00:00I'll be at primary school just bugging out thinking it was ants on me.
00:02I was like, oh, it's just like that, like, just hitting myself.
00:16I was afraid of the dark.
00:18Typical one, you know, nothing really, nothing too much more engaging beyond that.
00:22But yeah, I was just afraid of the dark.
00:23I hated going to bed.
00:25I hated, you know, it's time to go to sleep and you got to turn the lights off.
00:28I don't know. I just it just really annoyed me and spooked me.
00:32I was afraid of ants because one time I was in my in my room
00:37and I was trying to get some clothes and I had an ant nest in my cupboard.
00:40Oh, it's a whole ant nest.
00:42And so then I'll be at primary school just bugging out thinking it was ants on me.
00:46I was like, oh, it's just like that, like, just hitting myself.
00:49So that's what I was scared of at five.
00:54At 15, I think I was afraid of like, oh, my gosh,
00:58are they talking about how my back?
01:00Like I was like afraid of like normal teenager stuff.
01:02Like, oh, my gosh, can I trust my friends?
01:04Like, is she going to, you know, backstab me?
01:06Like, you know, I was kind of scared.
01:09I was a bit outside.
01:10So there was things I was like, oh, yeah, there's a lot of fear here.
01:15I mean, it's like when you're outside as a young black man.
01:18What was I scared of?
01:19I wasn't really scared of much at 15.
01:21I was fearless at 15, though.
01:22I can't lie to you.
01:23I was I was kind of fearless.
01:28Twenty five, I think, is when I began being like
01:32not really afraid of anything, you know what I'm saying?
01:35Except for two scrumptious of a dessert.
01:40But other than that, I was probably just like
01:45I think the scariest thing at that age was like not evolving,
01:48not growing, not getting further.
01:50I was scared of being broke.
01:51I think I was scared of being broke.
01:52And so I kind of was just like working, working, working, working, working, working.
01:57My ass off in order to kind of like make sure that I was financially stable
02:01and my family's financially stable.
02:02That's what I was doing. Yeah.
02:08I'm not really afraid of too much.
02:10I think I'm just afraid of not being happy, not doing what's best for me.
02:13It's everything is more internal.
02:15Just want to make sure I'm having my own back.
02:18You know, I'm making conscious decisions and, you know,
02:21staying engaged with life and so much that happens in life
02:24where you could just say, man, I quit.
02:26So I'm just always wanting to make sure that I'm, you know, grounded.
02:31I think now I probably feel like not being real about my fears.
02:34And that makes sense.
02:35Like it's kind of like because then that's the way you attract them.
02:38You know what I mean?
02:38And they come and eat you alive and stuff.
02:40So don't deny it.
02:41Do you know what I'm saying?
02:42Go, yeah, that's good. I'm scared of that. All right, cool.
02:44And then you can actually face it and do something about it.
02:46I mean, so I think that's what right now it's like I'm kind of moving through.
02:54The promotion schedule.
02:57Um, no, nothing really was scary to me.
02:59You do. I was nervous about how I was playing OJ.
03:03I thought I was I was I had a fear of that kind of like how still
03:07and like quiet he was and if that would translate
03:11in the storytelling, you know, and then and I still committed to it.
03:15But I was just like, oh, this is a bit of a gamble.
03:18And then sometimes I do that because it's a challenge.
03:20But I think I was I had fear about that.
03:26And I was like, oh, this is a bit of a gamble.
03:28And then sometimes I do that because it's a challenge.
