You know, this is where I said that romanticism really hurts. You know, what we see in TV shows, what we see in movies, what we hear in songs, all this romantic idea that your partner is going to be your best friend but also your lover. Lover but also your psychologist. Can you imagine? It's exhausting to think about and yet this is the picture we're being sold about love, in my opinion. Wouldn't it be nice sometimes to have a little bit of a filter and say, you know what? This thing is just an emotion. It's going to come and it's going to go. Why would I even bring it up? I have friends, girlfriends that I go, has it ever happened to you? And we vent with each other. Yes, this thing that. And you let it go and then I let it go and then by the time I see you, I don't even have it in my mind. Exactly.
