Talk about your best friend
My best friend is my wife, Elisangela. And it is not because she is sitting right here with me listening. She's been my best friend for a lot longer than we've been married. The last year that I was in college, I was in a really rough spot. I was having a lot of depression issues, a lot of life issues, and it all just kind of came together into an atomic bomb where I just was not a good place.
And she was there to help me through that. And that's just something I'll never forget. She really didn't want to marry me, but it was very important to me that we stayed friends because she has been the truest, the best, the most faithful and loyal friend that I have ever even heard of. I was kind of a prick when we met. I was still figuring things out. It was a stony exterior to somebody that just wanted to be nice. But I didn't know how to interact very well with people, which is because I'm a slow learner about things, but she's funny and she's smart and she says she's timid, but she's really outgoing.
She'll approach anybody. She'll help anybody. One thing that I really admire her, admire about her is that she looks for opportunities to help, and it's just there's just things that don't even see like the elderly struggling to put the groceries in the car. She says, I'm gonna help you, whether you want me to or not. Or if there's some of that. She knows that she recently had a baby. She just said, I'm gonna go help her, she made dinner, took it over, and she cleaned her house just because that was the right thing to do.
She's very opinionated. She's very strong willed, which is something that I respect a lot. She once, she has an idea. You have to be very careful because, yeah, if it's not the right idea, it'll take. It'll take some convincing, and if it's a bad idea, she'll admit it eventually. But if she has the idea, it's because she's got this pretty strong reason to do it, and so it'll take some convincing, but she's just...she's the force that I needed to really, to really elevate in life, and I'm really glad that I have her with me.
