00:00:00
And what I learned very early on was
00:00:03
like the value of good friendships, you
00:00:05
know, and I I learned because of my mom.
00:00:07
I went home one day and my mom was
00:00:09
beaming, you know, I walked in with my
00:00:10
cousin and my mom's like, "Oh, how are
00:00:12
you, Buddhy?" And she's so happy. And
00:00:13
she's like, "Oh, nice to see you." And
00:00:15
and she said, "Oh, I'm so happy. I'm so
00:00:17
happy that you guys are spending this
00:00:18
time together." And I said, "Why are you
00:00:19
so happy?" And my mom said, "Because you
00:00:21
you spend all your time at at the
00:00:23
university." And I said to my mom, I was
00:00:25
like, "Mom, I don't go to university. I
00:00:27
just hang around and I do nothing. And
00:00:30
she said, "Yes, but the people you're
00:00:32
hanging around and doing nothing with
00:00:33
will inspire you to do more with your
00:00:35
life because they're doing something
00:00:37
with it." And I was like, "What?" And
00:00:39
she said to me, she was like, "You
00:00:40
cannot be around people who are moving
00:00:44
and not wish to move. Whether we like it
00:00:46
or not, the people around us are
00:00:47
affecting how we see ourselves and how
00:00:50
we wish to be seen.
