Everything I Wish I Knew

"It's not about what you're doing, it's who you're doing it with." DISCLAIMER/SHOUT OUT: Please note this episode contains explicit language I would just like to thank Dale for being a part of this episode and opening up about his journey in therapy, relationships, his, mine & our mistakes and that it takes a lot to sit down and figuratively and metaphorically clean the slate. This was inspired by Ali McGraw and Oprah's Interview in discussing her relationship with the deceased actor Steve McQueen and McGraw's desire to sit down with McQueen and "Clean it all." - I believe this is something we needed to do and something I wanted to do. Again, thank you to Dale for being part of this.

Attention and love are NOT the same thing. This episode was rather hard to make. As it was being both vulnerable about affairs of the heart and maintaining a level of privacy for myself. During university I finally found myself attractive by other people. It was not until I learned through mistakes and the realities of life, that attention and love are not the same and that confidence needs to come from within. So, this episode has no effects and is rather raw, as it was one of the hardest lessons for me to learn, not just then. But even now.

"One of the traps of adolescence is that sort of paranoid resentment that somehow you're never going to match up.

"WHERE WAS MY OWL?!" Growing up I assumed that everyone was just like me, grew up just like me. Turns out they were different, I was different. But, these differences showed us some great strengths that I never saw in films, TV shows or read about in books. Guests: Dylan L.
