  Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Eye Opener Society. Thank you again so much
• 0:04
  for hitting the play button, for listening to us, for downloading.
• 0:08
  We really enjoy you, the audience, and that's why I brought Hannah back.
• 0:13
  What's up, Richard? Yeah, Hannah's going to be back.
• 0:16
  We're also going to have a whole bunch of other people coming on,
• 0:20
  whether it be Elaine from Arcane Oracle and Lun from Haunted and Waiting or
• 0:24
  Sunset Child from Sunset Child's Out There podcast.
• 0:28
  I'm also planning very soon, since Hannah and I are back, I'm going to bring
• 0:34
  Brittany back too as well. It's Brittany bitch.
• 0:36
  Yeah, we're going to bring Brittany back because last interview she did with us was so awesome.
• 0:42
  We had a great time with that.
• 0:45
  And I would like her to interview us again now that we have kind of reunited.
• 0:50
  So I'm going to try and set that up.
• 0:52
  I know it's a little difficult with everybody and schedules and everything else
• 0:55
  that's going on in everybody's life.
• 0:57
  And that's what the show is about. It's about life. The everyday,
• 1:01
  you know, trying to pull through, trying to get some inspiration,
• 1:04
  trying to stick some spiritual stuff, some metaphysical stuff,
• 1:08
  as well as some haunted stuff and ghosts and whatever else we could find.
• 1:12
  We like to be all over the place, but we still like to focus on everybody to focus in on your life.
• 1:20
  We'd rather see everybody happy than miserable. And it's difficult because a
• 1:24
  lot of times we feel that way, too.
• 1:26
  So Hannah, here's something I found Again, I like to Since we didn't have any
• 1:31
  topics I just figured I always have something in the bag We're rolling with
• 1:36
  this one So I find a little quote I'm going to say the quote and then we're going to discuss it,
• 1:41
  So this one Probably fits a lot of situations It's better to admit You walk
• 1:47
  through the wrong door Than spend your life In the wrong room Do you want to
• 1:53
  take that one first? Yeah,
• 1:56
  Yeah, I guess. So that quote obviously resonates with me.
• 2:03
  I said my last, you know, my welcome back podcast, basically,
• 2:07
  I'm going through a divorce.
• 2:10
  And like I said, I'm not going to get into, you know, my details or anything like that.
• 2:14
  But I think when it comes to my situation, it's just, I realized that I did
• 2:23
  walk through the wrong door. That door provided me a lesson.
• 2:27
  However, repeat the second part of the quote, please. Oh, yeah. I'll read it again.
• 2:31
  Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room. Yeah.
• 2:36
  So I walked through that wrong door.
• 2:42
  I did everything that I could. Um, but I realized that that room was not for me.
• 2:48
  Um, and so here I am, you know, it's been since October, I'm still in the thick of it.
• 2:55
  Um, but I removed myself from the room that I knew wasn't for me. And, um.
• 3:04
  Takes a while. And I'm still dealing with the mental back and forth of,
• 3:11
  oh, my God, this is like your life now.
• 3:13
  Oh, my gosh, like this happened to you.
• 3:16
  But I've come to terms with that. I had my strength to close that door and create
• 3:26
  my own room where I belong.
• 3:30
  So i think what um i like so much about this quote society and just life in
• 3:37
  general there's so many opportunities for us and there's always you know those
• 3:42
  opportunity knocks that's a door.
• 3:45
  Doors work both ways you could come and you can go you do not need to trap yourself
• 3:52
  in one room for the rest of your life if that room does not suit your needs
• 3:57
  or if you're not comfortable in it.
• 3:59
  And this also applies to the crowds you're around, the people that you keep.
• 4:04
  We don't need to remain with those crowds or in those rooms.
• 4:08
  We can turn around, we can walk out and we can function again and relearn ourselves
• 4:16
  and learn to adapt and find the rooms, find the crowds, find those people that
• 4:20
  we are most comfortable with,
• 4:23
  Because being in that wrong room with the door closed and you're constantly
• 4:28
  looking at that door, wondering what's on the other side, that's where we need
• 4:32
  to reach for that doorknob, turn it, open it up and see what's going to be presented to us.
• 4:38
  And that can go for like so much, like so many aspects of life,
• 4:42
  like relationships, jobs, friendships, like just anything in your life.
• 4:49
  Like it could be like a diet. It could be a diet, like something personal for
• 4:53
  you. It could be religion. It can literally be anything in life. Don't,
• 4:59
  If that door, like you said, if that room that you're in doesn't suit you,
• 5:02
  you any more than open that door and go explore like you're it's endless.
• 5:09
  And, you know, not saying like in or like a relationship type,
• 5:13
  like go sleep around or anything like that. You know what I mean?
• 5:16
  Unless you want to. Yeah. But I mean, that's not me, but good for you.
• 5:21
  That's how you want to roll. But, you know, it's just one of those things where
• 5:25
  it's like it's anything in life. If you don't have to, if you feel that it's
• 5:29
  not right for you, you don't have to be trapped.
• 5:32
  And I'm, it's, this is hard for me. I'm sorry. That's fine. Yeah.
• 5:37
  Well, we could present the room. A lot of these rooms, what happens is if you're
• 5:42
  in them and there's no windows and there's no.
• 5:45
  You feel suffocated. Yeah, you feel suffocated. You don't know.
• 5:48
  Again, you're trapped. You don't know what's on the other side of the walls,
• 5:51
  the other side of the door.
• 5:53
  And I'll tell you something it doesn't matter what point what stage
• 5:56
  in your life you're at young old whatever
• 5:59
  there's nothing wrong with changing there's
• 6:03
  nothing wrong with evolving there's nothing wrong
• 6:05
  with it at all you can do it at any point in your life
• 6:08
  and you don't need to feel worried about it
• 6:11
  it's liberating when you
• 6:14
  do make that change when you do decide hey I don't want to work in this job
• 6:19
  anymore and you go out and you find another job Or I don't want to be around
• 6:23
  these people anymore I don't want to do alcohol anymore No matter what it is
• 6:28
  You can make the change as long as you want to And you will persevere,
• 6:34
  Because you yourself really don't want to be in that situation Because if you're
• 6:38
  looking at that door and you want to get out,
• 6:41
  and you actually do, you've just succeeded in life.
• 6:45
  You made a move that's going to better yourself. Yeah. And as far as people
• 6:50
  who are like, well, I'm scared to open the door.
• 6:52
  I can promise you that I completely understand.
• 6:57
  More than I can say, I completely understand.
• 7:01
  But one day, and I swear to you, it's just going to be one random day.
• 7:07
  You're gonna you're gonna look at that fucking doorknob and
• 7:10
  you're just gonna open it wide and you're gonna slam that
• 7:13
  door shut and it's gonna be like monsters inc like you're
• 7:16
  gonna just demolish the door you're gonna put it through the shredder um
• 7:20
  because you realize that it no
• 7:22
  longer suits you and that room was
• 7:25
  actually slowly killing you um and
• 7:29
  it's so like you said it's liberating um to share
• 7:33
  somewhat personal i know everything that
• 7:36
  happened with me when i told gary i
• 7:40
  dropped to my knees in tears how i was devastated but at the same time it was
• 7:48
  like something lifted like it was like i felt something lift off of my soul
• 7:54
  like metaphysically physically.
• 7:57
  Emotionally everything so it was just such a overwhelming
• 8:01
  feeling for me where I was literally dropped to my knees and the feeling is
• 8:08
  like I said it's an overwhelming feeling you're not necessarily happy you're
• 8:11
  not necessarily sad it's just like that door drained you so much that it's just
• 8:16
  like this relieving exhaustion that you have,
• 8:19
  Yeah. And I remember that. And I know, because I listen, I've been through it
• 8:23
  to myself and more than once.
• 8:26
  And it is because, yeah, it's liberating. But at the same time,
• 8:31
  it's completely frightening.
• 8:33
  But change is never comfortable until you actually make the change.
• 8:38
  And to put things into a whole nother perspective on that, too,
• 8:42
  you may be in a room that something's wrong, something's off.
• 8:47
  Add color, change the furniture, change, make it suit you.
• 8:53
  Never settle for something that's not you. Yeah.
• 8:56
  I wanted to say that because let's say the room isn't that bad,
• 9:01
  you know, like it's not bad. It's just maybe you need adjustments.
• 9:04
  There's nothing wrong with adding a window, you know, and that is metaphorical, obviously.
• 9:11
  But, you know, making the changes, you're like, you know I love this room,
• 9:14
  but something needs to change.
• 9:16
  It's not necessarily that you want to leave the room or open the door,
• 9:18
  but maybe you want to add a screen door.
• 9:20
  So you're allowing other things
• 9:22
  to come in, but you're still in that safe room that you want to be in.
• 9:26
  Yeah. And that makes perfect sense. And that was good. I love it,
• 9:30
  man. I love having you back.
• 9:32
  Yeah. So definitely, if you apply this to your own life, think of the situation
• 9:36
  that you're in, figure out if it's something you need to change completely,
• 9:40
  where you need to change Do you need to shred that door?
• 9:43
  Yeah. Do you need to shred that door? Or you need to just add a pop of color.
• 9:47
  That's it. And I think that's what we hope for you.
• 9:50
  Because again, you, the audience, we don't know you, but we know a lot of people
• 9:55
  go through these little changes or big changes or whatever they are.
• 10:00
  And we hope we help you out a little bit with that, especially when we're not
• 10:03
  doctors or psychiatrists or anything like that. Far from it.
• 10:07
