A short monologue advising listeners to reframe romantic narratives: the speaker argues that believing someone who doesn't choose you can be "the one" is a harmful story, and emphasizes choosing oneself and seeking partners who choose you. The piece urges telling better love stories to avoid prolonged unhappiness.

They're the one for me. I know it. If only they could realize. It doesn't work like that. It's a story we're telling ourselves, and we have to start telling ourselves better love stories, or we're gonna make ourselves really, really unhappy. The right person for us is the person that chooses us. The person that doesn't choose us can never be the right person for us. It's just an idea. And ideas are cheap.
