Everyone and welcome to it this week's episode of Happy Hour. I'm your host Gretchen Garry. I know we all know. It's just me or just me chillin.

Feel like after all this, you know, pandemic that we're living in, maybe I can get some more guests on here because it's a lot just being alone all the time.

I'm sure you guys get sick of just me. So I just thought of that just now how it's always fun having a guest. And you know who we really need on here?

My mom, if you guys didn't know, I'm back home in Albany, New York right now where I'm from. I'm a mom's house living with her.

And it's been really good, but also like challenging in different ways. And I'm sure you've already looked at the title.

And know that this is a, I should just say first and foremost, right? This is a deep, heavy hitter, heavy hitting topic, right?

Yeah, sorry for being a little heavy this week, but to be honest, it's kind of just like the mood I've been in, like the feelings that I've been feeling.

So I'm like, I'm not going to be fake over here and pretend that everything's like amazing all the time.

And you guys know, obviously I like keeping it really positive and happy for this hour of happy talk, but sometimes like we need to just get real.

So if you are like not wanting to hear about how it's okay to be sad sometimes and how it's okay to not be okay.

If you don't want to hear about that, maybe just listen to one of my other episodes. But I think it can be really helpful and relatable.

And like when I hear anyone else talk about this type of stuff, I'll usually cry a little bit. And it just really like hits me deep in my heart, you know?

And it just makes me feel better. So I don't know. I just think it's important to talk about. I'm sure I'll feel like a little uncomfortable talking about this.

And I hope I don't get emotional. Gosh, I feel like I cry.

Every YouTube video and podcasts these days, don't I?

I feel like this sort of thing will come up time to time again in my podcast randomly. Like I forget which podcast it was.

If you guys listen to all of them, maybe you remember, I feel like I had nothing to do with this sort of thing.

And somehow I got sidetracked. I digressed and I thought about people living with mental illness. And it just gets me really sad.

And I started crying. And so I'm sure when I talk more about it today, yeah, I'm sure I'll cry. But I hope I can keep it under control a little bit.

So anyway, let's just catch up for a sec right now. I'm back in Albany. Like I said, you guys know I moved out of my apartment in Boston.

And that's what last week's episode was all about. I literally just kind of caught up with you guys. But more just talked about like my plans, like my life plans, my moving plans.

I guess if you miss that, I will quickly recap. And if you already listened, hopefully this doesn't bore you. But I have lived in Boston for, well, I wasn't say the last year.
