Treat it like a lesson. Oh, okay. So that was the worst lesson of my entire life. What class was that lesson even for? Emotional terrorism one tier one? What did I take away from that lesson? Don't open up. Don't be vulnerable. And if it's too too good to be true, it probably is. Thank you so much, Professor Lovebaum. I learned so much about myself and people I hope to never meet again. Come on.
