  SPEAKER_00: Consider this your warning.
• 0:40
  SPEAKER_00: If you hear me randomly singing, short, short, man, short, short, man, today, mind your business.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: Because apparently my brain will not get this song out of my head.
• 0:53
  SPEAKER_00: And I'll tell you why later.
• 0:56
  SPEAKER_00: And then I started thinking, well, why does our brain do this?
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Why?
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: Out of all the things I could be thinking about today, like my future, my goals, my responsibilities, my brain said, Nope.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Let's think about this song for the 47th song, 47th time.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_00: And a little fun fact is whenever I'm that friend, if somebody says some phrase, I'll start saying a song to go with it.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: So that's just a little tidbit about me.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: And speaking about that, I was thinking, okay, what's really going on in my head at 54?
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: If you could be in my head for a minute, I don't know.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe we're all like this.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: So what yeah, what have I been thinking about lately?
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: These were just some questions I wrote down.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: I have been thinking about everything.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: My future, some of my past, some of the present.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: I have experienced, you know, some good times, some bad times.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_00: I thought about yesterday's thing, and that relates to that song, which I already shared on a different episode.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_00: So if you heard that, you'll know.
• 2:08
  SPEAKER_00: And then some other questions, things that you're excited about.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited about going to my sister's for the Christmas season.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: That's what I do every year, and I love being there.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_00: And what am I worried about?
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: Well, at night, I don't know, some of you insomniacs may be laying down thinking about the day, what went right, what went wrong, what you should have done, what you should have said, what you said, just that kind of stuff, like rehashing the day or rethinking about things that are going on in my life.
• 2:48
  SPEAKER_00: What things are you worried about?
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: I am worried about not being enough, not being able to see, not being able to function, worried about my disability.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: I know this is when we all tend to worry.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: When our brain gets quiet for a minute, it's like, oh my gosh, what about this?
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_00: What about that?
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're like me, sometimes you just forget what you even worried about in the first place.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Now, my podcast, we'll talk a little bit about that.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's in my brain a lot.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh my god, I just have to do this.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if people are listening, I don't know if I'm helping.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_00: So I guess my ego's in my mind a little bit.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: I started this podcast in October.
• 3:47
  SPEAKER_00: I have a thousand, over a thousand downloads, and I'm like, well, oh, that's not very good.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, are you kidding me?
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: A thousand forty downloads.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm also like, two things can be true at the same time.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: Think about rebuilding my life, waiting for some of the disability to come through so I can set things up again.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: In the meantime, I've been clearing out what I could.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: I think of Steve Harvey when he said how his mom told him to get rid of his car in the driveway, some hoop-ty.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_00: And he finally did that, and then he got his a better car.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_00: And you can't get rid of stuff without.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Obviously, we have some attachments, but sometimes we're attached to crap.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_00: Crap we don't need.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_00: And what if you just let go of something like I let go of a lot of things?
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Better things are come, other things are gonna come.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_00: You need to learn to let go of some things.
