00:05 Life would always provide a way.
00:07 >> As you would say, the universe.
00:08 >> The universe, God, was always there.
00:10 He never left me throughout it all, so I never felt like I was in lack.
00:15 >> How much of the crying that you've been through in the last two years?
00:20 >> A lot.
00:21 >> A lot? >> Especially being there and
00:22 seeing my mom struggle even more with me, seeing me in that condition.
00:26 >> You cried a lot?
00:28 >> There would be a lot of times.
00:29 >> [FOREIGN]
00:32 >> I couldn't even.
00:33 There was a time [FOREIGN] I would hide away until eventually you go through
00:38 the dark night of the soul and then you're able to face even your loved ones,
00:43 face yourself in the mirror, face your family, and then done.
00:47 You start opening up the conversation.
00:48 Before that, [FOREIGN] I started,
00:53 when other people say starting from zero, at that time I felt like I was starting
00:59 at the negative because a lot of the things that I thought meant a lot to me disappeared.
01:04 And then you realize in that lowest moment, you have a lot to be grateful for.
01:08 You have a lot to be thankful for.
01:10 And then that's when you start.
01:11 >> [FOREIGN]
01:13 >> Today, today.
01:14 >> [FOREIGN]
01:21 >> I'm proud of him.
01:23 And I hope he's proud of me too.
01:25 >> What do you think?
01:27 Is he proud of you?
01:28 >> I think so.
01:30 >> Why is he proud of you?
01:32 >> If we can go through the darkest moment in our lives and
01:35 find that inner strength and that resilience.
01:38 [FOREIGN]
01:41 I think that's something to be proud of.
01:43 [FOREIGN]
01:48 There were times that, I don't know if I'm allowed to say,
01:50 it was really dark that I thought I was gonna do something to myself that's irreversible.
01:55 [FOREIGN]
01:57 >> Sorry,
01:58 [FOREIGN]
02:00 >> Now you almost contemplated dying by suicide?
02:06 >> I was there, Tito Boy.
02:06 And then a moment that flashed in my mind was, what would my nephews think
02:13 if they go through a hardship, they go through a hard time?
02:16 Tito Tom was able to do this, I can do it too.
02:19 And I thought, I owe them more than that.
02:22 And now I owe my younger self that too, that you can go through the hardest.
02:27 [FOREIGN]
02:29 As long as you find that integrity within yourself again,
02:32 you build that trust within yourself, that love for yourself, and
02:34 those who matter the most to you.
02:36 You can get through it.
02:37 [FOREIGN]
02:40 And I think he would be proud of me.
02:42 >> And I'm sure he is.
02:43 I'm sure he is proud.
02:45 [LAUGH]
02:45 [FOREIGN]
02:48 >> All of us have our own battles, Tito Boy.
02:50 >> Of course.
02:50 >> I'm no victim, whatever happened in my life, I was also complacent in it.
02:55 And I've taken accountability and responsibility for that.
02:58 And [FOREIGN] I wouldn't say that it's just me, it happens to everyone.
03:04 >> That's why we're talking.
03:05 You know why? Because a lot of people will be able to relate to your story.
03:08 >> Yeah, and they can get through it too.
03:09 >> And I'm just really glad, Tom, that you're here.
03:11 I'm really glad that you're back.
