“I came out of there calm.
I was just me.”

There was an injury, you know, when I was a kid. Cut my knee open. It wasn't the knee that was painful. The painful part was the embarrassment because the girl that I had a crush on was there and saw me being tended to. It was that feeling of helpless that actually is what stuck with me. The reactive mind was just connecting it.

Here is a girl, here is a moment of you being weak. You have to be stronger. You have to do this. You have to build walls. You have to be a man. You have to be, “Grrrrrr.” So, we got to the root of it. Boom! All that—that connection just releases. It’s gone.

I came out of there calm. I was just me. I said, “Hey everyone. I’m just me.”
