Yeah. And then they're they're they're just like these little bits of philosophy or advice that pop into my head, at least when I'm stressed or uncertain, or just need to have Some kind of comforting thought almost. Yeah, yeah. You know, for for me, I get like little lines like Mark Twain's comment that the lack of money is the root of all evil.
