00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:02.000 Like, it's how I feel about it. 00:20:02.160 --> 00:20:05.279 So then I ask myself why I feel that way. 00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:07.440 Because you can't change the other person. 00:20:07.599 --> 00:20:08.559 That's on them. 00:20:08.799 --> 00:20:10.160 That's not on me. 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:16.880 And I completely support and agree that everybody has the right to say whatever they want. 00:20:17.119 --> 00:20:19.279 If I don't like it, I don't have to look at it. 00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:20.720 And that's the truth. 00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:22.079 So I don't. 00:20:22.319 --> 00:20:24.240 For the most part, I don't. 00:20:24.400 --> 00:20:36.240 I literally, for example, today when I got upset and just a little peeved actually, looking at those reactions to a post, I actually just turned it off. 00:20:36.319 --> 00:20:41.200 Like I literally scrolled off of it because I don't need that energy. 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:44.000 And that's, I think, where I'm going with this. 00:20:44.319 --> 00:20:50.000 Because for the most part, the energy behind the post is negative. 00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:56.480 The words are hurtful, or the words are spiteful, vengeful. 00:20:56.799 --> 00:21:03.839 They can sometimes maybe not the right sentiment that I know that the person maybe wants to share. 00:21:04.160 --> 00:21:09.440 And there have been times that for certain people I've actually called it out. 00:21:09.680 --> 00:21:10.960 And I'm not perfect. 00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:13.839 Oh my god, I am not perfect. 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:19.200 Nine times out of ten, I will not comment on anything because I know I will go off. 00:21:19.599 --> 00:21:36.480 I know I I will say something, I will post something in the heat of the moment through the passion, the energy, the the feelings, because being a water sign, I and a fiery redhead, hello, I can be a little tactless.
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:37.839 And I know that. 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:51.599 So I keep my fingers off the keyboard because there are certain situations that I really don't agree with, but I'm not going to put my energy into the supporting the other negative energy that's out there. 00:21:51.759 --> 00:21:53.359 That's not what I'm meant to do. 00:21:53.519 --> 00:21:56.079 I'm meant to build up the positive energy. 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:05.039 So when I've been talking to people who Js they are not the source of the negative energy, but they thrive on it. 00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:15.839 Or they they add to it in a way that I think not that they enjoy it, but I think it gives them a boost in some way. 00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.000 And I don't understand what way. 00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:21.839 I can't get into that right now because I don't understand it. 00:22:22.160 --> 00:22:24.960 But I will ask them to clarify what they mean. 00:22:25.119 --> 00:22:27.279 I'm not going to judge them for it. 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:28.079 Never. 00:22:28.319 --> 00:22:32.559 That that's their opinion, and they're simply entitled to it. 00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:34.640 But I'm going to ask them to clarify. 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:36.240 What did you mean by that? 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:45.359 Or I might ask them uh a more direct question to see exactly how they feel about the true situation. 00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:49.200 If I don't understand the situation, what if I'd never heard of it before? 00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:52.559 And I don't have an opinion because I've never heard of it. 00:22:52.720 --> 00:23:03.519 Like I had a friend ask me before I was actually like fully aware of what was going on in the Middle East, for example, between Israel and I don't know. 00:23:03.759 --> 00:23:04.559 You know what I mean. 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:05.680 Iran, I think. 00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:10.880 Anyway, uh they asked me my opinion on one of the countries. 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.319 I can't even remember which one. 00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.519 And this was months and months and months and months and months ago. 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:18.079 And my answer was, what do you mean? 00:23:18.319 --> 00:23:20.480 I have no opinion on that country. 00:23:20.720 --> 00:23:22.000 I don't live there. 00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:24.079 I don't have people there. 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:32.400 It's not that I don't care, but I don't have an opinion on support or no no support yet because I don't know anything. 00:23:32.559 --> 00:23:37.200 And I can't just have an opinion because my friend has an opinion. 00:23:37.359 --> 00:23:38.640 That's not how I work. 00:23:38.880 --> 00:23:43.519 I want to understand what's going on and I want to formulate my own opinion. 00:23:43.680 --> 00:24:00.079 Um, and I think that's healthy, but what I don't think is healthy is jumping on bandwagons and joining in on the heat of the moment when it's posted on a social media platform, regardless of what platform
that is. 00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:06.640 So that was a long-winded fucking thing about why I don't post on social media. 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:08.799 But it's the truth. 00:24:09.039 --> 00:24:10.319 It is the truth. 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:14.480 Um, further to social media though, let's let's pivot a little bit. 00:24:14.720 --> 00:24:15.279 Pivot? 00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.119 Does anybody know that reference? 00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:18.400 I hope you do. 00:24:18.640 --> 00:24:22.079 I hope I'm not that old, and I hope it's not that old. 00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:24.000 You should know that reference. 00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:27.519 Comment if you knew that reference where it was from. 00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:34.559 Okay, so pivoting to other areas of social media that I'm just not a fan. 00:24:34.720 --> 00:24:36.960 I'm not not not a fan. 00:24:37.200 --> 00:24:45.359 And that is the overwhelming amount of information that is what is the word I want to use? 00:24:45.519 --> 00:24:46.960 Um, not informative. 00:24:47.359 --> 00:24:50.319 It's n there I mean there are pieces that are. 00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:54.400 That's that's just gonna confuse this the point I'm trying to make. 00:24:54.559 --> 00:25:03.279 But there are pieces uh and content on social media that not that it's oh my god, what's the word on I don't know. 00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:04.880 Let's let's talk it through. 00:25:05.119 --> 00:25:08.000 Okay, so let me give you an example. 00:25:08.160 --> 00:25:11.759 Maybe I'll come up with the actual true words and the analogy. 00:25:12.160 --> 00:25:19.680 Um, so I saw a Facebook post on not Facebook, maybe it was TikTok, Instagram, anyway. 00:25:19.839 --> 00:25:25.119 I saw a social media post and it was about witchcraft, paganism, I think. 00:25:25.200 --> 00:25:26.880 But anyway, it was about witchcraft. 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.519 And I was watching the the reel. 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:33.759 It was a short, like a reel, and it was pretty good. 00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:35.680 I I I was enjoying it. 00:25:35.920 --> 00:25:45.920 To me, personally, if I feel like something resonates with me, like I feel a connection with it, and I'm using intuition here a lot, guys. 00:25:46.160 --> 00:25:46.720 A lot. 00:25:46.880 --> 00:25:51.680 It's not that I'm like researching right then and there, is this true? 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.960 Is this person being factual and relevant and blah blah blah blah blah? 00:25:57.119 --> 00:26:01.759 Do they cross their T's, dot their I's, did they get everything correct? 00:26:02.079 --> 00:26:07.519 No, I'll do that later if I actually apply what they're saying. 00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.119 I'll do my research. 00:26:09.440 --> 00:26:17.279 But if something feels like I feel a connection with it, if it feels good to me, like it. 00:26:17.440 --> 00:26:19.599 Regardless of what source it came from. 00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:33.839 If I feel good about it, like, and I I've been said, it's been said many, many, many times, and not just not by me, by other people, that my intuition is like really fucking good. 00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:35.200 Just gut intuition. 00:26:35.359 --> 00:26:36.160 Gut intuition. 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:41.279 Like to meet somebody and know immediately, I like you or I don't. 00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:41.839 Period. 00:26:42.000 --> 00:26:42.799 Full stop. 00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:43.279 Period. 00:26:43.440 --> 00:26:45.279 Actually, let me go there for a second. 00:26:45.440 --> 00:26:47.200 See, I told you I was gonna be jumping around. 00:26:47.279 --> 00:26:50.000 This was gonna be a fucking ride, so I hope you're holding on. 00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:57.920 So I know this person, this there's one person I know that when I oh my heart hurt for a second. 00:26:58.079 --> 00:27:02.400 I hope none of you are having any chest problems or heart problems out there. 00:27:02.559 --> 00:27:03.279 Heartache. 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:04.720 Did you break up with somebody? 00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:05.279 Oh. 00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:06.880 Anyway, I hope not. 00:27:07.039 --> 00:27:08.559 But if so, I'm feeling it. 00:27:08.799 --> 00:27:19.359 Anyway, um saying, yes, I I I started in this organization and I meet this person that's leading the organization, okay? 00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:31.759 And the only association that they would have with me is to tell me when this organization was meeting and what the payment is to be there. 00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:33.920 Okay, okay, no problem. 00:27:34.319 --> 00:27:51.119 Very minimal dealings as far as like face-to-face interactions or like long conversations or anything, very minimal with that, and I was okay with that because the energy from this person was extremely, extremely negative. 00:27:51.680 --> 00:28:03.440 Like there were moments of hostility almost, and not towards me, just in general, just a general energy, and I'm not about that energy at all. 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:07.920 So, first initial instinct was I don't like you. 00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:12.799 I don't there's something about you I don't like, and I trust my gut. 00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:14.160 I trust my gut. 00:28:14.400 --> 00:28:29.839 So I kept going to this organization, to the meetups and stuff, and I interacting and pleasantries and everything, but every time, oh, see the heart maybe it's that person. 00:28:30.079 --> 00:28:43.680 Um every time this person would um we would interact and we would have a longer conversation, and they would talk about like negative things, like how's a good what's a good example? 00:28:43.920 --> 00:28:51.920 They would uh say something like, Well, this is not um oh my god, what's a good example? 00:28:52.160 --> 00:28:58.640 This organization, this meeting is not going well because other people are also having meetings at the same time. 00:28:58.880 --> 00:29:01.920 Excuse me, how how how does that work? 00:29:02.160 --> 00:29:03.279 I don't understand. 00:29:03.440 --> 00:29:06.720 There's
plenty of people in our society to go to all the meetings. 00:29:06.880 --> 00:29:11.680 Like there's a hundred and some thousand people that live in our area. 00:29:12.000 --> 00:29:20.480 So if there was ten meetings happening at the same time and they were open to all people, then people would have choices, right? 00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.200 And they would go to the ones they want to go to. 00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:31.440 So I didn't understand why other people having meetings was a problem for us having them. 00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:33.279 Does that make sense to anybody?
