We will schedule an initial Interview during which we can discuss your goals and I can provide a more detailed explanation of my coaching services. This interview will typically last for 3-5 minutes.

The Coaching Plan may include various session types, such as:

• Theory sessions: These sessions will cover key concepts such as wave management, vision, decision making, and more.

Hi guys im 19yF Been diagnosed with Graves Disease for 2 months and on medication. My parents are very worried and have put me on a strict diet (no salt/suga gluten,dairy free/ vegetarian) as they believe i can recover fast doing so. However, as someone who was a big foodie, not being able to eat my favourite foods has taken away the simple enjoyments of my life and who i am😕
My right eye has become very swollened and I have gained alot of weight and constantly bloated. I have become extremely insecure and self conscious about my looks especially with the difference between my eyes and having many ppl asking me what is wrong with them. I have always been a stressed and anxious person but now everything feels worse with circumstances changing so suddenly like not being able to eat out/ snack/ being questioned.
I have let my close friends know about my condition but they all have seemed to dismiss the mentality I am having as they say many ppl go thru it and rhat i would be fine and are not inviting me out to dinners as I wouldnt be eating. (However, I dont expect them to do much as i understand they have their own life).
If u are still reading this im just wondering if anyone else is going thru/ have been thru something similar and any coping tips. Thank you for those who have read all the way I really appreicate it and im wishing u all the best 💕💕

I’m not interested in people who don’t give their introduction to me or saying only “ hi hru” and I won’t answer you in case u did not read my post clearly enough
Hi everyone, I’m looking for friends to do activities, talk with in daily life constantly during this school break for practicing my English.(I prefer vc but idm we chatting first)
First of all, I’m 21 college girl from South east asia (Yea, I’m Asian) I’m pretty introverted.Anyways, I’ll become to be a talkative persons once I get comfortable.
secondly, My hobbies are drawing, I prefer to draw in anime lines, playing pc games such as story games or coop sometimes on steam (we can play some games that we can coop)And, the last things is learning languages, I’m learning French and English right now, it will be good if I have some eu or the us friends to practice with.Morever, the things I really like is collecting K-pop albums, perfumes, and I also love fashion.I assumed you can count on me in term of fashionable.My style is Acubi, y2k, old money, and every core lol.
Finally, I mostly active on discord the most, and my intention is to make new friends here.And, I warn someone who has rude manner like text me without introduction or only flirting, you won’t give my reply back fr since I’m picky person to choose quality friends come into my life.
Bonus point : I really pref EU people, but not requested.If you feel like my post catch your eyes Feel free to dm me with ur introduction.

I think my mom has Se, Ni, and Te.... however, two people on my previous post believed she was xSFJ (but didn’t elaborate why). What do you guys think? Please explain why you think yes or no.
NEED TO BE PRODUCTIVE + BUSY

• Absolutely cannot relax without doing something productive first, even on the weekends.
• Once told my cousin (who worked 5 days a week 7am-5pm) that she should look for part time shifts on the weekend since she has all that free time. I legit thought she was insane for believing that.
• I often don't tell my mom when I have an off day because otherwise she would expect me to still be productive otherwise.

NEED TO BE THE BEST VERSION OF HERSELF

• Always keeps an eye out on how she can self-improve and be better. Be it aesthetically, financially, lifestyle-wise, health-wise, etc. She especially pushes it on to me. This also includes education and career, always pushing me to aim for better positions and get more degrees.
• Her favorite topic is finances. Always wants to know how she can live comfortably now and later. But this also causes her lots of anxiety.

UNSOLICITED ADVICE IN STEAMROLL KIND OF WAY

• She's very quick to help give advice to someone, but it's often unsolicited and also quite forceful. Instead of suggesting it gently, her wording is more like "you should do this, then tell them that, you have to also do this or else it'll cause you trouble." She means well, I just don't think it's appreciated or welcome
• Also does not realize that her advice is unsolicited. Which is ironic because she expects emotional support and sometimes lashes out at me if I just give advice, yet she does the same and doesn't realize.
• Really reminds me of Leslie Knope from Parks and Rec for this trait.

DEFINITELY JUST KNOWS THINGS

• Showed my mom this korean tv show, Fantastic Duo, where several contestants perform together and the artist of the song picks one to sing a duet with. Within legit 5 seconds of it starting, my mom pointed to one contestant and said "seems like she'll get picked" and she was right. I was shocked. I showed her another clip and she also immediately pinpointed the right person.
• When I asked her how she knows, she said she always has been able to know things like this without explanation. According to her, it just comes to her suddenly.

SOMETIMES SEEMS UNSURE WHAT TO THINK

• My mom has strong opinions and beliefs, and often cannot be swayed. A little stubborn. BUT there are times where it seems like she doesn’t have a strong opinion (or one at all), and then if I express leaning one way she will strongly agree with me and take on that belief.
• Not out of insecurity or “just because”, but it feels like she was on the fence with no strong opinion and then once seeing points made that she isn’t against, she will strongly agree and believe in it.

VERY ANXIOUS ABOUT THE FUTURE

• This might be an excessive amount for a function, but she's constantly anxious and she very easily spirals. She'll be fine one moment, then if I bring something up, she'll immediately spiral and won't stop ruminating about it even though I said it's fine and not a big deal.
• Also constantly worries abut making the wrong decision. Even if she made the right decision, she'll sometimes be like "What if we chose the other decision?" The reasoning for this seems to be more that she's considering too many perspectives and cannot decide what the overall right choice is.
• My perspective of her anxiety is that nothing can get her out of the muck. If I give her objective reasoning, it only temporarily relieves it and I can see it. She'll firmly say "yes you're right" with relief, but you can tell she still only says it tentatively compared to her usual self.
• Continuously repeats topics and points over and over within one conversation. Or she'll say ABC, then we move on, then a short bit later we come back to the conversation and she'll repeat ABC even if I provided moral support and logical reasoning to try to relieve her thoughts. Her repetitive points on her pain points go nowhere and is also never solved.

FIERY, AMBITIOUS PERSON

• Always been hot-headed and fiery, both in temper and passion. She has this aggression in her to want to get things done. Very Type A kind of person.
• The kind of person to thrive off of negative feedback so she can be like "I'll fucking show you"
• Constantly comparing herself to others like "oh this person has good traits, I should be like that too" or "this person's trait is bad, I know now to not be like that."
• The kind of person to say "there are no stupid questions" but then you ask one and she'll say "use your fucking head, what a stupid question"

RARELY SEES HERSELF IN THE WRONG, BUT EVENTUALLY SELF-REFLECTS

• Self-explanatory, but she very rarely sees herself as wrong. She is stubborn and will hold steadfast to her opinions and beliefs in the moment. I don't think I've ever heard her apologize, and especially not admit she was wrong in the moment unless there's concrete proof.
• That said, if you give her time to brood about it, she'll come around and admit you have a point. She still won't apologize, but she'll say it in a "I get it, objectively it's right" kind of way.
• E.g., she got PISSED at me a couple years ago for not making a big deal on mother's day. Then some months later, she and I were talking and she said "I even told the friend that we have to be understanding of our own actions. I got mad at Gorgo about not celebrating mother's day once, but then I later realized I can't blame her. We never celebrate holidays and I don't do anything big for her birthday either, so why should I have expected her to celebrate mother's day?"
• It was like an indirect admittance through an irrelevant conversation she had, something she never brought up with me.

CARES TOO MUCH WHAT OTHERS THINK

• Yes to what society thinks, but I mean this mostly with personal relationships. If she has to make a decision that benefits some people and not the others, she worries way too much how the unfavored people in the group will be impacted.
• One time we ordered custom clothing from a store, and we weren't very happy with the end result. The tip amount was up to us, so I stood firm on a certain amount. My mom objectively sided with me, but emotionally wondered if we should give more because even though the result wasn't good, the store owner still went through all that trouble.
• I feel like this goes hand in hand with her anxiety.

USED TO BE SPONTANEOUS AS HELL WHEN YOUNGER

• My mom has all these wild stories of her when she was younger. She'd be traveling across the country with her friends by train, then randomly she'd get off at a stop and be like "okay I'll see you guys back at home! I actually wanna get off here" shocking her friends. And this was pre-cell phone times too. My mom today cannot fathom how she never got kidnapped or something.
• Once, she got tuberculosis and had to be hospitalized for some days. Once she was discharged, she went straight to the salon, got her hair done, and went to the club to dance lol
• Definitely was the leader of her friend group and everyone always relied on her for fun and plans
• She no longer is like this. Could be due to growing up, could also be due to the after effects of depression she had a few years ago. More of a homebody now.

KEEN EYE FOR AESTHETICS

• I've always believed that if my mom led her ideal life, she'd be an interior designer. She has an eye for things, and I don't know how to describe it.
• One time, we were figuring out what to do with this blank spot in my room. We fiddled around for a bit, then she had an idea, went downstairs, hauled up the large ottoman we had and placed it there. Looked great immediately and has been there ever since!
• I don't remember this, but she has told me how everyone would compliment the outfits she'd pick out for me, or the younger girls at work would compliment my mom on her outfits. And genuine compliments, not fake ones, as she says.

MISC.

• Not into fantasy/sci-fi. You will never catch her watching that genre. She likes political movies, action, based on true stories, spicy romance.
• Not into deep talk. Very much talks about strictly relationships/people, productivity/how to be your best self either internally or externally, etc.
• Very spiritual and religious (buddhism).

Will answer any questions you may have. Thank you!!

I hate being told what to do and not do, what to say and not say, I want to be a pure, unfiltered and unbridled ball of pure energy and chaos, a little gremlin of destruction
I reject anyone who tries to control me, who tries to control others, I will stand up for the rights of others, I reject hypocrisy, I embrace freedom
I want to explore and experience all this world has to offer, I want to learn as much as I can, create beautiful works of music and art and writing, I want to be perceived as beautiful, I want to be the best at what I do, envied and admired because I fear being unloved and the more people that love me then the more people I can lose and still have more people loving me than if I started with less, I greatly fear abandonment and sometimes suppress myself to be accepted and I’ve recently decided I’m done hiding who I am
I have a tendency to overshare because I’m filled with constant anxiety and the need to share, it’s hard to not overshare because it feels like if I hide the negative aspects of myself from others, the dark twisted morbid thoughts and desires that I have no idea if they are true or merely intrusive thoughts I have deluded myself into thinking are true, if I don’t share that stuff it feels like I am being inauthentic but oversharing leads to losing friends and I greatly fear that
I have lashed out in the past for people abandoning me, adopted crusades of vengeance to ensure no one would want to be friends with those who abandoned me, I have since learned to not be vengeful and petty and to just accept that I don’t want to be friends with people who don’t want to be friends with me, and to accept they are bad people and undeserving of my friendship even if they are not bad and it’s actually me who’s bad if I tell myself they are bad then I am less likely to miss them regardless if them being bad is true or false
I want some close friends we can be our unbridled chaotic selves with together, deeply passionate and intimate, fiery in nature, loyal, and if I can’t find such friends I must distract myself from the pain of loneliness by any means necessary and I find that having high standards for myself which can be difficult and unlikely to achieve such as being the best at everything, the most beautiful person, rich and famous, to have goals like that that I am confident I can achieve despite those goals being difficult to achieve
to me those goals provide a distraction from my suffering, I’m tired of whining all the time, I want to act, I don’t want to be ordinary, to be like everyone else, I don’t exactly have a stable sense of self right now because of unmet mental health issues but to have no identity is terrifying
I rather die unknown and authentic than known and fake, if I am not unique then if someone loves me, how can I feel loved if what can be loved in me can be found in millions of others, if there’s nothing unique about me, then there is nothing uniquely me to love, I am me, I want to be loved for what is uniquely me, not for what millions of others possess
that’s another reason I want to be the best at what I do, beautiful, not everyone can be multi-talented so to me being so makes me more unique
I want to delve into many things, experience and learn many things deeply, to explore the fine details of stuff, to explore with all my senses, to not just dream about stuff but to actualize it, I’m very perfectionistic with my creative works
I wish I could live in whatever fictional/fantasy world I wanted, life can be outright boring and miserable at times and I must make the most of it
right now I am a very pessimistic miserable person, but I am just as equally if not moreso optimistic, I worry a lot, worrying about being a bad person, that I will never be happy and often feel I will have no choice but to end myself soon, but as long as I believe in myself and that good things will happen, it gives me hope, having goals that even I admit are highly delusional, gives me motivation to live
it gives me purpose, I can’t stand being without a purpose in life, I can’t stand being controlled, and I can’t stand having no identity, I want to spread my wings and be free, experience as much as possible before I perish, that is the only way to distract myself from pain, that’s why I want friends, I want to be loved and wanted, I want to help others and for others to be willing to help me
I hate suffering even for those who deserve worse than what they have received, and I do at times take pleasure in it, but I know it’s wrong to, I believe even the worst of people can change for the better and I will support them in doing so even if I will always hate them for what they did and never forgive them in a trillion years of good acts because nothing they could do can undo the harm they have caused
but even when I hate them I will support them in trying to be a good person as long as their desire is genuine, and not in a “them doing evil stuff mistaking it for goodness” kind of way, I mean like a person who used to murder now fighting to defend people’s lives and stop murders from happening and to catch serial killers, to catch people who they used to be like
I will support them in that even if I hate them and will never forgive them
sometimes I just wanna do nothing, sometimes I just wanna relax and give up on life, to do nothing, and dissociate from reality
but I don’t feel comfortable like that for long, I need excitement in my life, I have a lot of energy and love and creativity to share with others and the world, I must be unfiltered and uncontrolled, I must not merely survive, I must thrive, that is what it means to live, I will sacrifice my health and safety to experience the chaotic fun and affection I oh so desire, to be unloved is better than to be bored and miserable and unable to be authentic, to live without passion and excitement is truly miserable, relationships, food, those are merely tools for me to be able to experience excitement
I want friends to love deeply whom I’d never trade for the world, I want to experience intense, overwhelming affection for them, the euphoria of intense emotion and experience I desire greatly
i hate who I am now, I am a broken, flawed, ineffectual, bland, annoying person, lacking any energy to do anything with my life, I want to be how I described myself, chaotic, fun, imaginative, unique
I fully believe that who I am right now is not me, who I wish to be is the real me, the me I am too shy to express right now and need to develop the confidence to become
right now all I do is whine and complain about not being able to be who I want to be, experience and feel what I want to
I greatly envy others, those who aren’t broken and flawed like me, I wish they’d envy me, I wanna be fucking chaotic to the point of mental instability, I wanna live in the extremities, I don’t want to be perfect, I want to be flawed and broken, just not in a boring, constantly whiny way, I want to be broken in a beautiful way to be coveted and envied by others, for someone to see my broken state and be compelled to comfort me rather than try to change me, to save me by accepting me as I am
I have unstable sense of self and goals in life, the only one constant is that I want to be happy and to avoid pain unless it benefits me, sadness, anger, joy, all emotions are beautiful but when there is only one it becomes stale and overwhelming and suffocating
if there is only misery there is no happiness and if there is no misery the happiness becomes normalized and no longer feels euphoric because there is no sadness to contrast it
I want to suffer, just not forever and not too much, I just want to have a reason to live, to be happy, to have a purpose in life, I don’t want to die but if I have no reason to live what choice do I have
while my greatest fear in life is being unloved, my greatest desire is actually not social connection, it’s experiencing the intensity of life, intense experiences, intense emotions, I want a variety of experiences, to feel them in depth, a life without constant, intense excitement feels utterly restrictive and boring
most friendships do not satisfy me, I feel quite bored in most because most people do not satisfy my need for excitement, I’ll still stay friends because even a lack luster friend can still be more fun than no friend, but like I often say “I have no friends” or “nobody loves me” even when both are false because I do not have the friends I want and am not loved by who I want to love me
as I said, I want friends I can be deeply intimate with, fiery passion, unfiltered chaos, a complete lack of care of what others think of us, bold, confrontational, erotic
I don’t care how many friends I have, what matters is that they are intense and exciting, my desire for “many people worshipping me like I’m a fucking god because I fear being unloved” is a goal I am perfectly fine being without as long as I have the intense friendships, in fact that desire for “as many friends as possible” is nothing more than a way to deal with my loneliness, a worst case scenario for “I can’t find any interesting people to befriend so might as well get my excitement from a bunch of people loving me and worshiping me, but even then I still feel empty because there’s no one interesting for me to bond with”
to me social interaction is nothing more than a means for me to find people who I deem to be fun and interesting and to have as much intense, chaotic fun with them as possible, and if I have to sacrifice my health and safety to achieve that, i will 10/10 times
and if I have to cut off all my friends just to be able to hang out with 1 interesting person, I will do that 10/10 times
I can’t live without that constant source of excitement, I rather be alone than bored, which is why if I can neither find exciting friends or experience any kind of excitement to the extent that I want to, I will end my life without any hesitation whatsoever
if life does not life up to my ideals I must die, I have no interest in a boring, monotone life
I have friends but I’m lonely because they’re not the friends I want, they’re the ones I have because there’s no other people for me to hang with at the moment and friends > no friends
I want to be intensely desired, sometimes to the point of my wants and needs being ignored because the person desires me so much they want me for themselves and don’t care about whether I want to be with them or not
I want to have as much fun and chaos as possible in life

Trial Day 11
Katherine Jackson, Rebbie and Trent are at court.
Choreographer Travis Payne & Katherine Jackson spoke briefly in the courtroom before the jury came in. They seemed cordial
Travis Payne Testimony
AEG direct
Payne is wearing a black jacket with a gold emblem on the shoulders with the word "MJ" & a pair of wings
Payne said he was concerned about MJ missing rehearsals. He didn't know why he wasn't showing up, but MJ was also working on an album and a book
Payne said he did not think that Jackson had a problem abusing prescription medications. He acknowledged that Jackson missed rehearsals and he saw the singer shivering or appearing cold in some of his final rehearsals
He worked with Jackson beginning in the 1990's and testified that he never saw Jackson drink alcohol or take any medications. Michael also never discussed his medical treatments, Payne said
Payne told the jury he advised MJ he was looking thin.

"Michael said he was 'getting down to my fighting weight', which I took to mean that he was preparing for the performances", Payne testified. "I had no reason to doubt him"

Payne says he was satisfied with the response.
Payne said there was one day (6/19) when MJ was cold. He thought the frustration had him on edge. When Jackson needed to be layered in blankets and required a heater to be comfortable, Payne said, he believed Michael was merely fighting a cold.

"No one else was cold. He had flu-like symptoms"
"Sometimes he was tired and lethargic and had to be, not convinced, but supported throughout rehearsals," Payne recalled

Payne said that in April, May & June, MJ missed 5 rehearsals with the whole group. He said one time Ortega sent Michael home
Bina shows an email from Ortega to Gongaware on Jun 14:

"Were you aware that Michael's doctor didn't permit him to attend rehearsal yesterday? Without invading his privacy, it might be a good idea to talk to his doctor to make sure everything he requires is in place. Who is responsible for Michael getting proper nourishment/vitamins/therapy every day? Personally, I feel he should have a top Nutritionist and Physical Therapist working with him on a regular basis. The demand on this guy is mentally and physically extraordinary! The show requirements exhaust our 20 year olds. Please don't underestimate the need to stay on top of this"

Another part of the same email chain, from Gongaware:

"Frank and I have discussed it already and have requested a face-to-face meeting w/ the doctor... We want to remind him that it's AEG not Michael Jackson who's paying his salary We want him to understand what is expected of him. He has been dodging Frank so far

Payne said his understanding was that AEG was paying Dr. Murray's salary not Michael. The doctor was there to oversee many things, Payne said. Payne explained he didn't have much reason to question Dr. Murray since he thought that a doctor selected to work with Michael was top notch.
Bina asked Payne whether he ever met Conrad Murray. The choreographer says he met Murray twice. Payne says the first time he met Dr. Murray was at the Carolwood house.

"I was going up the steps, Dr. Murray going downstairs, Michael introduced us."

Payne was coming up from the basement to the middle floor. Studio was at the basement. Payne said he never went to the top floor of the house. He says the second time was at the Staples Center, after a rehearsal and Jackson was leaving for the day. Both meetings were brief.
When asked how Michael performed on June 23 & 24:

"He was having his process, I didn't expect him to be like he would in front of a crowd," Payne explained. "He was not at show standards ... I didn't expect him to be as he would be in front of a crowd."
Payne: "It ebbed and flowed. Some days were good, some days were not as good."

The last two days were good.

"I thought he was in his way to the goals he set himself," Payne told the jury.

He didn't have any question that MJ would be able to perform , adding that he and others were impressed while watching Jackson rehearse at Staples Center on June 23/24, 2009.
Payne described the day MJ died: He was headed to rehearsal at Michael's home, got a call from his mother who said she saw reports on the news. Payne heard news on the radio, called Staples Center spoke to Stacy Walker, she said they were rehearsing. He was told to go to Staples.

"We were optimistic of his arrival," Payne said explaining they were expecting Michael to rehearse at the Staples Center.

Payne said Ortega got a series of calls. He remembers Kenny saying:

'tell me something that will make me know it's you and that this is true'

​

" I remember him (Kenny Ortega) collapsing in his seat and crying," Payne testified

Payne said he never saw Michael drink alcohol or take medication but

"Sometimes, in rehearsal, Michael would appear just a little loopy, under the influence of something, but mostly when he would come to the rehearsals from the dermatologist," Payne testified.

That happened two to four times in the weeks before his death, he said. Payne told that he didn't think Jackson had a problem with prescription drugs

"Michael was undergoing personal cosmetic procedures, so he could feel great and do a good job," Payne said.

Payne also said he appeared groggy in the morning sometimes, which he attributed to lack of sleep

"Mr. Jackson just explained to me that he had trouble sleeping, that he was tired, and that satisfied me," Payne testified.

He stated that he's not sure how much weight MJ had lost
Payne mentioned one day in particular at a meeting with Andre Crouch and singers, MJ seemed a little out of it
Payne said at one point, he & others tried to bring in a top physical therapist who works with Olympic athletes to help Michael. Jackson didn't work w/physical therapist flown in for him.

"At the last minute we realized that Michael was not going to go through with it. He was just not comfortable with the invasion of personal space."

Bina played a clip of This Is It from Jun 4 showing the green screen and making of "Drill" and Michael talking about the cool moves, dancing. Payne said the idea was to show the rehearsals and how things came together. The footage itself wasn't altered, but there was editing. Payne said they picked the best of the rehearsal to include in the documentary. He wanted to reshoot some scenes but was not allowed. Payne, who was an associate producer on the This Is It documentary, said the footage of Jackson had not been retouched or altered.
Jackson cross
Attorney Brian Panish cross examined Payne. He asked if Michael ever performed the entire show from beginning to end. Payne said "No"

"Was he ready to perform for an audience?", Panish asked.
"I thought he was on his way to the goals he had set for himself," Payne answered. "All I saw was improvement and getting closer to the goals"

Payne's impression was that MJ loved being a father. He said he saw the beauty of their relationships, loyalty to one another.

"When we rehearsed, we had meals together," Payne recalled, talking about Michael and all three children.

Payne thought the relationship between MJ and Prince was awesome, Michael was a proud father, great to see how they interacted. Prince wanted to be a director, Michael would point out things to him during rehearsal should that be his career, Payne remembered.
As to Paris Jackson, Payne said he saw a very protective young lady, smart, astute, with knowledge of the production, very hands on. Paris, who was 11 at the time, was

"a very retentive young lady who was very, very smart, very astute," Payne testified. "She had full knowledge of the day-to-day operations, from the time of lunch and what it was going to be, she was hands on -- far beyond her age," he said. "She had a lot of responsibility, which I think she welcomed"

Payne said she was "the female of the house," and also "a daddy's girl."

"She really loved her father," he said. "At that time, she was coming to find out his global successes and presence, so she would wear her Michael Jackson t-shirt, headband and bag," he said.

It was Paris who would bless the food when they were have lunch with their father at home, he said.

"She was always the most vocal of the three children and was very concerned about many of the details of the house, was the temperature correct, what do you want to eat," Payne testified. "She just handled a lot for her young age"

Blanket, who was 7 when his father died, was the most quiet of the three. He liked to watch his father rehearsing his dances with Payne in the basement studio of their home, Payne said.

"He was quiet, but always right there with his dad," he said.

Michael guided and mentored him. Payne said he would be proud if MJ was his father and agreed the children suffered a tremendous loss. When rehearsing with Jackson at his Holmby Hills residence, Payne said the singer clearly delighted in being a father and shared meals with all three

"I saw the beauty of their relationships. I saw their loyalty to their father, I saw his loyalty to them. Their father enlightened them and taught them", he testified. "I was very proud to see Michael as such a loving father."
Panish: "Was Paris a Daddy's girl?"
Payne: "Yes, I believe so"

His description of the close relationship Paris (15) and Prince (16) had with their father four years ago could foreshadow the significance of the children's testimony later in the trial.
Payne always carries a video camera with him and shot videos of rehearsal. AEG took the footage that Payne shot and never returned to him. Email from Randy to Paul:

"Make sure you take out the shots of Michael in that red jacket... He looks way too thin and skeletal."

Payne said he was not aware of the email. He said Michael looked thin, but not skeletal. He doesn't know if Paul/Randy took any the footage out. The email was not displayed for the jury
As for Michael's relationship with Katherine, Payne said

"there's no secret that he loved his mother very much. It is kind of common knowledge"

​

"Karen Faye is a make up artist. She designed the make up, was always there when Michael was there", Payne testified.

Payne said Faye and MJ had a long term working relationship. They spent a lot of personal time together. Faye was concerned and frustrated with how Michael looked. She went to Payne kind of in an aggressive way. Payne told her to report to Ortega.
Payne said he wanted MJ to have a physical therapist, nutritionist, massage therapist, and have his family around. He said this was a different scenario.

"This was the first time MJ was working with AEG," Payne testified, saying he had always been hired by MJJ production before.

Payne said this was the first time Michael was not the sole producer of the show. Payne started working without a signed contract. He was being paid by AEG. Panish showed Payne's written contract. It is between Payne and AEG, beginning April 1, 2009. The contract said only AEG could cancel it. He testified that there was a delay in his contract with AEG because the salary was not in line with his standard charges, but that things worked out after he had a conversation with Jackson. Payne also said he believed AEG was paying Murray's salary, not Jackson
Payne was hired and paid by AEG. His contract was with AEG.

Panish: "Who could fire you. AEG?"
Payne: "I'm sure"

Things became heated when Panish inquired about a text message Karen Faye sent to Payne that accused him of lying to the media after Michael's death. He said earlier Faye had approached him in an "aggressive" way about her concern for Jackson's health but he told her to take her concerns to Ortega.

"I do not remember receiving a text message from Karen Faye asking why I was lying to the media," Payne explained.
Panish: "Were you upset when MJ died?"
Payne: "Yes"

During cross-examination, Payne was shown several photos of premieres for the This Is It documentary .Panish shows a picture of Payne at the red carpet premiere. He agreed he was happy about the premiere. In one, Ortega & AEG executive Randy Phillips flank Jackson's manager, Frank DiLeo, who has a cigar hanging out of his mouth. All three are grinning. Brian Panish, the attorney for Jackson's family, remarked that everyone looked pretty happy
Payne said he wasn't privy to details of what was expected of Dr. Murray. AEG was producepromoter, but MJ was the star, had to be happy
Panish reminded Payne that he had testified in his deposition that AEG was

"trying to protect its investment"

​

"I don't have a dog in this race so I'm not on either side", an aggravated Payne countered adding that he felt Panish was being aggressive. "I'm just saying I don't want to be painted as somebody who's trying to mask anything".

After several hours of testy exchanges with Panish, his voice quivered and he dabbed his eyes with a tissue.

"I'm just trying to have a conversation with you and tell the truth."

Panish asked Payne if defendants' attorney approached him during lunch to show him some documents. He said yes, he saw parts of his deposition
Under cross examination, Payne acknowledged that some of Jackson's behavior, including grogginess, lethargy, insomnia and occasional paranoia, were possible symptoms of prescription drug abuse. He also said that despite testifying earlier that he worked with Jackson one-on-one five days a week, he couldn't recall how many rehearsals the singer actually attended
Panish after lunch break got Travis Payne to concede Jackson wasn't present for a May 19, 2009 rehearsal. Payne also conceded that Jackson was a no-show for a June 22, 2009 rehearsal. Panish confronted Payne saying that yesterday he said he was with MJ at a dance studio on May 19, that they were up on their feet & danced.

Panish: "Sir, Michael was not with you May 19, 2009, was he?"
Payne: "No"
Panish: "He was at the doctor"
Payne: "If you're saying, I'm not disputing"

Panish said that on May 19, Michael was having a cyst removed at Dr. Klein's office, so he could not have been rehearsing with Payne.
Panish then said on Jun 22 MJ wasn't there either, "was he?"
Payne said he didn't know.
Panish said MJ was at another doctor's office
Payne said he may have made a mistake about Jackson's whereabouts & he didn't know his personal schedule. Travis Payne had testified yesterday that he and Jackson ran through certain songs on May 19th. He said today he was testifying based on the schedule and notes he compiled and that his recollection might be wrong

"We're human, sometimes we make mistakes," Payne explained, saying he's not disputing that Michael was or wasn't there on those dates.

Payne said there was always something for Michael to do.

"He needed to come to rehearsal, it was part of the job"

Payne said Michael had a hard time picking up some of the material. He was having trouble learning dances, Payne says. Email from Ortega to Gongaware:

"He has been slow at grabbing hold of the work"

Jackson was having trouble learning dances, choreographer Travis Payne says

"Prior to June, I noticed Mr. Jackson was thinner than I recognized him," Payne said, noting he never saw sudden weight change in MJ.

Second time Payne saw Dr. Murray was the night before Michael died at Staples Center.

"I wanted Michael to go home and go to sleep" Payne recalls. Payne said something about Murray felt off, Payne said. "He didn't feel like an official doctor"

Payne knew MJ had sleeping problems and that Dr. Murray was treating him for that. Ortega also knew; Payne thought Gongaware was aware too. Payne also said he and Ortega knew that Jackson was having sleep problems. Attorney Brian Panish asks if AEG executives knew. There were several objections, and Payne was only allowed to answer "No" as to whether Paul Gongaware knew about Michael's sleep problems
Panish asked Payne about choosing Jackson's dancers for This Is It. Payne says they were whittled down from 5,000 applicants. Applicants submitted video clips and their submissions were used to cull down potential dancers from there. Payne said they received 5,000 applications for dancers, about 2,500 showed up for the audition.He taught them some dance moves, and the pool was further narrowed down. Michael chose the dancers
Panish then asked Payne whether he knew how many doctors AEG interviewed to work with Jackson on This Is It. "No", Payne says. Payne also says he isn't aware how much interviewing or investigation into Murray that AEG did.(Panish's point appears to be that there was more scrutiny of backup dancers than Conrad Murray)
During preparations for This Is It, Michael at times seemed "under the influence of something" and once couldn't take the stage because he appeared incoherent, Payne testified.
Payne said he was aware that Jackson had problems sleeping and chalked up the singer's sometimes erratic behavior to sleep aids or sedatives from his dermatologist visits.

"You have to understand that one always says hindsight is 20/20. In the moment I had no inkling of what, ultimately, what was revealed until Mr. Jackson's passing", he said

Payne saw Michael tired and fatigued. He agreed that those symptoms could be signs of drug addiction. Payne was aware that MJ was losing weight during rehearsals and he had not seeing him lose weight like that before.

"He was not in great physical shape and was sore,working up his stamina. Lack of sleep and proper nourishment were starting to show", Payne said.

Payne says at one point, he told Kenny Ortega that Jackson appeared "assisted" (meaning that he thought he was on drugs\meds)
Payne said some people were concerned about the goals not being met, including Randy Phillips and Paul Gongaware. Payne learned what Demerol was after MJ died. He also remembers a mention of Demerol in the song "Morphine".
Panish asked if MJ knew the lyrics of his songs.

"I think he did, he knew most of them, but he wanted to have a Teleprompter for safety.He didn't want to make any mistakes, to refresh his memory. Also to use for sequence of songs",Payne said.

Payne agreed that it was very unusual for Michael to have a Teleprompter with the lyrics of his own songs. He never used it before. Payne didn't specify which songs Jackson wanted the teleprompter for
Payne said a body double was requested for Michael. Misha Gabriel was his body double, but shorter than him. Some of the scenes in the documentary are with the body double, Payne testified. Payne remembers at the Culver Studios in Smooth Criminal there was a stunt and Misha was asked to jump through a glass plate
Payne said most the time, MJ was present at rehearsals. "It wasn't a big deal," he expressed
Panish showed an email from the band leader Michael Bearden:

"Michael is not in shape enough yet to sing this stuff live and dance at the same time. He can use the ballads to sing live and get his stamina back up, Once he's healthy enough and has more strength I Have full confidence he can sing the majority of the show live. His voice sounds amazing right now, he needs to build it back up. I still need all big dance numbers to be in the system so we can concentrate on choreography."

Payne was aware that AEG was considering in mid June pulling the plug on the show. He said Michael looked exhausted & paranoid on Jun 19. Jackson's condition and missed rehearsals led to talk within the last 10 days of Jackson's life that AEG Live LLC, which was promoting "This Is It," might cancel the concert series.

"It was 'We've got to get this together or the plug may be pulled,'" Payne says

Payne was working for AEG and said he relayed his concerns about Jackson's possible prescription drug use and that he was exhibiting troubling signs of insomnia, weight loss and paranoia in his final days to tour director Kenny Ortega. Jackson was struggling to get into shape for the shows, and Payne said his voice coach suggested using a voice track for fast-paced songs until the singer's stamina improved.
Payne went to Michael's house on June 20. He was cold and had to light the fireplace and rub his hand and feet to warm himself up
Panish showed a picture of Michael on June 24 rehearsing "Thriller"; Payne said MJ improved but was not at his best yet.

Panish: "Around June 20, was Ortega in the mindset that Michael Jackson was not ready for this?" Payne: "Yes"

Payne said Michael was not ready, it was not the Michael he knew. He died four days later. But he didn't see anything that alarmed him on June 23/24

Panish:" Did you see that Michael was getting pressured to get everything done in the last days?" Payne: "Yes"

Payne said he could sense something was wrong, but didn't know what it was. He said Jackson's performances in the final days of his life were impressive, and it felt

"like we were definitely on an upswing"

​

"I never doubted Michael because he was the architect of this and he wanted to do it, so part of my responsibility was to help him get there", Payne said, his voice racked with emotion.

Panish ended his direct examination of choreographer Travis Payne with three questions.

Panish: "Did you see that Michael Jackson appeared to be pressured to get everything done at the Staples last rehearsals?"
"Yes," Payne said
Panish: "The pressure about the shows started to manifest itself physically in Michael Jackson?"
"Yes," Payne replied.
Panish:" You could sense that something was wrong, you just didn't know what it was?"
Payne responded "Yes."

AEG re-direct
Payne's demeanor changed after Panish finished questioning him. He was holding back tears when the AEG attorney started re-direct examination. For the next several moments, Payne blinked and dabbed both eyes with a tissue. It was the first time he'd gotten emotional on the stand.

Bina in re-direct asked: "Do you think you could get him there?"
Payne: "Absolutely!"

Bina asked Payne again about how many rehearsals Jackson attended. Payne said MJ was present a significant amount of the days he was scheduled to work but he couldn't recall dates, precisely how many that Jackson attended.
As to Gongaware's email regarding what was expected of Dr. Murray, Payne said the inconsistencies with Michael missing rehearsals warrant a talk. Payne said he thought Dr. Murray was there to care for his patient, making sure right nutritionist was there, to get him ready for the show. Payne never discussed with MJ about his doctors or personal affairs. Payne and Faye were professionals with each other, but not friends.

"Production felt he wasn't coming to rehearsals enough, and that was frustrating to some of the staff," Payne testified. "I had a concern we needed to create a show Michael would enjoy doing it," Payne explained

She also showed Payne photos from the This Is It premiere. First photo is of Payne shaking Jermaine Jackson's hand at the movie premiere. Bina also showed another image of smiling Jermaine, Tito, Jackie and Marlon with Payne at the premiere. Payne cried saying he had been through so much and the rough part was behind them. He was pleased to show the fans what the show was to be.
Jackson re-cross
In re-cross, Panish notes that none of Michael's brothers are part of this lawsuit.
Panish then asked Payne whether Katherine Jackson and Michael's kids went to the premiere. Panish says Katherine Jackson & her grandchildren didn't go to the premiere because they weren't over Jackson's death. Payne said he didn't think anyone was over Jackson's death when the film premiered in late 2009.
Court Transcript

To preface this post, I want to give the disclaimer that like many things, there is not a black and white answer the question. I'm writing this as an experienced tech professional, and the information provided is based on opinion.
To start with. A little bit of history..
The golden age of software engineering(and similar jobs) is over. At least for the next 5 - 10 years. I don't think this is an unpopular opinion. The reason why between the years of 2010 - 2022, these jobs exploded, was because of the boom of the internet for commercial and personal use.
This is different from the dotcom boom of 2000s, where the internet was just starting and most of the products being created were for basic things like: putting banking on the internet, putting videos on the internet, etc.
The boom in the 2010s was related to the widespread popularity of commercial and personal products. Things like Uber, Spotify, and Salesforce. With the sudden increased usage of the digital world, there were MILLIONS of companies rushing to create digital products.
However, we're starting to see the rise and fall of some of these products, millions of startups failings, and less VC funding. In case you don't know, VC stands for Venture Capital, which are basically investment companies that give money to other companies to help them grow and develop, in return for partial ownership of the company.
As the industry began to mature, successful companies started to emerge, and many more started to fail.
The present day..
Software engineering and like jobs will continue to be important, and there will be a high demands for these engineers. Nearly every company will still need a website, a place to manage their data, and people to manage their hardware. BUT.. the basic technologies they need to run their company will become more efficient. AND there will be less research and innovation because the a lot of the trial and error already occurred.
We're in a weird spot where the demand for workers is now decreasing from it's recent peaks, and the supply of workers is now increasing because of how all the benefits of being a software engineer in the past decade.
This has really unfortunate consequences for any recent graduates or others trying to break into the tech field. There are WAY more beginning career people than jobs available. Which is made even worse with the amount of layoffs there are, where mid-level employees are now having to settle for entry level jobs.
What can we do?
I have two pieces of advice for people interested in the topic, or wanting to break into the field but can't. Try breaking in from a adjacent field, where you can get some exposure to tech. Things that data entry, analytics(this can be finance, supply chain etc). Then try to learn as much as you can from the tech people at your company.
The second piece of advice. Go into a different field. Software engineering is not for everyone. You have to learn and understand some relatively complex topics, and it's becoming harder and harder to be competitive in the industry. Healthcare, supply chain, and many other industries are booming right now.
Understanding history, you can see that certain industries will rise and fall. For the near future, technology might be one of the harder careers to break into. Something like healthcare would be that's expected to grow exponentially. The average population of the world is getting older, as less and less people are wanting to have kids. There will be higher demand for healthcare professionals and healthcare technology.
Do your best to review and understand these trends, and hopefully you can create a good life and career. Best of luck!

Hi, David here!
Everyone has flaws and imperfections, either physically or personality wise.
Don’t get hung up on things about yourself which may be unalterable.
Don’t always be trying to overtly hide such flaws. The insecurity shown when trying to hide a fault often comes off as being way less attractive than the actual fault itself.
Obsessively trying to hide a fault highlights a person’s insecurity and shows low self-confidence.
In the cases where the fault could potentially have an impact on your performance, it’s often much more effective to directly address the issue upfront, and call out the elephant in the room as it were.
But for the scenarios where the fault is inconsequential, you could choose to address it instead in a more nonchalant manner. If the fault does not matter to you, why should it matter to other people?
You can joke about your flaws, but do not do so in a self-deprecating kind of way. If you joke about yourself in a self-deprecating kind of way, then you are probably hoping that people will laugh with you instead of just at you. And while perhaps funny, this does not make you look attractive.
However, being able to openly joke about yourself in such a way that you are not simply searching for approval from others, shows that you are truly comfortable with who you are.
You can also re-frame a fault as a positive.
Being overly defensive or qualifying oneself let’s someone know that they have successfully accomplished getting under your skin, which may have been their very intention. Completely ignoring such remarks or either responding nonchalantly or with a joke is often a much better response.
There are actually many benefits to having flaws:
When you accept a flaw and remain confident despite it, more attraction and/or respect can be generated than if you lacked the so called flaw altogether.
Especially if the flaw is physical. Internal confidence is a way more attractive than some external superficial flaw.
If the flaw is blatantly obvious, and yet you conduct yourself as if it has no drastic effect on your self-worth, it shows great self-confidence.
Similarly, if others try to actively attack you over a flaw, but you remain nonreactive, confident and well-grounded despite their provocations, you can come off looking even better than before.
Faults can also allow other people to find you more accessible and relatable. People can’t identify and connect well with others who appear perfect.
And finally, learning to overcome certain shortcoming in life is what allows you to build resourcefulness, character and work ethic.

This week, we're celebrating International Coaching Week, and I thought it'd be the perfect occasion to delve deep into what exactly happens in a coaching session. Many see coaching as a simple conversation, but it's so much more—it's a transformative journey tailored to empower you, whether in your personal life or professional career. Today, I want to unpack the "anatomy" of a coaching session and explore how it can catalyze profound change. #CoachingWeek2024 #PersonalGrowth

1. The Structure of a Session

Every coaching session has its unique flow, yet they all follow a certain structure to ensure maximum impact. Here’s a typical breakdown:
Establishing a Coaching Agreement: This is where we set the stage, aligning on expectations and confidentiality. It's the foundation of trust and openness. Setting the Agenda: Unlike a casual chat, every session has a purpose, defined by you. What's the main issue you want to tackle? This gives us direction. Exploring Options: Through powerful questioning and active listening, we dive deep into the heart of the matter, uncovering possibilities and new perspectives. Committing to Action: The session culminates in defining actionable steps that align with your goals, ensuring that insight translates into real-world progress. 2. Techniques That Drive Transformation
Powerful Questioning: It’s about asking the right questions, not giving advice. These questions provoke thought, challenge assumptions, and uncover underlying beliefs. Active Listening: This is where the coach listens not just to the words but to the emotions, the unsaid, creating a space where you feel truly heard and understood. 3. Outcomes You Can Expect
Clarified Goals: It’s common to start with a vague idea of what you want. Coaching helps crystallize those thoughts into clear, attainable goals. Actionable Insights: Beyond insights, you get a concrete plan of action, steps you can take to move forward towards your goals. Enhanced Self-Awareness: Often, you’ll discover things about yourself you weren’t conscious of before, opening up new paths of personal and professional growth. Why Share This?
I'm passionate about the transformative power of coaching and believe in sharing knowledge and experiences to help others grow. Whether you're curious about coaching, considering becoming a coach, or looking for ways to enhance your personal development journey, I hope this insight into coaching sessions helps illuminate the path.
Let's Engage
Have you ever experienced a coaching session that led to a significant breakthrough? Or perhaps you have questions about the process? I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and queries. Let’s start a conversation that helps us all grow and learn.
A Bit About Me
As a dedicated coach, I'm here to support and challenge you in your journey toward being your best self. If you're interested in how coaching can help you achieve your goals, feel free to reach out.
Looking forward to our journey together on this subreddit. Let's create a space for growth, learning, and transformation.

It's a little hyperbolic to say I have no one to talk to, but my supportive social resources are limited. I have amazing best friends. Both have husbands & children and work pretty "normal" adult schedules. I can talk to one of them about once a month and the other a few good times a year. I talk to an EAP counselor once a month to help me digest everything I process on my own time. I have Taylor Swift, lol. I tried talking to my mom, but found that I leave those interactions feeling worse than before.
In the span of 5 months, I've gotten a new job, got divorced, bought a new house, and realized that being single in my new job means my free time is limited and I am lonely.
My dad has told me in the past how much he "fucking hates it" when I cry. So I don't talk to him. My stepmom is a hateful, racist, chain smoking woman. I'll not be talking to her.
I tried opening up to my mom from the start because we're so similar. From the time I announced the divorce to her, any time I try to tell her how I'm feeling/what I'm working through, she tells me how bad her own life is.
Just one example, I tried to tell her that I'm gone from home 12 hours a day some days, often without having a real conversation with a person. Then I come home alone with more work to do with my house, like painting the walls so I can hang my pictures and get them off the floor. She told me how she's never in her life painted her walls and that some days she doesn't have any time to herself until after 10pm when she's ready for bed. Like.... okay? I guess I'm a spoiled brat for not wanting to live with a color I didn't like all around me. I'd love to have someone else to give my time to, mom. That's what I'm trying to tell you, and you're not listening.
My cousin told me I could open up to her, then left me on read when I did.
The only person I can talk to for the support I need right now is my ex-husband. He knows how awful my family is, and he tries his best to understand when I need to talk to someone. But I can't make this man keep listening to me and being there for me. It's not fair to either of us.
I want so badly to have someone close to me in my life that I can be soft with and they'll just tell me that it sucks, but it's going to be okay. I'm tired from everything in life, I don't have the energy to self-soothe all the time.
Anyway, this just seemed like the right place to air my frustrations into the wind. A journal entry doesn't seem like enough lately, and I don't meet with the counselor until next week.

So I got my free month of FSD and I have some stuff to say about it.
I'm an upper-middle-class, middle aged dude with a 5 year old model 3 that I love, but at this point in my life I detest driving. I live in a place that has some nasty traffic and a 20 mile drive routinely takes me 75-90 minutes. I should be the easiest person on the planet to sell this to. I didn't go into it with much of an expectation, and I didn't even know it was happening until about a week into the trial period.
I took it for a couple of residential neighborhood jaunts, a couple commutes, and even a longer road trip. (150 miles) I kept it on "chill" for almost all of it. Here's my observations.

• The system is pretty darned impressive. It's not what I would call a "great" driver, but it's an "ok" driver. Kinda like a teenager that just got their license and is still learning the finer points of control. It's got a bit of a heavy foot, but not awful.
• The system can handle 95% of the situations that it found itself in flawlessly.
• The visualization is much-improved, and you get a much better sense of what the car can see.
• It didn't like the sticker that I have over the cabin camera. I took it off for the trial.
• In heavy traffic (my life) it's decent enough, but it REALLY loves to change lanes...like...all the time. Can't be in the left lane because that's the passing lane and it can't be in the right because that's moving too slow (all the lanes are) and so it always gravitates to the center, but then is constantly trying to change. It waits WAY too long to change lanes to take an exit, especially for left exits.
• It's also got a very serious visibility problem. I suppose it's the B-pillar cameras that look to the sides, but I have a turn near me that is super-fucking dangerous because the visibility is shit and assholes routinely drive 60 in a 35 around a blind corner. To do it manually I have to move WAY close up to the cross-road to see anything, but the Tesla kept me back at the stop sign where it couldn't see a damned thing. It really needs that side camera to be right up near the front bumper.
• Likewise a serious problem is entering a fast road with no merge area, and there's a number of them around here. It was perpetually trying to accelerate to merge, completely ignorant of the cars already on the road going much faster, I suspect because it couldn't see them. This felt dangerous as hell.
• The most important observation that I have is that you have to keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road. For me, that means it's saving me...a little bit of lateral movement of my wrist, and that's it. I got it, this is developmental and it's supposed to get hands free "some day" but at the moment this doesn't really solve a problem for me. It was offered as an option for my car when I bought it 5 years ago...and it's still not there.
• When I finished I asked myself the question "should I pay for this?" At the moment, it's a no. I think it's $2000 to upgrade, or $99/mo, and that's an absurd price for the limited value that it provides.

I’m 21m and a week away from my 22nd birthday, but just a few days away from my undergraduate graduation. I earned a degree in communications (seems to be useless). I just joined Reddit and I see people bring their personal situations here and get a bunch of advice so I’m looking for the same.
I lost my dad when I was 4 and my mom when I was 16, so guidance is minimal. I’ve managed to get by decently. Played division one football and earning my degree, but now so lost on what’s next and what matters to me. I currently work as a server at a restaurant. My overhead is low because I live with a mom’s ex-boyfriend who generously lets me stay there rent free. Probably around 1000 a month in expensive and make about 3500 a month as a server.
Obviously I want to have some financial security, maybe family, not sure about much else. I’m trying to channel all of my experience and answer the tough questions like what do I want to do for the rest of my life and who I want to be. Any advice for self discovery? Any response is appreciated.

So I’ve been dating this girl for a few months now. We’ve known each other for several years but in december things just kinda clicked and we started dating and making things serious.
For context: We got to know each other before my transition so she obviously knows what’s going on. Regarding this topic, I’m more concerned than she is. She never made a big deal about it, occasionally asks questions out of curiosity but she always makes sure she doesn’t hurt me with her words. All in all it’s by far the healthiest relationship I’ve ever been in.
Regarding sex, she’s also eager to learn about me and how she can make me have a good time. In my previous relationship of four years, I’ve always been the “giver” and never really got touched which I was fine with. With my gf being eager to please me, I’ve experienced orgasms by the touch of another person for the first time.
We had a talk a few days ago about me being worried that I won’t be able to please her the same as her exes. At least not till my phalloplasty next year. She told me that she really doesn’t care if I have a dick or not and that she’s having a good time but is worried that she can “only” do one thing for me to please me and that it bugs her that she can’t do more or doesn’t know more about those things.
I tried to explain to her that I would love her to do more things but my head just can’t handle it. I sometimes forget that I don’t have the right parts yet and then reality snaps back in.
Do you guys have tips on how to explain my bottom-dysphoria to her in words that she could easily understand and reassure her that she pleases me and that I’m really looking forward to when I’m done with surgeries?
