David Gets Pulled Over
I was also going to say this. This is probably not a story for anybody on the podcast, but I find it— I find it really interesting to myself and it's really important to myself. So I just want to talk about it so I can document this moment. But like, I have like the smallest, smallest— some people say it's OCD, like the smallest level of OCD. I think everybody has some sort of it where it's like, if I don't touch if I don't touch that tree right now, I'm never gonna be successful, or I'm gonna have a horrible year if I step on one of these cracks in the next steps. And I do that throughout the day, like constantly, especially on my runs. On my runs, it's completely taken over. Oh, wow. And like my runs will be like, if I don't touch this light post, if I don't skip across this like crosswalk, like it's constantly happening during my runs, And it's been happening my entire life. And it's like a really small thing that I just kind of live with. I don't really care. But I found out a way to fight that and to combat it the other day, which I thought was so genius. I'm like, why have I never done this? There's only one other thing that I respect as much as me doing these little things, these little tasks I've given myself. And that's the word deadass. And before I started my run, I said, deadass, I'm not gonna do anything that I think I have to do to make myself more successful in the future. So now I'm running and like I have nothing in my way. So I'm not skipping, I'm not stepping on cracks, and I've literally fought my own like stupid thing I've made in my own head with my own other stupid thing I've made in my own head. So like I've just said that, I'm deadass, I'm done with it. And like every day I'll say that and I just don't do it.
