| but I hope, | 0:02 | |
| the lessons learned, | 0:05 | |
| I will always have. | 0:06 | |
| And I hope my old me, | 0:07 | |
| part of that, | 0:12 | |
| a big part of that I like to, | 0:13 | |
| to have back, you know, | 0:15 | |
| me who I feel I am, you know, | 0:17 | |
| you know, I like to have that back. | 0:20 | |
| And I think that takes time. | 0:22 | |
| That takes a long time, | 0:24 | |
| a lot longer than I had thought it. | 0:25 | |
| Interviewer | But you're working on it as I see. | 0:27 |
| - | I definitely, I mean, funny we meet today, | 0:29 |
| but | 0:33 | |
| really, really, | 0:36 | |
| few things happened the last two three weeks | 0:37 | |
| and very strange then, nothing, | 0:39 | |
| it's not like acting for this interview. | 0:41 | |
| But about, you know, short time ago, | 0:44 | |
| really days, weeks, couple of weeks, | 0:47 | |
| I started looking at myself and I'm thinking, | 0:49 | |
| well, | 0:52 | |
| maybe | 0:54 | |
| I am | 0:55 | |
| closer | 0:56 | |
| to where I want to see myself than I think I am. | 0:57 | |
| Like I'm feeling, I'm closer to normal, | 1:02 | |
| I'm close, I'm getting there, | 1:05 | |
| I could, I could actually sense it. | 1:06 | |
| And I, | 1:09 | |
| I wrote a letter to somebody | 1:11 | |
| and I wanted to tell them but I skipped it, | 1:12 | |
| but I was telling them like, | 1:14 | |
| they're going through a hard time. | 1:15 | |
| I tell them, look, it's been over four years | 1:18 | |
| and I'm just now, | 1:20 | |
| I am feeling, | 1:23 | |
| I can sense that I'm getting normal. | 1:24 | |
| I can actually sense, | 1:26 | |
| before I could sense definitely I'm not normal. | 1:28 | |
| And that's when I told my wife this, | 1:31 | |
| on many, many occasions. | 1:34 | |
| That this, I am not normal, | 1:35 | |
| but now I can sort of very slightly, | 1:36 | |
| I can sort of dare say, I am getting there. | 1:40 |
