00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:00.923
Did you know?
00:00:00.923 --> 00:00:07.309
Your brain is addicted to its own chemicals, and that might be why you keep choosing the wrong people.
00:00:07.309 --> 00:00:20.353
This week, I'm sitting down with the survivor of trauma, addiction and betrayal, who broke her generational patterns by learning how her biochemistry was controlling her behavior.
00:00:20.353 --> 00:00:26.167
If you've ever wondered am I thinking correctly, you'll need to hear this.
00:00:26.167 --> 00:00:43.512
Why do all of our stories seem to begin at heartbreak?
00:00:43.512 --> 00:00:58.582
My guest this week is here to hand you a mirror, to dare you to look deeper and to listen to the voice within, as we discuss how the unconscious patterns, trauma and biochemistry shape your life.
00:00:58.582 --> 00:01:03.405
This is a path that's either going to enslave you or set you free.
00:01:03.405 --> 00:01:11.370
What if the darkest chapters of your life could become someone else's survival guide?
00:01:12.212 --> 00:01:22.138
I'm Tiffany, survivor storyteller and host of True Crime Connections, where we turn pain into power and stories into sparks of hope.
00:01:22.138 --> 00:01:29.567
Every week, I sit down with someone who's lived through the unimaginable and found the strength to speak out.
00:01:29.567 --> 00:01:38.612
If you've ever questioned your worth, your reality or your past, you are not alone here, and today's guest proves it.
00:01:38.612 --> 00:01:42.887
So I'd like to welcome Yasmina Sabi.
00:01:42.887 --> 00:01:45.272
Thank you so much for being here.
00:01:45.540 --> 00:01:47.046
Thank you so much for all that content.
00:01:47.046 --> 00:01:53.271
Like I really appreciate that, like it definitely lets people know, like this is where we're going and you get promoted.
00:01:53.992 --> 00:01:54.713
Absolutely.
00:01:54.713 --> 00:01:55.864
This is what you're going to get.
00:01:55.864 --> 00:01:56.307
What?
00:01:56.307 --> 00:02:01.629
So you've been on one hell of a personal journey.
00:02:03.382 --> 00:02:06.325
I understand those words now Personal journey.
00:02:06.325 --> 00:02:07.394
I understand those words now, personal journey.
00:02:07.394 --> 00:02:07.959
I get it now.
00:02:07.959 --> 00:02:11.348
I thought I was just moving through life.
00:02:11.348 --> 00:02:13.145
I thought we were all doing the same thing.
00:02:13.145 --> 00:02:14.149
Are you still a degree?
00:02:16.420 --> 00:02:18.449
No, we are on different playing fields.
00:02:20.712 --> 00:02:22.651
I see, I see that.
00:02:22.651 --> 00:02:23.743
I see that.
00:02:23.743 --> 00:02:33.790
Yes, I think the fact that you say biochemistry like I don't hold a degree, so I've definitely had people come to me like why are we talking about this subject?
00:02:33.790 --> 00:02:40.151
Like what's going on here I will say I finally experienced what humans experience, which is heartbreak.
00:02:40.151 --> 00:02:54.954
It's all different types of way, but I guess the biggest heartbreak is you feel through trusted partner, trusted family member, just trust people because you feel like they have morals, or it's just the right thing to do, or you know it's just I don't know.
00:02:54.954 --> 00:02:58.705
And I hadn't experienced that because I was avoiding a relationship.
00:02:59.407 --> 00:03:05.088
I just remember growing up my life oh my God, it was so hectic, so close, so confused me.
00:03:05.088 --> 00:03:08.707
I wouldn't have worded it like that a few years ago, but yeah it was.
00:03:08.707 --> 00:03:16.431
And I just always remember when my mother was in relationships I didn't even understand the point of them, because we never have enough money.
00:03:16.431 --> 00:03:19.204
Well, I was always thinking why are they cute Like that?
00:03:19.204 --> 00:03:20.125
That was my thought.
00:03:20.164 --> 00:03:23.610
I don't even know why I was thinking like that as a kid, but why?
00:03:23.610 --> 00:03:31.848
Because my mom always talked about like oh my God, I need help paying my rent, like we need to do this, and I feel like that is every single human being is.
00:03:31.848 --> 00:03:33.752
I need to watch what I say and what I do.
00:03:33.752 --> 00:03:37.121
I need help paying this rent and I don't know why.
00:03:37.121 --> 00:03:56.838
But something kicked into me where I just felt like I didn't think it was worse, whatever she was putting up, and it felt like by the time she did figure it out, it was like three or four years later and it was just like and then it happened again and that is what made me not want to be in a relationship then, because I didn't know what was happening, why she was normalizing it.
00:03:56.838 --> 00:04:00.586
I didn't know what was normal, I just knew it doesn't feel safe.
00:04:00.586 --> 00:04:01.629
So I don't get why we're here.
00:04:12.379 --> 00:04:15.748
And I just kept hearing because we need the money to help get rent and haunted me.
00:04:15.748 --> 00:04:16.271
I guess it haunted me.
00:04:16.271 --> 00:04:18.656
I can see how that could happen, because now you're like associating love or whatever, but with monetary.
00:04:18.656 --> 00:04:19.579
You know what I mean like to you.
00:04:20.581 --> 00:04:23.889
That's what it yeah, it was it.
00:04:23.889 --> 00:04:24.531
It was confusing.
00:04:24.531 --> 00:04:25.653
My grandparents were together.
00:04:25.653 --> 00:04:26.923
You know, my grandpa had a ranch.
00:04:26.923 --> 00:04:27.908
It was almost an acre.
00:04:27.908 --> 00:04:29.403
They had horses or whatever.
00:04:29.403 --> 00:04:30.286
They didn't look happy.
00:04:30.286 --> 00:04:38.146
So it was just this partnership just looks dangerous, because grandma and grandpa have this house and have all these horses and stuff, but they don't sleep in the same room.
00:04:38.146 --> 00:04:40.185
Mom, I don't know what's going on with you.
00:04:40.185 --> 00:04:42.966
I just didn't see anything that looked healthy.
00:04:43.867 --> 00:04:48.107
And I remember when I was in high school oh my god, I fell in love with this guy.
00:04:48.107 --> 00:04:51.036
He didn't do nothing special, nothing.
00:04:51.036 --> 00:04:51.699
He wasn't in my void.
00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:56.612
I was one of those people like never being kissed, it was like that, in the background.
00:04:56.612 --> 00:05:00.163
I mean, I hung around the kids, but it was like I wasn't.
00:05:00.163 --> 00:05:02.267
I didn't, I don't know what I didn't have.
00:05:02.267 --> 00:05:04.971
I didn't have somebody's faithful sweetheart.
00:05:07.660 --> 00:05:11.064
And I remember it was the neighborhoods that I grew up in.
00:05:11.064 --> 00:05:25.228
I hate to say neighborhoods, maybe this is just every environment, but they weren't nice, they were bullies and you felt like you had to save face and, especially if you're with a popular crowd, you just were always trying to keep your composure, I guess.
00:05:25.228 --> 00:05:34.288
And I remember when I was like man, I was 16 or 17 and I met this older man and he looked like he was 40-something.
00:05:34.288 --> 00:05:36.706
I didn't know him, I thought he was 27.
00:05:36.706 --> 00:05:40.846
Like that makes it different, obviously, if somebody hears that today.
00:05:40.846 --> 00:05:52.370
But I just remember I was like, oh, when he was guess, helping me, like I didn't have to steal from stories to get hair or food or just things like that.
00:05:52.370 --> 00:06:00.721
Because, like I said, I just feel like the way we grew up, my grandma, grandpa, helped so much but I, I don't know, I didn't know what it was, why.
00:06:00.721 --> 00:06:11.394
I just felt like it was never enough help to them, you know, and they'd unfortunately have an environment where I feel like we were most susceptible to what goes on out there.
00:06:11.394 --> 00:06:16.411
If you're not watching you and if you're worried about paying bills, don't do on this.
00:06:16.411 --> 00:06:19.646
And so we lived in, I guess, like a gang affiliated neighborhood.
00:06:19.646 --> 00:06:27.209
I hate to say gang because, honestly, where I'm from, if la for just all that again, I would say that was not a gay and I was like, well, it definitely wasn't nice.
00:06:27.209 --> 00:06:30.053
Whatever it was, it wasn't nice.
00:06:30.053 --> 00:06:33.901
I didn't want to be there.
00:06:33.901 --> 00:06:42.803
Looked like damn movies, maybe I can say just property, I guess but it was very chaotic and whatnot, and so I did steal but it was funny because I didn't hear.
00:06:42.884 --> 00:06:49.005
But my mom, unconsciously to her, was always like you're in charge because you got the biggest part.
00:06:49.005 --> 00:06:56.069
Everyone listening is Selena, and I didn't realize I recently heard that was probably one of the ancestors and I was like who the hell is doing that to me?
00:06:56.069 --> 00:06:59.089
You know you don't believe, like, oh, you can help me out.
00:06:59.089 --> 00:07:00.069
Thank you so much.
00:07:00.069 --> 00:07:05.411
And I don't know if just the single moms, they just get comforted by it.
00:07:05.411 --> 00:07:07.632
My mom didn't have a boyfriend.
00:07:07.632 --> 00:07:10.593
That's why I never understood the point of relationships.
00:07:10.593 --> 00:07:12.814
If you need my help, why is he here?
00:07:12.814 --> 00:07:19.817
And I think that's what a lot of kids are trying to tell their parents you still need my damn help, why be here?
00:07:19.817 --> 00:07:21.177
You still need my help.
00:07:21.177 --> 00:07:23.418
So I feel like it was like that.
00:07:23.418 --> 00:07:27.783
But yeah, I definitely felt like I didn't have to rob.
00:07:27.783 --> 00:07:30.228
It felt nice, it was just so.
00:07:30.228 --> 00:07:31.971
That had a huge impact.
00:07:31.971 --> 00:07:40.583
Obviously people would know today I don't know if they do so much back then of me dating older men because I felt like I wasn't being embarrassed.
00:07:40.583 --> 00:07:43.995
People weren't going around saying oh, she did this or did that, making up lies.
00:07:43.995 --> 00:07:52.170
It was private to me, it was helpful to me and that that's what I saw, that I didn't have to deal with that bullying or humiliating feeling that I felt in high school.
00:07:53.673 --> 00:07:57.906
The money I guess I don't feel like it was really the money If I didn't think you did nothing.
00:07:57.906 --> 00:08:06.281
I guess super lavish it was just more so.
00:08:06.281 --> 00:08:08.947
The fact that he cared is what I was saying was saying like, don't go and steal that.
00:08:08.947 --> 00:08:09.870
I want more details about that in my book.
00:08:09.870 --> 00:08:13.180
But when I think about Mulder and I had my son and I remember I was it's a story to that.
00:08:13.180 --> 00:08:18.190
If I go into every detail of everything, this will take two hours but it's in my book.
00:08:18.190 --> 00:08:24.492
But overall I remember I found myself in a situation I was like, oh my god, how do I provide for him sell us my job?
00:08:25.312 --> 00:08:27.423
I took a title loan out of my car in the inch.
00:08:27.423 --> 00:08:29.146
I took out $200 title loan.
00:08:29.146 --> 00:08:31.151
The interest was $500 a month.
00:08:31.151 --> 00:08:33.462
I did not know that was a bad.
00:08:33.462 --> 00:08:39.572
I did not know that was just the insurance.
00:08:39.572 --> 00:08:40.153
You know.
00:08:40.153 --> 00:08:44.727
You know people aren't mean out here, because why did they let me walk in there, a 19 yearyear-old?
00:08:44.727 --> 00:08:48.784
It would make me feel like I was getting a deal and it was like, hey, whatever, that's what the world is money.
00:08:48.784 --> 00:08:52.466
They didn't care they were making a commission.
00:08:53.461 --> 00:08:54.525
Yeah, I will never forget.
00:08:54.525 --> 00:08:58.932
He walked up and slid a $15 coupon on the table when I was trying to figure out if I should do it or not.
00:08:59.980 --> 00:09:01.302
A $15 coupon.
00:09:02.182 --> 00:09:09.793
I swear I was looking at that coupon like, ooh, it was like $15, maybe 15 max, okay, I don't really remember, but it was a joke.
00:09:09.793 --> 00:09:13.743
I ended up doing it alone because I needed the money to get another apartment.
00:09:13.743 --> 00:09:19.065
And so when I got into my apartment I was thinking, okay, cool, like me and my son are good.
00:09:19.065 --> 00:09:22.788
And then I lost my job because I didn't have a reliable babysitter.
00:09:22.788 --> 00:09:23.690
My family was.
00:09:23.690 --> 00:09:34.352
I think everyone can relate that families don't watch your baby the way they want to watch it and that's why people I guess it's nice but it's kind of like dang, you know they're not going to listen to nothing I'm saying.
00:09:34.352 --> 00:09:36.947
And but I lost my job.
00:09:37.019 --> 00:09:45.769
I was in a jam and I felt this ad we can apply, we asked for it and I was thinking like, yeah, right, they're like, tell me, because I'll be, because they always put no black bros.
00:09:45.769 --> 00:09:52.225
And I remember I met this one lady who's here I did, and she was like man, you make so much money and it is so hard to get out of.
00:09:52.225 --> 00:09:58.010
And that's what was replaying in the back of my mind when I was looking at the site and I was thinking like I need the money out, I'm for this.
00:09:58.010 --> 00:10:02.107
And I replied and sure as shit.
00:10:02.107 --> 00:10:04.993
And the guy was straightforward, like it's extra money.
00:10:04.993 --> 00:10:08.470
And I was like, okay, whatever, I just need some money.
00:10:08.470 --> 00:10:11.159
And so I was making money doing that for a while.
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:17.206
I'd want to the rates and everything like that in my book because people are curious, which makes sense, but it's in my book.
00:10:17.688 --> 00:10:30.730
But overall I had got to a place where I got into therapy and my therapist she helped me realize, like you, your background was so traumatic and I was like that wasn't normal and she's like that's not normal.
00:10:30.730 --> 00:10:33.101
And I was so confused.
00:10:33.101 --> 00:10:35.528
I was like I just didn't understand.
00:10:35.528 --> 00:10:38.861
Like if you got upset with somebody, I thought it was normal to want to keep them.
00:10:38.861 --> 00:10:41.267
I didn't know that wasn't mom.
00:10:41.267 --> 00:10:53.606
And I say I was a little bright, but I'm just thinking back like, but I remember when she helped me realize, like if foul wind might infuse, is that the reason why you're doing it?
00:10:53.606 --> 00:10:56.966
Is the reason why you're in this relationship, is the reason you're drinking.
00:10:56.966 --> 00:11:00.068
And I think I had to write a possible book the Body Keeps Us.
00:11:00.068 --> 00:11:05.121
For, oh my God, I just was like blew my mind.
00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:07.147
It blew my mind.
00:11:07.246 --> 00:11:12.284
It is so crazy how much we don't realize that childhood shapes us.
00:11:12.284 --> 00:11:17.022
In so many homes we do think what we're going through is normal.
00:11:17.022 --> 00:11:22.302
It's not, until either you go to someone else's house and they're like, whoa, what the hell's going on over here?
00:11:22.302 --> 00:11:27.484
Or you grow up and someone's like well, do you want to know why?
00:11:27.484 --> 00:11:28.366
You're fucked up.
00:11:28.366 --> 00:11:29.429
It's Y and Z.
00:11:29.429 --> 00:11:31.568
And you're like, oh shit.
00:11:32.900 --> 00:11:37.184
You're like no, you're not normal, you're not normal, we're not playing at each other.
00:11:37.184 --> 00:11:37.927
What's not normal?
00:11:37.927 --> 00:11:44.793
And then I feel like it gets to the point where man I got to figure out fight, fight, fight or freeze kicks in.
00:11:44.793 --> 00:11:47.015
And it's very, very important.
00:11:47.015 --> 00:11:52.504
And basically, after I had realized that I was in therapy, I had met a Russian friend.
00:11:52.504 --> 00:11:54.410
It was funny, psychology is a big thing.
00:11:54.410 --> 00:11:58.208
She was like hey, I'm going to give you this vitamin, don't drink for a weekend, you're going to be healed.
00:11:58.208 --> 00:12:00.287
And I was like, oh, I'm healed.
00:12:00.287 --> 00:12:07.327
Just the fact she told me that shit was enough, because I had never been.
00:12:07.349 --> 00:12:09.937
I had been sober from alcohol for probably 14 years, and it was just her saying that that helped me.
00:12:09.937 --> 00:12:10.782
So I had stopped drinking.
00:12:10.782 --> 00:12:11.605
I was in therapy.
00:12:11.605 --> 00:12:17.365
I've been going to therapy for like three years and then I was like okay, I'm ready for a husband, you know.
00:12:17.365 --> 00:12:24.730
I was like I got myself cleaned up, I presented for the world and my daughter even told me like, on, your're a regular mom now.
00:12:24.750 --> 00:12:40.928
And I was like, because I was a functional, you know, and so I had met this guy and I provided I was still an escort, because once I guess I knew better I was like I already got my chance to pass on to this life and I knew it would do more damage to.
00:12:40.928 --> 00:12:41.711
Okay, who cares?
00:12:41.711 --> 00:12:45.104
We're starting, friend, you know, fresh one bedroom, who cares?
00:12:45.104 --> 00:12:45.726
We're all gonna.
00:12:45.726 --> 00:12:51.001
I feel like that would have created was I mean, from what I found out so far about childhood be very important to you.
00:12:51.001 --> 00:12:53.868
It really made me like, okay, I can't just switch that environment.
00:12:53.868 --> 00:13:03.729
And so I was like but I need to get myself together before I look for a partner, because when I was in my early 20s I was trying to be in a relationship and it just felt controlling.
00:13:03.729 --> 00:13:09.409
I didn't know why it was happening, I just knew it feels like I can't think, or I gotta move on, I gotta remove myself.
00:13:09.409 --> 00:13:17.889
That's all I knew Because, like I said, I came from a violent background and it was like at some point I'm gonna swing on you, because I thought that was normal.
00:13:17.889 --> 00:13:24.652
And also I did not know it was psychological abuse, it was emotional abuse, financial abuse.
00:13:24.652 --> 00:13:25.293
I didn't know all that.
00:13:25.293 --> 00:13:28.080
All I knew was fill my pockets, pop on me right now and I'm going to hit you.
00:13:28.080 --> 00:13:30.128
That's all I knew.
00:13:30.128 --> 00:13:35.543
And so once I felt like I did learn enough healthy thing healthy on myself.
00:13:35.543 --> 00:13:42.409
I met an older man with me being in that world and he was like, well, I wanted to have an arrangement with you.
00:13:42.409 --> 00:13:49.186
And I was like I always drifted away from that shit because my friend she had a sugar nutty but she almost hated seeing.
00:13:49.186 --> 00:13:51.947
She was like, oh, that guy looks like me in the sky.
00:13:51.947 --> 00:13:57.407
She just looked so fucking miserable and I was just like why do you keep going to see this person?
00:13:57.407 --> 00:14:00.024
Then, like I just didn't understand that and I was like because he helps me.
00:14:00.024 --> 00:14:02.769
And I was like I don't want to play that game.
00:14:02.769 --> 00:14:04.932
And I've had some men say like, yeah, I'm going to take care of you.
00:14:04.932 --> 00:14:06.434
Then I find out they had a fucking wife.
00:14:06.434 --> 00:14:07.503
I'm like fuck.
00:14:07.904 --> 00:14:10.870
Psychological Because, like I said, I always felt like I'm going to hit you.
00:14:10.870 --> 00:14:21.028
So it was really easy for me to not put myself in those situations because if I get too confused I'm going to hit you or I'm going to yell and scream or I don't know.
00:14:21.028 --> 00:14:22.210
I just don't want to feel that.
00:14:22.210 --> 00:14:27.153
You know, there's no amount of money you could pay to make me suppress that emotion.
00:14:27.153 --> 00:14:30.315
I think it was maybe just the spirit.
00:14:30.315 --> 00:14:39.770
I feel like that was telling me things that I didn't know on an educated level, like if you go out here and play this psychological game with this person, you're going to be angrier with your kids.
00:14:39.770 --> 00:14:45.490
Like it was just always some type of consciousness telling me what could happen if I did that.
00:14:46.980 --> 00:14:57.149
Because I always subconsciously studied human behavior and I'll watch shows like Fatal Attraction, because I'm trying to understand, like what led up to that, not just the hey, you shouldn't have did that.
00:14:57.149 --> 00:14:58.884
I'm like why is it happening?
00:14:58.884 --> 00:15:00.530
Is what I'm trying to understand.
00:15:00.530 --> 00:15:04.230
And people have so many different words for why stuff is happening.
00:15:04.230 --> 00:15:07.924
But that's what we're going to get to biochemistry in a minute.
00:15:07.924 --> 00:15:11.982
But so many different words there you're possessed, right.
00:15:11.982 --> 00:15:15.769
You're like what is the problem?
00:15:15.769 --> 00:15:21.989
So many different things, like you're saying why somebody's responding like this, but why are they responding like this?
00:15:22.730 --> 00:15:27.070
So when I had met this man who was like let's have an arrangement, I was like what's that?
00:15:27.070 --> 00:15:32.361
Look, I don't think this is what's work, because I wanted to be honest with him.
00:15:32.361 --> 00:15:33.548
Like look healthy now.
00:15:33.548 --> 00:15:35.052
I used to be a bunch of alcoholics.
00:15:35.052 --> 00:15:41.606
I just always was honest because I felt like it took more energy to live and I didn't have the impulse control.
00:15:41.606 --> 00:15:47.562
So you know, you might catch me at the gym, and I did.
00:15:47.663 --> 00:15:51.567
I can't get impulse control, so I'm not a good liar.
00:15:51.567 --> 00:15:53.870
Some people really are, even.
00:15:53.870 --> 00:15:54.772
I guess that they have.
00:15:54.772 --> 00:16:00.943
No, I think if they start getting mad, you know, like, okay, you're lying Because you're getting super mad, you know.
00:16:00.943 --> 00:16:03.206
So I can't keep that psychological game going.
00:16:03.206 --> 00:16:06.532
But anyhow, I actually genuinely started liking him.
00:16:06.532 --> 00:16:07.894
You know what it was.
00:16:07.894 --> 00:16:08.735
He listened to me.
00:16:08.735 --> 00:16:18.923
I remember we went out to eat and we just listened for like almost three hours and I was like, oh my God, he's really interested in what I was saying and I guess it was an unfamiliar feeling.
00:16:18.923 --> 00:16:23.490
It felt genuine, it was safe yeah, safe, like okay.
00:16:23.490 --> 00:16:27.094
And he was sexy, but I didn't know that.
00:16:27.094 --> 00:16:32.288
I thought he was 40 something because he didn't look well, your ages are just.
00:16:32.349 --> 00:16:42.394
You are bad at telling agents I know when people like look me up, they're like I'm telling you I was completely unconscious.
00:16:42.394 --> 00:16:45.028
I guess I think I was just completely unconscious.
00:16:45.028 --> 00:16:52.845
There's a lot of people out there and that's why I'm trying to bring my story to light, because it is going out.
00:16:52.845 --> 00:16:53.985
People like hold up.
00:16:53.985 --> 00:17:01.804
I mean, granted, I feel like today is so much news Like oh, a six-year-old shouldn't be with a 30-year-old, and so forth, but I don't know.
00:17:01.804 --> 00:17:07.682
No, actually I won't say my fault or my.
00:17:07.702 --> 00:17:08.925
There was that different culture trip.
00:17:08.925 --> 00:17:14.163
My dad was like every day, I claim, you meet a very, very old, he's very rich and he takes care of you and he has no children.
00:17:14.163 --> 00:17:27.762
I was like so I think I thought I pushed it out, but maybe I didn't, maybe it was subconsciously like put in my head so I never looked at it as this was bad, like I didn't look like this guy's age is bad.
00:17:27.762 --> 00:17:29.288
I didn't look like that.
00:17:29.288 --> 00:17:33.143
I did have a friend I remember he told me like why do you keep getting with these older men?
00:17:33.143 --> 00:17:35.369
He was like if they're alone, then there's something's wrong with them.
00:17:35.369 --> 00:17:46.421
But I just always felt like I didn't want to take what people said as for sure, and I'm sure that did come from my childhood of never being sure of what was going on.
00:17:46.421 --> 00:17:48.365
I had to figure things out for myself.
00:17:48.365 --> 00:17:50.431
So that's still my attitude today.
00:17:50.431 --> 00:17:53.144
I feel like I'm more self-aware of my surrounding.
00:17:53.144 --> 00:17:55.509
But overall I need to see for myself.
00:17:55.509 --> 00:18:01.912
I can't just go off of what you said or somebody's always going to tell me I didn't think and I need to figure it out.
00:18:01.912 --> 00:18:14.705
If I'm not feeling nothing bad, I'm not going to make myself say that I'm going to cause cancer, that's going to cause phytosis, that's going to cause my hair probably to fall out, and I don't know why I may cause so many things.
00:18:15.980 --> 00:18:21.501
So I kept hearing when you're in that industry, there are tricks, and I never understood that trick.
00:18:21.501 --> 00:18:22.923
I said what is a trick?
00:18:22.923 --> 00:18:34.036
Because the thing was when I didn't have any money, if I saw somebody, they gave me money and I was thankful because I was like I need this to pay my rent, I need this to take care of my child.
