She also connected her optimism to her conviction that truth ultimately prevails.“And I do think that spiritually, like people are, we’re just kind of more in tune right now. And like I said, the reason why I’m positive every day and happy every day is because the truth is inevitable. It always wins.And I know that I am on the side of truth. And like I said, I do also just, I’m in a different place right now with the assassination of the Charlie being gone, where I have moved from that initial trauma and feeling haunted by it to feeling like he’s just like fighting alongside. And I don’t know if that makes sense to you guys, but I, that’s just how I feel, man.Call it added to my a pile of dreams or something. I feel like Charlie’s really with us and we’re going to see this thing to the end. Like he tweeted back in 2018, I won’t be here, but you see this thing to the end.That’s what we’re doing. We’re seeing it to the end.
