Okay. Do you like writing letters?

SPEAKER_04 56:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 56:36

We can write each other a letter. Oh, okay. Alright. What's wrong with that? I think that could be special.

SPEAKER_04 56:43

Yeah. Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_01 56:46

Well, I'm gonna head out of here. Oh I'm gonna try to find you later.

SPEAKER_05 56:52

Please do so.

SPEAKER_01 56:53

You said what?

SPEAKER_05 56:54

Please do so.

SPEAKER_01 56:56

Yeah, I will. February 18th. Diversity is beauty. We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion. Well, that is just a beautiful quote from the Year of Positive Thinking book that we can end this lovely episode on. I hope you enjoyed. Till next time, XOXO.
