0:00When my cat Bill [music] died, I was super bummed cuz I really liked the cat and he died at like 18 months. And I remember being sad about it. I was like, "Why am I sad? I feel like it's not fair that he lived [music] such a short life." I was like, "Okay, so that means that I had an expectation that he would live longer than he did." I was like, "What if cats only lived 6 months and I got to hang out with Bill [music] for 18 months?" Well, then I'd be like, "Well, I mean, he lived a good long life. I mean, I got him three times longer than most people get their cats." And so then all of a sudden like my sadness was like it shifted to like more of an appreciation for the time that I had with him. It was simply just shifting my expectation around [music] what I expected.
