And I think, like, I'm not someone that suffers from burnout, where it's like, oh, I just did this hard project and now I just want to, like, chill for a while.

It's like, oh, I just did this hard project. I'm like, what to, like, chill for a while. It's like, oh, I just did this hard project.

Like, I'm psyched for the next thing.
