Mr. Henderson.

You wanna know
what I did?

I took my Apple iPhone

and I went into the texting

You heard me right.

I took the autocorrect

off of my texting.

I'm not afraid anymore, okay?

I'm willing to live
on the edge.

I'm willing to go
over the edge.

I will misspell words
and type them


as often as I want to.

I don't care
about spelling it right.


You want to know something?

Apple has the audacity

to correct my misspellings

by letting me know
they're wrong.

It doesn't tell me
what the right option is.

It just tells me I'm wrong.

God, I just love those guys

Well, thank you, Sammy,

for your words.

a lot of people in this room

can relate.

Say it with me.

Toughen up.

And finally,
I realized I hit a...

kind of a breaking point.

Wolf! Wolf!
Face of wolf.

Face of wolf!

Are you a fricking wolf

Uh...

If I can't control my feelings,
then I-I have to destroy them.

Tamp it down

Tamp it down

I have to destroy
all of my feelings,

forever.

We need to desensitize you,

rewire your neural pathways,

reframe your relationship
to everything around you.


To truly be
your toughest self,


you must divest
from your softest possessions.

Look, you don't care

and that's so cool,
