I rarely comment on videos but I feel compelled to write for this one because I deeply and heavily relate. Being "too much" and "too intense" has been a thematic struggle of mine. I came to the same conclusions as you, about how the problem with my intensity isn't a a reflection of me but rather a reflection of others. Even with this truth in mind, it's something I've been shamed for on multiple occasions throughout my life so self-acceptance is an uphill battle. Even so, it's nice to have this reminder through the support of a select handful (which I'm still trying to find) and honest videos like these. I always knew I liked your content because of what it reflected in me: existentialism and breaking the status quo through action and questioning. But this video also makes me realize that I was drawn because of your intensity. I'm glad to find a channel like yours. We need more people like us!
I too deeply relate. For me I quickly noticed in my childhood that I was too much for people handle: my curiosity, intelligence, sensitivity, weird quirks. My thoughts were too abstract for them, my desire for emotional depth to uncomfortable for them, my kind and pure heart viewed as a weakness or something to be exploited. But unfortunately in my case I learned to hide who I am from the world as a way of protecting myself and as such it's been a very lonely existence. It's made me apprehensive and sceptical of the world; approaching life with crippling hesitation and reservation.
I've been learning to open my heart in the past couple of years, but it's still hard to trust... hard to feel safe in the world
I have gotten, "calm down", "you're too intense" and particularly "you're too sensitive". My passion and sensitivity to life is a gift I realized now at 32 :) I see you, Nathaniel.
I get that a lot too. Especially as a woman, people don't like it when you're curious and "intense". I get told I'm "too much" but like you say, I eventually realized that I don't want to be around people who want me to be less in order to be acceptable to them. There are people who like that I'm intense and interested and curious and I can spend my time and energy around those people.
“You’re not too intense. You’re just too intense for that person.” Thank you Nathaniel! 🙏🏼
As someone who is pretty low energy, I've been thinking a lot about my relationships with intense or high energy people lately. It can be very complicated. These people are beautiful and I love how they see and interact with the world. Their energy can help me get out of ruts and I love getting swept up in their passions and helping develop their ideas. However, I'm not always able to keep up with them. So I think it's important to keep in mind that it's just in that moment our energy levels are conflicting. and it's not a problem with me or them, we're just two different, fluctuating and changing people, and sometimes it just doesn't mesh well. Communicating that can be challenging though.
Loved hearing your perspective on this and people's in the comments! I can empathise that growing up with a lot of passion would be very hard to stay true to yourself.
as someone who is intense, sensitive and passionate I really enjoy people like you who are low key and go with the flow. i think the key is holding space for and understanding each other and knowing how to communicate effectively. i enjoy being the 'spark' as you have described. but there is also so much value in being around someone who brings calm energy to the table. i enjoyed your honest reply!
Learning deep self acceptance, and honoring who I am, even if I was once told my qualities were ‘wrong’ or ‘bad’. I loved this chat, thank you Nathaniel 💕
Same here actually. Being proud of who you are and what makes you different is so important. Great video
As a kid I was constantly told to "calm down," "behave," or "act proper" by my mom. And then told by my dad, "speak up" and "stop mumbling." It's taken years to break out of the confused shell that created around me. I'm greatly enjoying the renewed energy in my personality! I'm glad you never let that close you off.
ADHD?
@PumpjackPiddlewick Is this a symptom of ADHD?
@@ling636 Yes. Definite buzzwords in there for it.
I love how you describe the contrast between your parents and can totally relate, although for me more concerning expectations put on me. It can be wuite disorienting as a child
@@pumpjackpiddlewick Grew up too poor for such diagnoses. Folks divorced within a year; evangelical mother and a rowdy trucker dad. Two very different parents, households, and expectations.
To the person reading this: THANK YOU for being an empath, a HSP or just someone who feels intensely. This world needs more people like YOU. Thanks for being here and adding value to our world 💖 Hope you have a blessed day filled with joy, happiness, health and love! 💖 Thanks Nathaniel for this video!!
Your big eyes are what drew me into you. Your intensity is what pulled me in after 1 second of seeing you on Kara and Nate’s video. It is weird how people can have opposite reactions to each other. I love your intensity and presence. Thank you for sharing it in such a vulnerable way💜
It’s crazy how much I relate to this. I also love intense people who love life and want to be better. Some people may hate that but that just means you need to find the right people. Such a great discussion ❤
I've heard the same growing up, especially emotionally. People use their sense of comfort to "defend" against that intensity, but reclaiming and owning up to it is a life long pursuit
Feeling "too much" in another way is something I can totally relate to! Learning to accept oneself, seeing it as a strength and being surrounded by supportive and like-minded people is really the way to go. It's astounding how much these "well intended" messages from people can do to us in our childhood. It creates a lasting effect and can even lead to developmental trauma. I wish adults knew more about how much their actions and words affect children and hence, would be more conscious!
Couldn’t agree more
Merci. I think with time I internalized all these "you're too intense" and I lost my fire. I spend hours dreaming about having my intensity, energy, and passion for life back. The flame, the little flicker of curiosity in my eyes was always my favorite thing about myself, but now it's been so many years that it's been dulled that I don't know where to start. Merci pour cette vidéo inattendue, it gives me hope
I learnt at a young age to not share my thoughts as it would make a lot of people uncomfortable, and it's taken years to come-back to myself and accept that their reaction or opinion has more to do with them than me... So I'm relearning to be myself and enjoy people coming and going
This speaks to me. I have always been told this from a very young age and been made out to be the “problem.” As a child we don’t have the capacity or understanding to not absorb that and believe it’s us, believe it’s who we are that’s the problem.
I wrote a poem about this last year around this same time. I realized that my being intense was not ever an issue about me, it was an issue for them bc it represented a place they couldn’t go to. I did what they couldn’t, said and dared to feel what they couldn’t. And so, the response to me was to mute me so they could feel more comfortable.
I think the saddest part of this is not only to hear it so much but to also hear it from parental figures that are molding us and our self worth as children. It’s a big one to overcome and to reparent for yourself as an adult. To look at yourself, to feel yourself and be the parent that you needed but never had as a child. To learn to love you, embrace you, nurture you and allow yourself to be exactly what they said made you the problem to begin with.
I’m so glad you have this video. Thank you for sharing this with others.
I was recently told that my stare was too intense and too philosophical - not the first time I heard this. For several times now I've felt this urge to lower my vibration of behaviour and thought, and simply mimic other people´s more passive attitude towards life.
Your words made me feel more confident that somewhere out there there's people that might resonate and vibe with me. Thank you Nathaniel! #ShakeThingsUp
“I’m just a giant mirror.” Brilliant! Of course, there is a place for every kind of person; and each person , whilst being true to themselves, whether intense, or not intense, will be contributing something of value to someone, LOL! Thank you for another gem!
Oh wow me too. I was always told I was "too intense", "intimidating" and people would tell me to chill out because they feel like they're not doing enough because I'm too much. It's frustrating to be passionate and then be told that your passion is making people uncomfortable.
(I also have huge eyes haha)
I’ve been feeling similar things lately. You articulated this so well! People have different preferences. It’s okay. My job is to focus on honouring my own preferences, and showing up as authentic as I can, knowing it will not please some subset of society lol. Truly accepting and embracing this is powerful!
I have been called “too loud” not due to voice tone but because I’m so invested and excited in a convo with somebody. That came from a parent/ex friends/teachers. I hated I had to suppress who I am. It wasn’t until a few years ago I embraced who I am. I like you love deep interesting convo I want to know the person I’m talking to there ins and outs, how they see things, etc. Thats one the reason I’m so interested in your channels I see similarities in you
I am completely different way. I am chill and calm most of the time. There are for sure some cool things about that, like I don't get stressed easily and a lot of people seek the calmness, but at one point I really did not like this quality of mine. I wanted to be this intense, energetic person. Partly, because it is closely tied to passion and enthusiasm and also, because I soak the energy of people around me pretty easily. Being near energetic people gives me energy. I become the energetic version of myself. And since, as I mentioned, this is the thing that I seek, I LOVE intense people. The whole thing is a lot more tied together, than I realised. That is one of the reasons I love your videos so much. Your intense energy always leaves me like 200% more energetic and inspired. This video opened my eyes to some aspects of this topic. Although energy is such a broad topic. While I do appreciate my calmness now, I will not settle for that, since I want to live a life full of passion. Energy is still such a mystery to me. I am still figuring out how much of it is "just the way I am" and how much of it depends on my thoughts, attitude and environment. I would like to hear more of your thoughts on this topic!
Hi Nathaniel, not sure if you will see this comment but I've been along for the journey since I was 16 now, coming to your videos feels like coming home, I feel understood, seen, and like I am in fact, just enough and not too much like I've been told my entire life as an undiagnosed kid with ADHD; growing up I received this feedback of being "too much" a lot, so thank you for sharing this beautiful message of self-compassion, this message is exactly what I needed at the right time that I needed it...turning 24 next year, how daunting, let's make the most of this short but wonderful and wild life we have on this amazing earth.
I needed this video. I am in my last semester of university and I have professors who understand my enthusiasm and some professors who hate me because of it. I have learned I have attracted these “intense” people and I am so grateful we can all balance eachother out 😅
Relating to this a lot. Always felt like my intensity was too much for most people and having left behind used to hurt so much..
Loved this one dude. I realized this about myself a year or so ago and ever since that point I’ve made it a goal to seek the connections that I’m the perfect amount “intense” for.
Love! The way you are. I was always told I was "too serious" and I was "always too sensitive". . After having a daughter, I read book after book to become the best parent I could be and in this came across a historical fact that the 'sensitive' people in indigenous people around the world, were always the medicine men and the wise women, teachers, doulas etc. They were a valued part of each tribe and village. After learning this, way too late in life, I was also finally able to see myself differently. Previously, serious and sensitive were accusations, and things to be ashamed of. Recently I ran across this quote from George Bernard Shaw, which I now value highly: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself, therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man. " Addio!
Nathaniel, you are “intense” and is one of your super powers.
I have struggled with being too intense my whole life. And you already mentioned it, but for me two big essential learnings:
1- self acceptance, and self-love. This is your superpower, you are already amazing with it, whatever happens, whoever you are with.
2- there is going to be always people who doesnt like you. And thats how this life experience works. As you said in another video, in the end this is related with us seeking validation and caring too much about what others think about us.
There is a lot of people in this world, if it doesnt work, dont get stuck, keep searching for them in other places.
As a personal story, in case it helps. I got used to the fact that x% of people in a group are going to feel “overwhelmed” by my “intensity”. And when I accepted that, I started to meet people who appreciated me for my “intensity”. While I was apologising for being too intense, they were telling me not to stop that, but the opposite, to keep transmiting this energy to them.
So this is me telling you and everyone in the comments, that is time to embrace your superpower, and keep bringing light to this series of experiments called life.
Growing up with adhd and being hypersensitive, I've always heard that I'm too intense. But I love it, and I know that this is what people actually like abt me. I like the way I see the world and how I share it with others.
I think there are different types of intensity that must be spoken about. Usually, when I experience somebody to be intense, it is only really a nuisance if I find that a one-sided dynamic shapes itself from it. I know people with big personalities, but I feel no way overwhelmed by them, because they have the capacity to listen and ask me questions.
Every relationship is different, I also notice how I appear more intense around certain people, but atleast I know that there is a balance that I should keep in mind. With some it is easier to meet that balance than with others.
I would never expected you to be "intense". You come across as so chill and thoughtful.
I found this very helpful as I am intense/passionate and also enjoy people with substance and depth, who are curious, look deeply into things, and consider varying perspectives. These people are challenging, yes, but this has made me realize I need to dwell even more intimately with these people, being one myself. They are telling me their truth as they have built it through their own exploration, so worthy of hearing and considering. We are sharpened by these exchanges, even if we don't agree or quite see it. Plus, I do get bored after a while with mere superficiality, which is what some may need to feel safe or to skate along.
I tell myself we have different operating systems and we need to accept others as they are. Wish that others could see this and not immediately reject a person for being different.
I've stopped speaking up as much (probably not a good thing as it feels like I am not really present) though it is always within me, this thing that disagrees or sees things differently or questions what the heck was said by the other. At times I've felt rejected and you made me understand that I need to just be who I am, accepting myself, regardless of others' reactions. I hope that I can take this to heart and stop worrying about whether people like me or not - Complete Self Acceptance.
"DON'T SHUT DOWN THAT FIRE!" Great words to hear. Who knows, I may lose more friends, as they may want to roll their eyes at my banter, but something in me needs to banter, pontificate, express, and just get it out! Meanwhile, I desire to explore, discover, breathe it all in, this being possibly the only chance I have to experience life (I do have some spiritual beliefs, but a strong realist view remains). I'd truly hate to waste my life on all this worry of whether others like or accept me or not, yet I do struggle with that to be honest, wishing I was a better communicator or had more social prowess.
It is truly wild and miraculous to be a conscious entity in this beautiful and compelling Universe. We get to see the stars, the beauty of Earth, learn about what is living, the cycles of things, and so much if we stay curious. How could one not be intense, realizing that, even those who hide the truth behind the shallow and the easy? That depth is scary I suppose, but look at the Universe. What's not scary about a super nova or the birth of stars? Obliterating gigantic explosions, collisions and extreme energies!! Thank you for sharing something I really needed to hear today!!!
This video couldn't have come at a better time! I've literally been having similar doubts and struggles about my own emotional intensity these past couple days and was reminded of some of your past videos about vulnerability and being expressive. There has always been a large part of me that strongly relates to the things you talk about and so many of your videos have been an immense source of encouragement and inspiration over the years. This video is certainly one of them. Thank you:)
as someone with exploding energy, I can relate so much to this. no one ever call me too intense, but most people just can't keep up with my energy. while I'm still on fire, people are already overwhelmed 😄 .. I love people who are intense and passionate about life, who are curious and have so many questions .. people with low energy tend to bore me 😅
I've loved your videos for years, but this video literally was like a huge hug. I'm the same way, I'm always "too intense" and love asking questions and intense curiosity. I too realized recently I need what you said here, I need other people like me (and you) - we can't let them push us down and we need to find each other and let each other spark our curiosity and joy.
People love to say "try Hard" as a negative, but Trying hard is what is needed when you just one life and you want to do so much. Love how you expressed this!
this is exactly what I’ve felt stirring up inside of me for pretty much my whole life ❤ so thank you for putting it into words
I finally discovered the term emotional intensity yesterday and I cried and cried coz finally it made sense what my life experience has been.
I had often wished I was “less difficult” but at the same time wondering why people felt I was difficult for simply wanting to understand things for example.
And finally my life makes sense to me. Work frustrates me because in the corporate space, there is so much pretence and inauthenticity and I can see through it and it seems I am often the only person bothered intensely by it. People often say things like, “that’s just how things are, just ignore it or just accept it without questions.” And I can never understand how they are able to do that.
same here, learned same lesson this year. wasted so many years trying to fit in with people that don't fit well with me. a lot better to have relationships that flourishes each personality. It's a freeing discovery
I love this.Thank you for sharing !
I needed this today. Thanks for staying open & honest Nathaniel!
I've been told I'm a fiery redhead who's too loud and too intense far too often in life, and what you have said in this video has deeply hit home with me.
The way I could put this is, If you were to walk into a crowded room full of people that made you uncomfortable, you would probably remove yourself from the situation. Rather than asking the crowd to be less for your own comfort.
The same can apply to being too intense. If someone was uncomfortable how intense you are, they shouldn't ask you to be less. It's affecting them, and not you.
Overtime I have learned these values about myself and am finding my people now, who are just as loud and intense and excited about life as I am.
I can relate to so much of your content. I'm 28 and only in the recent years developed a healthy level of self-love to let go of all of the negative comments I received from people telling me I was "too much" or "too intense." I also have large eyes so I feel like it's always easier for me to express my emotions really well on my face compared to other people who don't have such defined features. Glad to see we're all finding comfort in our own beings and gravitating towards those who will find comfort in our presence.
Thank you for this reminder 💫
I am married to a "too intense" husband who is a very passionate about all the activities he does (cycling, philosophy, cars, history etca) which he talk about these topics for hours. He has a very small circle of friends because they are able to keep up with his energy. Just have to find people around you that can either match or accept your passionate energy. 🐇🐒 Great insight!
Intensity is a blessing. It shows passion, truth seeking, and enlightenment. Cheers !🥂
Loved this video ! Keep shining Nathaniel 💞
Really needed this in this stage of my life. Thank you!
I've just listened to you describe a great deal of my life! Thanks for not dimming your light just to please others. "Ne plie toi pas en quatre pour plaire la moyenne!"
i really needed this, and have the same experience. Thank you for making this
Thank you! I definitely agree that not all of us need to be friends and I recently realized some similar stuff to what you said: I do not need to change, do not need to make people confortable. I am not too intense. I am intense and seek intense people and that's good! That's something I like about myself! So I really relate to you :)
Thank you for this, Nathaniel.
There's people who are not intense but have a deep and intimate intensity inside of them passions, ideas, skills but, the world telling us to calm down is a scary thing, it prevents us from letting out that instensity.
I totally agree with you, Nathaniel. I am a pretty intensed person too, like, whenever I have to do something I need to be focused. I always make sure nothing and no one can distract me because if there's something else happens around me, I'd go crazy. And I think that's ok because trying to be somebody else is like invalidating yourself especially your identity.
love witnessing your self acceptance journey - thank you for reminding us of important stuff like this
Thank you Nate!! I finally feel understood!!
Thank you so much i really needed to hear that 🌻🌼🌷
As someone who loves what you do, I'm glad you keep going!
I love ur take on this subject. Thank u....i needed to hear this😉
Beautiful message Nilly!
i extremely relate to this message. having a lot of humor and joy in my speech it often feels like a lot of energy for others. :)
it is always a pleasure to listen and watch your videos Daniel. You bring so much energy to the table
Oooo! I like this one! Very real! Not a hint of "let's give them what they want" which really does not work! Give us what YOU want! Just like this! 🎯
Love the sentence: " You see in me, what you see in yourself" that's something that i've logically come to understand, but emotionally haven't caught up with yet. When people judge or reject something about me, it actually simply shows a conflict of their internal world. I can't help but still pull together when someone expresses this kind of attitude towards me. An instant adaption to their attitude...which isn't what i actually want to but simply do out of habit. autopilot.
Nathaniel, thanks so much for making this video! You’re an inspiration!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been thinking about this concept a lot lately. My curiosity can be often mistake for bluntness or a lack of acceptance although it’s rooted in a genuine desire to understand life and people.
Well this was a breath of fresh air. Thankyou.
Awesome topic. Thought-provoking and authentic. Thanks for sharing.
Yes yes yes yes and YES! Totally agree, did I already mention that?
This was great to hear. I have looked many times for advice on how to do better socially and they always dunk on intensity like no one will ever like you if you're intense, so I felt badly about it for many years. I've been so busy worrying how other people feel about me that I didn't realize I love intensity, I love curiosity, I love those things about myself but suppressed them to make other people happy. I also tire of talking to people who have no passions or yearning for wisdom, who just glide about life not really thinking about anything. That's fine for them but I need more stimulation, and conversations about deeper topics. Thanks for posting this.
PERFECT TIMING .really needed to hear that .thank you Nathaniel
I love that you brought this topic up. It's hard when you don't get it, so hard it makes you feel like you're a freak and you don't fit in. My intensity was always reflected in everything I liked. I've never known to like something a little. If I like something, it is always 1,000,000% and I show it in a thousand passionate ways. As a result, there is always some weird face saying "ugh, that's cool, yes, but you're exaggerating" or "that's weird" or "that thing you like isn't really that cool" trying to make me lower my intensity and close in on myself. Basically, something bothers them so much that they try to cut you off. Over time, if you're true to yourself, life ends up bringing you closer to people just as intensely, and then you know you're not alone. But it's hard until that moment arrives because until then, you learn to shut up and live your passions alone and in silence. I have spent my life being a fan of many things completely alone. But I don't stop being who I am, because I feel like it's a gift. Feeling that intensity for things makes me live each moment 100% and better understand that something is not going well when things are not going well. Being so intense has allowed me to have more introspection, to be more empathetic and to love more deeply. And as I say, life ends up bringing us together when we are ready to understand that living passionately is perhaps your tool for change.
Regards, Nathaniel! 🤗
Just want to say thank you for all of your videos!
I love your intensity and I'm glad you never dulled your shine!
Wow! This message came at the perfect time. I love it when the universe builds on itself. As I just learned from another TH-camr, the sun doesn’t care if anyone thinks it’s to bright. If someone has a problem with the intense light they need to put on sunglasses or close their blinds.
My fellow intense people, you shine bright ass light!!!!
Very well said my friend. From one intense dude to another
I really need this message today, thank you so much for reminding me that I'm not too intense, I'm just passionate about connecting in a deeper more meaningful way with life. Thank you for being intense Nathaniel, I appreciate you! ❤
I really enjoyed this video and can relate so much.All my life people have told me that I’m “too much” or just to “leave things alone” and I never understood how they were happy with that. As I move out of my mid 20s I’m finally realizing that I’m not the problem and like you said, they just like different. Thanks for this video!
Just when I was going in the deep hole of questioning myself, this video came. Thank you Nate
Im also overly energetic and thats really comforting,ot hurts to not find people like me but comforts me to know im normal,also people say i have too small eyes i learned to like them!
Definitely good content. 100000% relateable. Thank you for make me realize that I'm not alone after all.
Thank you so much Nathaniel, I really needed to hear that today ☀️
We are intense and we're allowed to shine ✨✨✨
thank you so much for saying this! my type 8 feels very recognized
THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS. it made me smile after a difficult exam. everything is relative :)
YOU are a breath of fresh air. Keep being who you are, and bringing that to your creative work!
Omg I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this!!!!!!!! Thank you so much, you articulated this to perfection!!! 🤩♥️
I get it too, but never stop being yourself!!! Another great video as always
I can't relate to a content more than i relate to yours.
I've felt , questioned and experienced nearly every video you posted. I'm so grateful for finding your channels, it always feel like I'm speaking to a friend .
keep making those masterpieces 🤍
Thank you for your words.
I love these simple little "journal entry" type vlogs. Feels like when I get some feeling/emotion around a topic in my head and I immediately open Apple Notes to jot down some thoughts around it, just to get it out of my head and committed in some analog way in case I wanna dig deeper.
i recently have found motivation to bring out my true self by thinking of the concept of "not being a victim". if i find myself being a little insecure in a social situation or like i am somehow adapting my personality, then i just think "don't be a victim", and for some reason that hits the right spot for me
Literally me, I struggled with this with people as soon as I joined university. Love this video, needed this so bad, love u
Thank you Nathaniel, I think this is a message that many people, including me, didn’t know they needed to hear.
I have always felt left out from other peoples careless fun because I am also someone who asks questions about life and won’t accept things the way they are, I’ve always been insecure about not being casually fun and exciting. I’ve always wanted to be one of those “cool” people that can make anyone laugh and have a good time. (I’m only 17 now) I tried so hard to fit in and be liked, which led me down a dark road and I’ve spent years trying to be someone I’m not. Only recently I’ve started trying to accept and embrace who I am and I’ve realised that who I really am is who I would rather be. You can only be happy if you are comfortable with yourself and who you are. This video really helped to build confidence in the idea that people will love me for who I am.
Thank you for sharing your wisdom, you are a beautiful human :)
I personally love your intensity, it reminds me a lot of myself! I've also been told to calm down my whole life
Wow. Although I can't relate to being intense, I find so much meaning in what you say. Makes me reflect and think about my own things. Thank you.
This couldn't have been more timely that sometimes I used to feel ashamed of it and avoid social contact. I'm still learning how to embrace my emotional intensity but it hasn't been easy. Thank you so much for this reaffirmation💖
Same here actually. So glad we’re all growing lost this ideology ❤
@@khalilahd. Yes we are.😊 Love your channel btw💖
I loved this video! I have always been pretty intensely enthusiastic and while it has gotten me in trouble, I am totally embracing it now. Moving to France in a few weeks and can't wait to be intense over there. :)
you coming with this intense life force is a gift
If I would have listened to what everybody else said like, "Do not do this!" "Do not do that!" "You are going to fail!" I would have not made it very far in life. I am not saying that people should listen to others but maybe 10-15% of the time. 90% you should listen to yourself.
OMG, Nate, this is so much about me! I can totally relate to what you're saying. God, so many times people told me I'm too intense, there's too much of me or that I want to much etc. And it's so cool to hear these kinds of thoughts from you. We intense people need to stick together. Love you, Nikita
This video caught my attention once i heard the "intense". Surely made me uncomfortable big part of my life had to try being normal until i realised i become more happier getting to the extremes i wanted. Thank you Nathanael for making me feel once again that it's ok 🙏🏾
Learning is happening here! Cool!
