Couldn't sleep, took up 5 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,239 Speaker 1: every single night in my life for thirty years. Couldn't 6 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: sleep because the roommates in my head just did not 7 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: play along nicely together. So I just did whatever I 8 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 1: could to get myself some sleep.

I sat there in my bed and like, 28 00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 1: I'm a big God guy. So I do believe God 29 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 1: loves me because for me, like that's my choice. I 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: believe in God. I I this is not being pushing 31 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: religion on anybody, just for me. I've never felt alone. 32 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,640 Speaker 1: I felt like I had somebody there with me, walking 33 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: this walk with me always, and as a result, I've 34 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,720 Speaker 1: been able to go after my dreams really really, really hard. 35 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 1: And I always say to God, like, hey, I just 36 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to get me a job, and 37 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna blame you. If I don't get a job, 38 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,200 Speaker 1: I'll do it. Just help pick me up, brush me off, 39 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: Let's keep walking this walk together. I'll go after it. 40 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: I'll get rejected, i'll get shut out, no problem, I'll 41 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: do it. So I've always been a God guy, but 42 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: I've always felt like man, the universe must hate me 43 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,360 Speaker 1: because all I ever needed and wanted in my life 44 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 1: was love, and my whole life I felt unloved, like 45 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 1: I had one failed marriage that lasted not very long, 46 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: and I've just always wanted to be loved my entire life, 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: and man, even a little kid, that's all I dreamed 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 1: of and I've never really had it. And I felt like, man, 49 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: I must be a horrible person if I just can't 50 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: get love and and love on many different areas, not 51 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: just you know, romantically, but just I've always just felt unloved. 52 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,679 Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there and I'm just trying to heal 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 1: the little kid and me. It's literally like the universe 54 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: and God talked to me, and what I heard was, 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: nobody's against you here, but we needed you to feel 56 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: this kind of pain so you could help others through THEIRS. Man, 57 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: it's pretty powerful, like we needed you to feel this 58 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: type of pain because you're gonna help a lot others 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: with THEIRS. But at the same time, we needed you 60 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,480 Speaker 1: to see we made all your other dreams come true 61 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: to keep you afloat.
