Hey everybody. What's up? Welcome back to the podcast. It's Macy. If you're new here, this is my podcast. Long story longer. I'm glad you're here. Um, you guys are in for a treat because it's 10 p.m., which means it's yap o'clock. And I don't have a really a um it's 10 seconds in, I can't even think of the word. I don't have a schedule. No. Oh my god, am I okay? A plan. Why was that word so hard to come up with? A plan. I don't have a plan for this episode except just to talk. Although I do have um a fun little prompt at the end that I did on my Instagram stories that I'm gonna do. So I guess that's my plan. But as for before that, who knows? We're just gonna talk, okay? So yeah. Um, welcome back. I'm really excited podcast. I mean, like I always am, but like when I was getting ready for bed, I was like, oh, I can't wait to get in bed and podcast. And yeah, so since we last talked, let's see. Let's see what I've been up to. Um, my last episode was a spring break recap. So hope you enjoyed that. Since then, I've just been living out my last couple months and aims. It's really crazy. A lot of different feelings, honestly. Um like one second, I'm like, I am literally so sad that I'm not gonna live with my friends anymore. Like, there's something about just living with girls that is so fun and like wholesome. And I know like not everybody, like not every group of girls gets along and feels this way, but like for us, we're so close and like every day we just hang out. Like all we do all day is just hang out. We either watch TV or we go on walks. Like we are with each other constantly. And I'm really gonna miss that. Um, because it's just like it's just weird to think that, especially with I've already I'm already in this stage of life with um a few of my friends where you have to like plan a hangout. But especially with Kenzie and Campbell and I, we've never had to plan a hangout really. Like, at least in the last I mean, Kenzie and I, you know, we've been friends forever, so obviously we've gone through all stages, but but we just we're together all the time, like 24-7. And so it's gonna be weird to switch to a new phase of life being like, hey, one of you guys free, just because like that's not been our reality. So I don't know. It'll be it'll be sad but happy. I don't know. I'm obviously so excited to live with Nate, like I I can't wait. I think about it every day. Like, we're really excited this weekend when he was he wouldn't want I don't know if he'd want me to say this, but he doesn't listen, so who cares? Um just kidding. But this weekend when he was here, um, we were talking about when we're gonna hang out basically for the remainder of the semester because it's only a month left, and um he was like, we're so close to like just being together all the time and not having to like plan. And I'm like, I know, like I can't wait. So on one hand, I am so sad to move out from my friends, um, but on the other hand, it's it's exciting times to move on to the next stage of life too. But but then it's also and I feel the same way about just college in general, like I'm really gonna miss my schedule and like my free time and really my last little while of being like a kid, and then I also though am like okay, I can't wait to get a paycheck, and I can't wait to like but no, that's really all. I I actually don't want to like work five days a week, but like this summer when I was working and like making money, I was like, oh my god, like wow, who knew who knew it was nice, like duh. Um but yeah, I don't know. It's lots of different mixed feelings, but it's also just like you just I mean there's nothing you can do about it, you just have to sit and d take it, you know, like I can't change what's gonna happen. It's like it's just a part of life, just graduating and growing up. I people think like high school graduation is crazy, like going to college. No. College is just high school, but ten times better. Graduating college and moving to out into the real world, that's the big change, I think. Like, yeah, moving to college is a change for a s for a little bit, but then you're like, oh my god, this is like a trillion times better than high school, because well, so many reasons. And then but now graduating doesn't seem as fun. Where in high school it was like, yay, get to go to college.
unknownI don't know.
SPEAKER_00So anyway, those are my those are my feelings. Right now I'm I'm sitting staring at my graduation dress, which is hanging up, which is amazing, and I'm so excited to wear it. That's like oh my gosh, I love it. So I'm excited to wear that and get pictures done. But anyway, what have I been up to? I think so. Right after we got back from spring break that next weekend, um, my family, the five of us went up to my grandma's and we did like a spring cleaning. I think, wait, did I talk about that in my oh yeah, I I we had just gotten back from that on my last episode. So yeah, I had a TikTok go like kind of viral um from that weekend. I took a video of um all of us like working. I guess it was my mom and Blake and my dad, and then Brady was driving the skid loader, and then my grandma like was pulling out I don't know, sticks or something at the end, and um I said, Unfortunately, my family does not know what the difference between pink and blue jobs, and it went kind of viral. Let me see how many TikToks or how many views it has. 140,000 views, 21,000 likes. So yeah, it was it was funny. I just I got the idea when I was um I was working or like doing something, and then my grandma came up and she's like, Hey, I have a job for you inside, and I was like, Yep, bye. As I was doing that, I was thinking, I was like, this is funny because like I'd so much rather be doing stuff inside and like have the boys be doing stuff outside, but like my mom would also rather be like outside. She's just like super awesome like that, like super hard work ethic. So I just thought it was funny. Like, yeah, we don't my house my family does not believe in boy and girl jobs. Like my mom does the traditional boy jobs, and my dad like does laundry. Like, it's just I love it because it like I've seen my whole life growing up with a mom who like anything a man can do, she can do probably better. Like, literally. So love you, mom. Um, I know she'll be listening and she'll be smiling listening to this, but um, yeah, so I just thought that TikTok was funny, but then I haven't really had anything else. Oh, what'd I do the next weekend? Oh. So Blake and I went to Cornell together. So I went to visit Nate, and Blake actually came with me because um he had a basketball tournament, not playing, he's coaching basketball for a couple months this summer or this spring, and he had a tournament in Coralville, and so he wanted to stay the night anyway, and I was like, Well, I'm going to Cornell, so and that's close to Iowa City or Corville, so you could just stay. And then he was like, Okay, and then we could like go out after, and I was like, sure. So we went over Friday. Um, he got a little tour of Cornell. Well, yeah, like Nate walked us around. We went in a couple buildings and stuff and saw the cool um like sports facility. They have a really, really cool sports facility. And then we went and watched like coach the next day and ate at this really good pizza spot. Wait, I wonder if I can find it. I should have been prepared with this. We ate at this pizza spot in Coralville that was like right by the extreme arena. It was phenomenal. I do not know if I'm gonna be able to find this. Actually, I probably will if I type in extreme. Sorry guys, give me two seconds because if you're in the Iowa City area, you should go. Wait, how do I spell extreme? Oh yeah, extreme arena with an X. Um, oh yeah, here it is. Marquee Pizzeria. I think that's how you say it. M-A-R-Q-U-E-E pizzeria in Coralville. It's really cute and really good. Um they have like it's like the Nap Napoleon style pizza, which is Nate's favorite style of crust. He is like a pizza. Well, he just a foodie in general, but he like knows all the pizza crusts and like which one's the best and like which one like originates from which part of the country or which part of the world. Like, seriously. So anyway, they have Napoleon style pizza crust if you're into that stuff, like he is. And they um or it was really good. So anyway, if you're in the area, you should try that out. Um, and then we went out that night, but it was the night before Easter, and like, so I'm assuming like a lot of people were home, and we just I don't know, there wasn't a lot of people there, but it was fine. Um it was pretty fun. And yeah, I've like stayed in Nate's dorm on the couch, and which you guys know if you've listened for a while, I have slept on that couch a handful of times because oh my god, two people in a twin bed. I'm not gonna explain the whole stories again, but just yeah, I've I've slept on that couch and it's it's comfy. So then we I came back, which I should have just stayed because the very next day I went back over to Washington, Iowa, which is um, or not Washington, uh Riverside, Iowa, which is just like a little bit south of Iowa City. I don't know how far, maybe like 30 minutes? I actually don't know. I think about 30 minutes for the Hey Sister event. And I think Lexi's probably listening because she told me that she's a listener, so I love it. Um so Lexi is Kenzie's boss. She's been working her intern for um over like a year now, I think. I because I think she started working like last winter. I don't know. Anyway, she's great. We've gotten to know each other. We also have connections through like other people. Anyway, she hosts this event. This was her I I think this was the second one. Sorry, Alexi, if I got that wrong. I think this was the second one. She hosted an event called Hay Sister, and it's basically just an event for like rural women, women to like get together and connect. And um, I don't want to say net it is kind of networking, but it it's more than that. Networking feels so like on the surface. It's like really like getting connected uh to women and like her big thing was like not feeling alone, and it was a great event. So I went to help just help it run, I guess. I basically was just like doing what Kenzie did, which was um helping set up and then kind of doing random things like day of. So yeah, it was super fun. Kenzie and I, well, first we went to Northern Vessel and Des Moines, which I had never been. And if you're know you're in the central Iowa area, you've probably heard of it, but they have the coffee in the really cute tall canned um cups, and it was so good. I got the Cheerio latte, and I love a specialty latte, like any random, like not random, any crazy sounding latte I'm gonna get. Here's something, here's some that come to mind that I've had recently. So the Cheerio latte, that's honestly not that crazy, but like I don't know, like I just laugh thinking of like my grandparents, like if my grandma, okay, she drinks black coffee all day, every day. If I told her I was drinking a Cheerio latte, she'd probably be like, excuse me, like we've lost the plot. Like, what? You know, like it's just like things are so extra these days. But anyway, Cheerio latte in Iowa City. I got a marshmallow treat latte, which when they said it, Nate like started laughing and he was like, of course, like of course you get a latte that sounds like candy. Oh wait.
unknownOh my god.
SPEAKER_00Sorry guys, Blake texted me and he wants to he needs to drop my keys off, but I can't get up and out of bed to do this, so give me two seconds. I'm gonna voice type. Yes, but I'm recording a podcast, so just keep the keys. I'll get them tomorrow. Okay. We like share a car, so um okay, he said sounds good. Anyway, um, oh yeah, okay, so I got a marshmallow treat latte. And he was, yeah, he just was like, oh my god, the lattes you freaking order are like insane. And I'm like, I know, but they're so good. So it was like a lucky charm, like spring-inspired latte. I also have been obsessed with the banana bread mocha from Seven Brew. Who would have thought that banana bread coffee would be good? Oh my god, you guys have to try it. It's my new obsession. Banana bread mocha from Seven Brew. I get three quarters sweet and with oat milk and decaf. Like, I, of course. Another thing about me is I have like seven moderations. I can't just go up and order a latte. Like I'm like this, this, this, this. But I like it how I like it, okay? So the banana bread mocha. And then today, actually, at cafe, okay. It's it looks like it says cafe DM, but I think it's actually pronounced like Dom. Cafe Dom. I don't know. The Ames girls will know what I'm talking about, but there's a cafe in Ames in downtown Ames. And I Kenzie and I went today after we worked out, and I got the cherry almond latte. It was phenomenal. So I just, I just love like a springy, like not even springy, like fruity flavored latte. I guess like all of mine are like fruit, like, well, marshmallow is not a fruit, obviously. Duh. Banana, cherry. What was the first one I said? Oh, Cheerio. That's obviously not fruit either. But oh, and I love blueberry coffee from Duncan. So anyway. Where was I going with that? Um, oh, the Haysister event. Okay, so we went to Northern Vessel, we got the cute coffee, and we drove to Riverside, and we helped Lexi set up the um venue, which was super cute. If you're in the area, Copper Creek Ridge, I think was the name of it. It was a really cute venue in Riverside. And then Kenzie and I stayed at the Riverside R um Casino Hotel, and it was fun. We played at the roulette table. Kenzie loves roulette, and I actually I've never played on like an actual table. I've only been to places where, or I've only played at places where it's just like digital, and that's how this one was. So we played digital roulette, and I won$3.50. Yeah. And okay, I know it's like, okay, that's nothing, but it felt better because I put in 20 and I came out with$23.50. So I was like, okay, I made$23. Obviously, I didn't make$23, but Kenzie walked out with zero. So she lost$20 and I made$3.50. So I was like, hey, I'm feeling good. Um, and then we got up early the next morning and went to the event, and it was a great day. We helped run it. I mean, okay, I'm not giving Lexi enough credit. She did everything blood, sweat, and tears for the past few months to get into this event. We just helped Day of with like music and setting the tables, like really. Um, but it was really fun. I liked like being a part of the event, but also helping kind of behind the scenes and like getting up and moving around um to help out. So it was great. It was uh super fun. We had lunch catered from this local Italian restaurant in Washington, and now I can't remember the name, but it was phenomenal. And I sat and talked with the guy who runs it with his wife, I believe. And he's I I assume he's from Italy. He has a very strong Italian accent. Um, and him and his wife were speaking Italian to each other. So I'm like, I think they definitely lived in Italy or were born there or whatever. But we were bonding over Italy because he's like, Have you ever been? And I was like, Yeah, I've actually went a few summers ago, and now I'm going again this summer. Like I leave, like I leave in like a month, and he was like, Oh, Italy's just the best, and I don't know. Oh, wait, I just remembered the name. Cafe Dodici. Yeah. So if you're in the South, wait, Northeast, South, Southeast Iowa area, you should go there. It's really good. We I just learned all the local like southeast spots. It was really fun. So yeah, that was um that was fun. I'm glad that Lexi asked. Um, I obviously Kenzie was gonna go, but I'm glad that she, I'm glad that I got to go too because it was really fun. Oh, and Caleb Wise was there. And if you don't know who that is, you should look him up. Um, I didn't know who he was until I started working for Midland. And Sarah, my boss, she loves him. Like, not only does she love his content, but she's like the way he does marketing is like amazing. And he actually was the first speaker at Haysister, which was like a huge deal. He has he has 1.1 million followers on Facebook, he has like half a million on Instagram, I think probably around the same amount on TikTok. I mean, this guy is super famous, and Lexi got him to come speak. It was amazing, and he left um Haysister to go to New York and do. I thought he was doing like a book signing, but I must have been wrong because then he went on Kelly and or maybe he was doing both. Then he went on Kelly and Ryan, live with Kelly and Ryan. I'm like, oh my god, this guy's like a huge deal. So yeah, it was. I'm looking through my camera and I have a picture of him and Lexi, so that's why it rang a bell. But anyway, what else? Oh my gosh, how can I forget? Luke Combs. So that was the most recent endeavor. Oh my gosh, such a fun day. So it's well, I was like, what am I gonna talk about first? Okay, first of all, the weather. Like, could have been worse, could have been better. Um, but I was cold. I was planning on wearing, okay, start over. I knew I needed to wear my Takovas, my red Tacovas that I bought in Fort Worth, Texas. They're branded. Wait, what is that the word? I don't know, like they're stamped, branded, whatever, with my initials, and I just think they're adorable. And I was like, I'm wearing those no matter what. But in order to get the full effect, like I would have I had to wear like a short dress um to see the boots. And so I had a long sleeve dress and then a short sleeve dress, and the long sleeve, I was like, I'll just wear the long sleeve, I'll have my legs out, it'll be fine. Well, actually, when I was trying on dresses, the short sleeve on the look cuter, and so I was like, okay, I'm just gonna wear that. But it actually worked out because I wore that and then brought a coat, and so at the concert I just wore like the puffer coat and my like knees were out, but I don't know. I went back and forth. Like some moments I was like, I'm literally freezing, and some I was like up and dancing, and it was fine. So I don't know, it was great. I'm everyone and their mom and their dog and their sister were there, like literally everyone. So I don't need to give a whole rundown of the show because I'm sure you were either there or you know someone better than you know me that was there, so like yeah, but it was great. Um, and honestly, there wasn't a bad seat in the house. We were like in the bad seats, like you could say, like top corner, and it was phenomenal. So, like we couldn't see Luke barely. He looked like a little aunt, but it was still great. And I love you know, you guys, like I bleed red and gold. So, like it being in Jack Trice and him wearing an Iowa State hat, I was like, oh thank god. Like it just was so cool. Like, if that was at Iowa, I'm sorry, if it was at Kinneck, like it wouldn't have hit as hard for me because I'm like, ugh, like, yeah, it's cool, like it's at Connecticut. Like, no, it's at Jack Trice. Like, it's it was so cool. So, super fun day. Um, we got to like hang out at the bar before and talk to people, hang out with friends, and then um do the same thing afterwards. So It was great. And yeah, wait. Oh my gosh. I should talk about this. Okay. I'm completely switching subjects. So two weeks ago, actually, it was when I recorded last time. It was a Sunday night. We just got back from my grandma's, and Blake and I had Chipotle that day. We got back into town and got Chipotle for dinner. And my bowl, I get guacamole on it. I'll let me just tell you my bowl in case you're wondering. Brown rice, no beans, steak, queso. This like changed while I was on my diet because like I did less calories, but like if I'm gonna order like what I want to order, this is my bowl. Brown rice. I just said it, why can't I think? Brown rice, no beans, steak, queso, fajita vegetables, corn salsa, mild salsa, guacamole. And that's what I've gotten like all the time. Like I just, yeah, okay. Like I eat it all the time. Not okay, sorry. It wasn't out of the ordinary for me to get all of that on there. Well, that that'll make sense in a second. Well, I went to bed that night. Actually, it happened before bed. So Blake and I, we actually ate at like four that day. And by the time like seven or eight rolled around, I did not feel good. Like my stomach was really bothering me. And I went on a walk with my roommates, and I was remember thinking, like, okay, this is like I showered, put comfy clothes on, went on a walk, and I remember thinking, like, okay, my stomach will like de bloat and feel better after the walk. And it didn't. It felt the exact same. It was like really hard, really bloated, and just like painful. And I was like, oh my God, this hurts so bad. So I went to bed, really hurting, and put a heating pad on. Like I usually sleep with a heating pad, but I put it on my stomach and I was like, okay, I don't feel better in the morning. I woke up Monday in like cripple, like horrible pain. I actually woke up in the middle of the night before. Um, or yeah, like I woke up in the middle of the night, had pain. I probably was awake for I honestly my days got mixed up that week because I it was just terrible, but I think that was the night I was awake for like two hours, like tossing and turning, trying to get comfortable. My stomach hurt so bad. And then I finally got back to sleep at like 5 a.m. and I woke up again and it was so bad. Like I I won't like I can't explain it other than just like I couldn't walk straight. I couldn't walk straight. That's not what I meant to say. I couldn't walk like straight up. You know when you have such a this only happened to me like a handful of times. And you know when you have such a bad stomach ache that you like just have to hunch? Like that's how I was. Like I was in the kitchen trying to make food and I was just like hunched over the counter. Like nothing. And it was like my pants weren't too tight, like it was nothing except that my stomach just hurt so bad. And I have said before on this podcast, I think I'm allergic to guacamole. Well, I think the Chipotle bowl, it finally caught up to me. So, like I was rambling on earlier saying I eat it all the time. What I meant is like I eat avocado all the time. And every time I would be like, oh, my stomach hurts a little bit, but I never would really, I don't know, it wouldn't like take me out. But this time it took me out. I was not okay. So that whole day, I'm I I kid you not, the whole day I spent with a heating pad on my stomach. Well, okay. Uh I did go to the gym that morning with Kenzie because I was like, I just need to walk. Because of course I'd been up since 5 a.m. like talking to ChatGBT, like what the hell's wrong with me? And basically chat was like, and I said guacamole or avocados have bothered me before, but never like this bad. And they it said, What other foods bother your stomach? And I said, hummus bothers my stomach too, even though I I love hummus, like I literally just had some tonight. Like, but it's not like it doesn't take me out that bad. I don't know. I have stomach problems, I always have. Anyway. So chat's like, you're not allergic, because if you were allergic, you'd start to get like swelling, itching, you know. And I was like, okay, no. It said, I think you have FODMAP. It's an acronym, F-O-D-M-A-P. Or FOD MAPS, M M-A-P-S. I don't know. And it said, basically, it's where sometimes your body can't digest um foods, and so avocado is a very common one for people that have this. Your body can't digest it, and so you it basically sits in your stomach and just ferments, and then like it doesn't ever like leave, like it it ferments and it expands, which causes like bloating and gas pain and stuff. And then I I guess I don't know, but that's what it said happened. And I was like, yeah, that feels like what's happening, and it was like telling me the symptoms, and I was like, Yes, that's exactly what's happening. And it said some other foods that it can happen is hummus. Um, it also said like garlic and onions, which like I eat every day, and like maybe that's why I have stomach problems every day. I don't know. Um, and then another one was dairy, and I was like, well, yeah, I like don't eat dairy. So I don't know. I think I think I'm done with avocados, which is so sad because I love guacamole and I love avocado toast, and I like I don't know, I'm just really scared to try it again because then that was Monday, so I went to the anyway, sorry, I'm getting really off topic, but ChatGPT was like, what you need to do is like drink warm water, use a heating pad, and honestly, maybe get a little like movement in to like get things flowing, if you know what I mean. And so I went to the gym and I walked on the treadmill, but I literally like I was at the hunch phase. I probably walked at like a 1.5 speed, like I it was terrible. And then I went and sat in a massage chair for 20 minutes while Kenzie finished her workout because I genuinely couldn't move. And so then I came back and then I had the heating pad the rest of the day, and I still just really hurt and I could like barely eat, like everything I ate hurt. And chat was telling me, like, don't eat this because it's too fatty. Don't eat this because like it was telling me to eat like a banana, and I was like, I don't have a banana.
unknownI don't know.
SPEAKER_00So then Tuesday I woke up, felt great. Like all day I was like, okay, it's gone. Like, maybe I just had like maybe it was just like extreme, extreme gas pains, which I think is what it was essentially, but it was like really hurting. And I was like, okay, well then Wednesday I woke up. Okay, I don't want to get too graphic, but how do I say this? I couldn't leave the bathroom for more than 10 minutes before I was back again. It was horrible. It was like one extreme to the next extreme. It literally, I didn't get out of my pajamas all day because I was from bed bathroom, bed bathroom, and then drinking water, and then trying to eat something, and then I I assume it was just my body trying to get rid of whatever had fermented in my stomach. Oh my god, it was terrible. It was genuinely a miserable three days. Well, it was really only two days that it was bad. But I was supposed to go to work that day, like all day. And I was like, I can't. Like, I can't. Um, so we had to move it to the next day, which was fine, but I had to like door-dash. Chat kept telling me to eat bananas. I was like, I don't have any bananas. So I door-dashed bananas and sorry, everyone, antidiarrhea medicine, because that's what was happening. And I just could not. Okay, now I'm feeling like embarrassed that I just said that, but just don't judge me, okay? It's normal, it happens to people, okay. Um, it was just, oh my god, it was a crazy few days. So anyway, all that to say, and I literally could have just wrapped that up by saying, I can't eat avocados anymore because my stomach hurts. But you guys know me. I have to give you every single detail, way too many details of my personal life, okay? So yeah, that's that's my life um since the last time we talked. And now I want to get into this fun little prompt that I did. And sorry, I have two Lola blankets on me, and I'm literally sweating. So I need to fix my position. Okay. So on my long story longer Instagram, I posted a fun little prompt that said, I would be unbearable if and I got this idea. I actually don't know where I got this idea at. Um, I've seen it like it's kind of that trend on TikTok where it's like, once I do this, like you bitches better watch out. You know what I mean? It's kind of like that, but I didn't really know how to word it. So um, it's essentially like if I had this, I'd be unbearable, or like I'd be basically like unstoppable type of thing. But it's just funny. So I hope you're like understanding what I'm saying. Um, let me pull up the shoot, it's been longer than 24 hours, so I have to like do a whole thing to find the submissions again. Oops. I have some on my own, and then I also have your guys's. So okay, I'm just gonna start reading them. And then I can like, I'll just I don't need to like say mine like in the beginning or the end. I'll just like kind of talk as we go through. Okay. So first, if I could sing, I couldn't agree more. Like, this is literally one of mine. I wish that I had like a gorgeous, gorgeous voice. And I do not want to be a singer, a pop star, a country artist or music artist, whatever. I genuinely just want to be able to like sing for my friends or like sing in the car, and people be like, oh my god, you have a good voice. Like, oh my gosh. I just or like singing karaoke at a bar and you're just like phenomenal. Like that sounds so fun to me. And the thing is, is I can like half-ass sing. Like I sang in high school in like theater and stuff, and like but when I like just like sing along to the radio, I'm not like it's not anything crazy, and so it's like I like feel it a little bit of a like, okay, like I just wish it was like a little bit, or I wish it was like I don't know what I'm trying to say. It's not like I'm like, oh my god, I have a worse voice I could never sing. It's like I just wish my voice was way better than it is. Anyway, um, okay, this one, literally. If I had long blonde hair. No one could tell me anything if I had long blonde hair. Like, and that's the thing, is I have had it, and I would feel like I was unstoppable. Like, and I know that shouldn't like matter, but I could get extensions again, but like I honestly just would rather not. Like, I just wish I had naturally long blonde hair because it's just gorgeous and all the hairstyles. But I will say, I love having short hair. Like, I'm glad that I like the look of short hair on myself so that I don't have to like feel like I need extensions or whatever. So I'll probably just have short hair forever, but anyway. Um, okay, if I could dance, this is kind of another one with the singing thing. Like, if I could just okay, honestly, for me, it's just like be flexible. I was gonna say if I could like touch my toes. Like if I could like just do a cool jump, like or like a couple spins or something, like I don't know. Being being able to dance would be so cool. I also feel so like I'm the most unflexible person ever and like just like stiff and like I don't really have movement. Like in my head I do, but like my body can't execute. And so like if I could just go on a dance floor or like even be at the bar and just like be able to like move to the music in like a natural way and not look so awkward, I would love that. Anyway, next if I was TikTok famous, literally, literally, like no notes, yeah. Just yeah, if I was TikTok famous, I'd be unbearable. Like you would never see the end of me. And I'm not TikTok famous, and you still will never see the end of me, okay? This goes back to the singing one too, like I would just constantly sing, like I would be unbearable. Like, you're in the car with me, I'm belting. Walking around the house, I'm belting. Like, if I had a good voice, I would do that. Next. Oh, this one. Yep, I agree with you. She says, my luscious locks weren't extensions. Yeah. Sometimes if you want those luscious locks, you just gotta pay for them. Okay. I would be unbearable if I actually woke up from my morning workout. No, so true. Because like when I go to the gym, everyone will know. I'm unbearable. I'm every not I'm exaggerating, but like I send you a Snapchat, the filter's on. Yep, I'm at the gym. I make a TikTok, I'm at the gym. I talk about my day. Oh, this morning I went to the gym. Any conversation I have that day, what'd you do today? Uh or how are you? Good. I went to the gym this morning. I'm like really tired. Like, I'm obviously exaggerating a little bit, but like I totally agree. Um, okay, if I could do the if I could do a backflip or the splits. Literally. Like this is what I was saying. If I could just imagine you're just with a group of people and you can do a backflip. Like, oh my gosh. I'd be flipping for days. And the splits, too. Imagine being at a party. You drop down into the splits. You're in a dance hoff, you do a backflip, you do the splits. When would you ever be in a dance off? I don't know. That's never happened to me, but in case it does, it'd be nice to have the skills. Okay, this one is literally me. If I didn't have to take, I would be unbearable if I didn't have to take an afternoon nap. No, because same, because imagine how much more I could get done if I didn't have to take an afternoon nap every day. And someday I'm not gonna be able to do that, I realize, and that day's gonna suck. Um, but right now, while I can, I'm gonna take an afternoon nap because I'm tired. Like, sorry, but I am. And if I'm tired, I'm gonna take a nap. And that's why it's 11 p.m. and I'm recording and I don't feel tired because I took a tour nap today. And that's why my sleep schedule's messed up. But what are you gonna do? I would be unbearable if I actually liked going to the gym. Literally, literally. Like, it's so hard to go. But if I liked it, I'd be more unbearable. Like, if one of your hobbies, like, okay, say someone asks you your hobbies. I like reading, I like walking. No, not that. I like reading, I like hanging out with friends, I like going to the gym. When I hear people say their hobbies going to the gym, I'm like, what? Who hurt you? Like, oh my god. Which I will say. I will, will, will, I will say. Which me six months ago would be like, what? I totally can't see this during the 75 Heart Challenge when I was forced to go to the gym every day. I started to look forward to it because it was like an alone time for me, where, and you guys know I listen to a lot of podcasts and like a lot of well, yeah, just podcasts, I guess. Audiobooks sometimes. But I started to look forward to the gym because I knew it was at least an hour where I would have my headphones in and I would look for I the biggest thing was finding something to look forward to. So like look forward to a podcast episode that I was gonna listen to, and I like really was excited to go and like have alone time, and then I knew I would feel good after. So, like I get it. Like, if I actually liked going to the gym, I would be even more unbearable because yeah. Um, if I had natural freckles and long lashes, yeah. Thankfully, I do have long lashes, but natural freckles, I I'm with you, I would be unbearable. Every, everything I'd be like natural, like you wouldn't have to wear, okay. No, I would that's not what I was gonna say. I put um, or what I was going to say was I put like fake freckles on sometimes and I love them, but I'm like, wow. Imagine if my face was just like naturally had these on them, which they do in the summer, but sorry guys, I'm getting so like tired and like I just said I'm not tired, but I'm like trying to think of words and I'm like, what? Okay, I just need to start like saying these and not explaining on everyone. Okay, so natural fuck with long lashes, agreed, period. Um, if I had my dream body and was a morning person. Yeah. And then another one is if I was a skinny queen. I mean, yeah, that's an obvious one. Like, obviously, a lot of people's like one wish would be like to have the body they want or to be skinnier or whatever, which I don't know. I'm I mean, like, yes and no, everybody wants to be smaller, but then I feel like when you get smaller, then you're like, okay, now let's get smaller, or like you're still not happy, and it's like, okay, maybe that wasn't actually the root of your unhappiness, was your body, maybe it was other things. I don't know. But I completely understand with like, yeah, if I had a skinny, if I was like super skinny or skinnier than I am, or whatever, that I'd be unbearable because like yeah, I don't know. I'm I I don't want to get into all that. I I could talk for hours about just body stuff, but that's not for today. Okay, the last two, I save for the end because I want to talk a little bit about this, but one is if I didn't have anxiety, and one is if I didn't have absolutely crippling anxiety lol. Yeah. Um, agreed, totally agree. Um, I've been thinking lately about how I think I might want to do an episode about just like my anxiety journey. I know I've said that at the beginning of my podcast, but I'm coming up on a year of being on medication, and it has truly like changed my life 180, like, and I just kind of want to like word vomit all my thoughts about like anxiety and like living with it and how it was like because like I don't know, obviously I'm not in other people's like bodies and know their feelings, but like mine was so bad, and like I put on a good face for it, but like it was so bad, like affecting my day-to-day. I mean, I don't know. I I I just kind of want to make an episode about it, but I'm also scared to be like a little v vulnerable. Like I I don't know. I'm I like wear my heart on my sleeve, but when it comes to like being vulnerable and like talking about that stuff, which is like what's the word? It's just it it is more talked about now, but it's still not like kind of it's not something that's like brought up in a daily conversation. So I don't know, I just get a little scared, but I I think I want to make an episode on that, and it just basically would be like well, I don't need to get into it because I haven't really thought about it. Well, I haven't really thought about it. Yeah, literally all I think about. Um, but yes, I I agree. Um anxiety completely rules your world, and if you didn't have it, yeah, you're you'd be unbearable because you'd literally be unstoppable because it is so draining and fixing it, which it's hard for me to even say because I don't think it'll really ever be fixed, but just makes your life like so much better. Um so anyway, I guess I don't really know what else to say about that besides I might make an episode on that. Um, but just know that I'm a little scared to. So, yeah. Cause I basically like developed anxiety in college. Like, if you would have asked me in high school what anxiety is, I would have been like some made-up thing that people say they have. Like, genuinely. Like, I didn't know what it was really. And then I got to college and I was like, oh, oh, this is real. And then it just honestly, it kept getting worse and worse for like two years until finally I was like, okay, I've got to change something. So yeah, I I kind of just want to talk about it. Also for like just like a diary for myself, because like right now I remember how miserable those days were, but like, I don't know. I kind of just want to like get it out so I have it somewhere. Honestly, maybe I'll just record it for myself and just keep it on my computer. Cause I've never really like sat down and talked about my whole journey like beginning to end, which I would really like to do. So anyway, because boy, it was a journey. Um, but again, not one that I really like was super vocal about. But yeah. Okay, guys. Well, it's been fun. I don't think I have much else. I'm gonna go to sleep now. Um, and thanks for listening.
