I was about to say something.

Oh, so my biggest problem is, um, I say yes to everything.

I'm at this weird crossroad where it feels like a moral failing to say no.

But I just have to learn how to do it.

And it's definitely certainly a thing with like working freelance.

It's, I'm always like, well, yeah, I could, I could do, I could take on

more. I could do more. That's what it does is it becomes like, I remember that from when I kind of

stopped having a nine to five, I had like, you know, eight to ten. Like, it's, it's like you do,

when it's someone else, when you're working for someone else, you've always got that internal of excuse well but i have to go to work my boss will yeah stuff if i don't do this and then the second you don't have that kind of safety net yeah you you you take on and this is especially true i think for for someone like you, just taking all that on this personal

responsibility of like, it's a failure on my part if I don't do everything, because I've

got all this time.

Yes, and I think it's that I built that up over time, is that I built a standard, no one

else is holding this against me that I've done to myself that is now,

like, I just, I have to start learning to say no, because it's all of the things that I look at.

So I'm writing on a game full time right now, and I did something really good where I was like,

I don't think I can work next month.

And they were like, fine with that.

They were like, okay, you can just not work next month and we'll just pick your contract back up in May.

And I was like, really?

I was expecting to like be fired from this contract job that like is not you know it's full-time hours but it's not

like i'm not an employee like i like i was like oh amazing i respect it i love it like nothing

there is no faster way to earn my respect if we're working together than to set a boundary
