Don't fucking drink, don't invite people into 172 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: your space around your birthday if you have trauma, and 173 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: also maybe don't date at all until you figure out 174 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: your traumas. Bye, am getting on a boat then, by 175 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: I'm kidding. Yeah, Then I got on a boat that 176 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: day with my fucking amazing tribe of people that are 177 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: not negative and are positive and thought, huh. 178 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: Don't need that person in my life. 179 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: But more scary than anything is that before I got 180 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: on this boat, my friend s Bashan came to my 181 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,400 Speaker 1: house because we're driving together and I hadn't been outside yet, 182 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 1: and so he opens the door and he's like, Erica, 183 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: why are there flowers on your window? And I was like, 184 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: what are you talking about. He's like, there's sunflowers on 185 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: your window.

We went to the 187 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: farmer's market and I casually said, like, I don't even 188 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: I didn't even know if he heard me. Apparently he did, 189 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: because you know, manipulators hear things because they know how to, 190 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 1: like they pull things from like little things that you 191 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: say to like make you feel like you're fucking crazy. 192 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: And I was just like, oh my god, I love 193 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: some flowers.

That's the hardest part. It's really easy 274 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: to talk shit. It's really easy for me to say 275 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,199 Speaker 1: I'll never speak to this person again.

As I've read this book, it's 382 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: been so interesting. They go through and they talk about 383 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:26,240 Speaker 1: all the myths around sex and just like even why 384 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:30,760 Speaker 1: marriage was created, which was really just survival and like 385 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: meeting more people around to kind of like make sure 386 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: everyone could eat. 387 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,440 Speaker 2: And oh and then there's a part in there they 388 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 2: touch on like some history of sex. And one of 389 00:18:40,040 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: the things that they touch on is during like Nazi 390 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:47,160 Speaker 2: times during the Holocaust, they were saying how they pushed 391 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: for people not to have more sexual encounters and sexual 392 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: experiences because they contributed that to having free thinking. The 393 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 2: more in tune with your sexual desires you were and 394 00:18:57,400 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 2: more likely you were to act on them, the more 395 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,480 Speaker 2: likely you were to think freely and then go against 396 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 2: the powers that be which to me makes a lot 397 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 2: of sense. 398 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: There's this other I'm gonna read this one little part. 399 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,000 Speaker 1: I'm read two because there's they're important. I think they're 400 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:16,360 Speaker 1: talking about just like the psyche and like what happens 401 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 1: what women are fed, and like basically they're just saying 402 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: female sexuality is a commodity, and like commodities, it's made 403 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: more valuable by its rarity. So a woman who shares 404 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:32,879 Speaker 1: sex widely is reducing her own market value, which literally 405 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: is just how women are shamed constantly, constantly, like. 406 00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: We're like humans or something. 407 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 1: Think about like when you first start having sex or 408 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: like cooking up with boys and they want boys always 409 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,280 Speaker 1: ask how many people have you, like had sex with 410 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 1: out hommy ho you made out with, and they like 411 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 1: want an actual number because that's as. 412 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 2: An adult niggas asking me that. I thought that. 413 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: I think it kind of ended like around my in 414 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,360 Speaker 1: my mid twenties. 415 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,600 Speaker 2: I thought someone ask me as early as like thirty one, 416 00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,640 Speaker 2: and he was obviously a child. I'm like negative, I don't. 417 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 1: Know, front, I'll say. And then there's also this idea 418 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: that if you really are in love, you will automatically 419 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: lose all interests in others. So basically, yeah, like, once 420 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: you're in love, there's no more sexual attraction or more 421 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: lusting over anyone else than if you do, then you're 422 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 1: clearly not in love. 423 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 2: And that's crazy, that's absolutely insane. I mean, yeah, but 424 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 425 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: I just feel like I was an avid cheater early on, 426 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 1: like when I first started dating. 427 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,320 Speaker 2: Same because a lot of us are because of these reasons. 428 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, and like I think, I mean obviously daddy issues. 429 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 1: I was definitely seeking attention in men and men might 430 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: not men, let's get this straight, boys. Because I was 431 00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:44,879 Speaker 1: I did, I wanted love. I didn't really know what 432 00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 1: it felt like to be loved by a man or 433 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: a boy per se in any capacity. Really. My stepdad 434 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: kind of came into my life around I would think 435 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 1: I was like nine or ten. But like those like 436 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: anchors and roots, they need to be put in there 437 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 1: way before that, you know, and I never had that. 438 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 1: And so when I started getting interested, when boy started 439 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 1: getting interested in me, and I was a mature child, 440 00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: like not just physically because I was like my body 441 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: matured rather quickly, but even in like my mindset. I 442 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 1: think because my mom worked a lot and all the 443 00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,720 Speaker 1: people that I was that were around me were always grown. 444 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: So I was listening to a lot of adult conversations. 445 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: People would always tell me how grown I was and 446 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 1: like that. It was like a good thing, and so 447 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 1: I like went with that even more, like I was like, oh, 448 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 1: I'm mature, like you know, I think you have also 449 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 1: like that's like kind of detrimental to children as well, 450 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,959 Speaker 1: like telling a child that, like, oh, you're so mature, 451 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: you're so mature.

Literally 476 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 2: they were just in their own world. And I remember 477 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 2: the natal chart said you were always trying to like 478 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:51,919 Speaker 2: be heard and seen. So you've realized that talking eloquently, 479 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 2: having adult conversations, adults would pay attention to you, and 480 00:22:56,880 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: that's how you began to conduct your interactions by being 481 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,439 Speaker 2: smart and like being mature. Oh and I distinctly remember 482 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 2: some bitch, dumb bitch my uncle was dating. My uncle 483 00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 2: was talking in the kitchen and like she started to 484 00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:09,359 Speaker 2: curage and she's like, oh my god, I forgot I 485 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 2: was talking to you like that. You're a kid. And 486 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,440 Speaker 2: of course I thought, like, yeah, I'm mature. And then 487 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 2: inevitably people are like, oh, you're grown. You better watch her, 488 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 2: she's grown, and. 489 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: It starts to work against you. 490 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 2: Well, you start to believe the things that people tell you, 491 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 2: and like grown is a big like you know, they 492 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 2: that's a big thing for girls. I've never heard a 493 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,440 Speaker 2: little boy be called grown. True, that's never been said, 494 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: like and I don't even know if, like do white 495 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 2: parents use the term grown. It's such a like it's 496 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 2: like you grow, you grown, You better watch her. She fast, 497 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 2: She's gonna be fast. And inevitably you begin to believe 498 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 2: those things, like it's very important how you talk to 499 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: your kids. Even I have to check myself about this, 500 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,640 Speaker 2: because you do begin to believe those things, and then 501 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 2: you start dabbling in grown and fast shit. And I 502 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 2: think it's a combination of two things, you know, or 503 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 2: there's a lot of combinations of things.

And then sometimes 508 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 2: there's like there's been something that's happened to someone you know, 509 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,679 Speaker 2: like you've been touched, ormalisted or stimulated in some ways, 510 00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 2: and so there are sexual things, but overall it's super important. 511 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 2: Like I think this whole A lot of our shit 512 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 2: from the show comes just comes naturally, but like this 513 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 2: has been This wasn't obviously intentional, but this has been 514 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: an interesting journey while reading our journals and by reading 515 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 2: these books and really dissecting like the root of our 516 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 2: our openness and how dedicated we are to constantly just 517 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 2: reflecting and checking in on ourselves and like our relationship styles. 518 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 2: I mean, if you've been listening to the show for 519 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 2: like six months, you know this is a fucking constant thing. 520 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 2: Am I open?

I also I didn't 875 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 1: realize how incredibly insecure I was. 876 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,160 Speaker 2: I mean, clearly I was too. Natalie and that bitch 877 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:55,040 Speaker 2: Chanel were just making me feel incredibly insecure. I've been 878 00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:57,840 Speaker 2: leting niggas make me feel insecure for his centuries. Jesus Christ. 879 00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:59,719 Speaker 1: There was this poem that I read, Oh my. 880 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 2: God, my favorite Erica has a long I have to 881 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,319 Speaker 2: go to my mom's house and refurbish some journals. But 882 00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:10,439 Speaker 2: Erica has a long, twenty year bid of journals over here, 883 00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 2: and I'm kind of jealous of my trauma. I realized 884 00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:15,760 Speaker 2: that a lot of my writing trauma that I developed 885 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 2: a secret language because I'm a psycho and writing was 886 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 2: such an important part of my childhood and a part 887 00:42:21,680 --> 00:42:25,719 Speaker 2: of my channeling my feelings and being like therapizing. It's 888 00:42:25,760 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 2: crazy how like time it's all the same, you know, Like, essentially, 889 00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 2: I stopped writing a lot because I've had like four 890 00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:35,680 Speaker 2: hundred instances where my parents, my teachers and people I 891 00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,040 Speaker 2: was fucking read my journals. I was probably cheating, they 892 00:42:38,080 --> 00:42:40,719 Speaker 2: found out. And so during my pregnancy and during that 893 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,520 Speaker 2: time where I really wish I had record, I was 894 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,640 Speaker 2: so terrified to write because my baby daddy read all 895 00:42:46,640 --> 00:42:49,799 Speaker 2: my shit. But I see how like the talking on 896 00:42:49,840 --> 00:42:53,360 Speaker 2: the podcast kind of has facilitated that same thing. And 897 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,600 Speaker 2: even right now as we're writing a book, as we 898 00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:58,399 Speaker 2: have this grand, amazing opportunity to write this book, and 899 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:00,399 Speaker 2: we've i mean, I've questioned it, like how the fuck 900 00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:03,000 Speaker 2: am I writing a book? I'm an author, I'm having 901 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:04,759 Speaker 2: the opportunity to write a book, even though it clearly 902 00:43:04,800 --> 00:43:07,080 Speaker 2: I had been authoring for four hundred years. But there's 903 00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,600 Speaker 2: that questioning of it, you know. But like this, even 904 00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 2: these journals are a manifestation of what the fuck we're 905 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,680 Speaker 2: doing right now it's crazy. But anyway, I'm really jealous 906 00:43:15,719 --> 00:43:20,000 Speaker 2: that you have vivid memories of your pregnancy and that 907 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,279 Speaker 2: relationship that I was too afraid to have. Are you 908 00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,080 Speaker 2: going to share your poem or which one? 909 00:43:24,239 --> 00:43:25,759 Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna before I go to the poem, 910 00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,960 Speaker 1: because the poem was about my baby daddy and social 911 00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: media because Instagram started and then I was tripping. But 912 00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: this was actually the person I lost my virginity too. 913 00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,560 Speaker 1: So this person, his name was Kyle, and he went 914 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,320 Speaker 1: to the all boy high school behind my house. And 915 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:41,200 Speaker 1: you would have thought I knew him for a long time, 916 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:41,760 Speaker 1: but I didn't. 917 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:46,359 Speaker 2: Well, I've teenage.

There 1043 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,560 Speaker 1: were moments that I wrote, but I remember distinctly when 1044 00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,840 Speaker 1: Instagram was created and I started posting and he started posting, 1045 00:49:26,840 --> 00:49:29,279 Speaker 1: and at the time, like, you know, no, I think. 1046 00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:30,960 Speaker 1: I don't think anyone had a lot of followers. But 1047 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:35,719 Speaker 1: I had moved to New York. Actually we had broken up. 1048 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:37,759 Speaker 1: I had moved to New York, and he was like 1049 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,080 Speaker 1: claiming he loved me still and wanted me back, and 1050 00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,880 Speaker 1: I was just so annoyed, and I was like, why 1051 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,040 Speaker 1: don't you ever post me on Instagram? And so I 1052 00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,880 Speaker 1: wrote this poem to express myself. And it goes a 1053 00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:54,120 Speaker 1: little something like this January twentieth, twenty fourteen. It seems petty, 1054 00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,920 Speaker 1: but it's not. It makes me feel small. So stop, 1055 00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,880 Speaker 1: am I a secret? Like the thoughts you go to 1056 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:03,920 Speaker 1: sleep with? We had this talk before social media and 1057 00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:07,479 Speaker 1: whoores I know you think it's silly. My friends ask 1058 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,160 Speaker 1: what's the dally, so post my picture? Let them know 1059 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,880 Speaker 1: you my nigga, ain't afraid to show post my picture 1060 00:50:15,200 --> 00:50:21,719 Speaker 1: just one time. Let these girls know you are mine. End. 1061 00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:23,360 Speaker 2: That was beautiful. 1062 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:24,400 Speaker 1: Did he post my picture? 1063 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,200 Speaker 2: No, I posted your picture every day. 1064 00:50:29,080 --> 00:50:31,440 Speaker 1: But the needing of the validation, like I needed him 1065 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 1: to validate me publicly. I needed him to you know what. 1066 00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:37,640 Speaker 1: I think part of it too is like even with 1067 00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:39,440 Speaker 1: the guy that I lost my virginity to, he never 1068 00:50:39,520 --> 00:50:41,960 Speaker 1: validated me publicly either, Like we never he was never 1069 00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,720 Speaker 1: my boyfriend. It was never like we were never linked together, 1070 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:49,200 Speaker 1: and like I wanted so desperately to be like him, 1071 00:50:49,200 --> 00:50:51,920 Speaker 1: to call me his. And I think that's why I 1072 00:50:51,960 --> 00:50:55,120 Speaker 1: also became addicted to relationships. I was a serial relation 1073 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,839 Speaker 1: in the past. I've been a serial relationship person because 1074 00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:00,279 Speaker 1: it gave me the validation of like, I'm yours and 1075 00:51:00,360 --> 00:51:02,439 Speaker 1: you want me to be yours, and you're gonna tell 1076 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,600 Speaker 1: people that I'm yours and you're gonna post it on Instagram, 1077 00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: God damn it, Facebook, and also friends her. 1078 00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,680 Speaker 2: Friend validation is super important.

I'm sure it's love, but I'm also 1081 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:20,200 Speaker 2: reading my parents were disrespectful to me, and they didn't 1082 00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:22,960 Speaker 2: tell me nice things, and they were like always criticizing me, 1083 00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:27,200 Speaker 2: criticizing me, criticizing me, And clearly the criticizing caused me 1084 00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:31,040 Speaker 2: to seek any type of affirmation and validation from niggas, 1085 00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:33,320 Speaker 2: and when they didn't do that, I'm like, what the fuck? 1086 00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:36,359 Speaker 2: And I'm just searching for this validation. But like how 1087 00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,759 Speaker 2: we talk to our kids is important and vital because 1088 00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,319 Speaker 2: those they will go search for that shit elsewhere, and 1089 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:45,120 Speaker 2: even if it is an empty well of fucking compliments. 1090 00:51:45,600 --> 00:51:48,839 Speaker 1: Well, that's why the the father role is so important 1091 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:53,120 Speaker 1: to girls.

I know of girls super 1156 00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:06,480 Speaker 2: sexual acts behind trees, people have sex anywhere. I'm not 1157 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:09,200 Speaker 2: one of those people. I was, but I'm trying to 1158 00:55:09,200 --> 00:55:11,279 Speaker 2: make you understand that that shouldn't be an issue. And 1159 00:55:11,320 --> 00:55:14,480 Speaker 2: as far as my grades go, they're not horrible, but 1160 00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,520 Speaker 2: I admit second semester they could have been better. But 1161 00:55:17,640 --> 00:55:20,080 Speaker 2: it seems now that now that you know I'm involved 1162 00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,880 Speaker 2: with Thomas on a sexual level, you're blaming my grades 1163 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 2: on that. Just to remind you, Thomas and I have 1164 00:55:25,239 --> 00:55:28,000 Speaker 2: been dating for almost a year, and first semester I 1165 00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,680 Speaker 2: was doing just fun. It's no surprise that doing second 1166 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,960 Speaker 2: semester my grades seem to drop because it's the end 1167 00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:37,000 Speaker 2: of the year. But that's my fault, and I'm going 1168 00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:38,920 Speaker 2: to change that this year by staying up throughout the 1169 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:42,360 Speaker 2: entire year. When I set my mind to do something, 1170 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:44,840 Speaker 2: I'm going to do it because I know I'm capable 1171 00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:45,120 Speaker 2: of it. 1172 00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:46,759 Speaker 1: Better talk that shit. 1173 00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 2: I need you to understand that I'm taking that taking 1174 00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:53,360 Speaker 2: away privileges isn't the appropriate response to this particular situation 1175 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,799 Speaker 2: my parenting skills at sixteen. Honestly, I need you to 1176 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,920 Speaker 2: be here for me and support me, not putting me 1177 00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,759 Speaker 2: down or making me feel guilty. It's heart already as 1178 00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,880 Speaker 2: it is for me to be here for the same reasons. 1179 00:56:05,080 --> 00:56:07,959 Speaker 2: But I live with you. You're my mom. It means 1180 00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,080 Speaker 2: the most coming from you. 1181 00:56:10,080 --> 00:56:13,040 Speaker 1: You know. It's so crazy, like kids literally telling their 1182 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:14,360 Speaker 1: parents what they need from. 1183 00:56:14,280 --> 00:56:16,880 Speaker 2: Them and they're like fuck and their parents are like, no. 1184 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,560 Speaker 1: No, fuck that you don't need that, and it's like 1185 00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 1: you're literally saying like, if you just created this space, 1186 00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,120 Speaker 1: I would be able to tell you, and I would 1187 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,480 Speaker 1: I want that. Please give me that, please, please, And 1188 00:56:26,600 --> 00:56:28,640 Speaker 1: I would tell that to my mom too. I'd be like, 1189 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:30,359 Speaker 1: why don't you think I tell you anything? Because every 1190 00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,000 Speaker 1: time I tell you, you get upset and then she 1191 00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:33,719 Speaker 1: would be like, you're being dramatic, and then she would 1192 00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:35,000 Speaker 1: get upset and then I'd be like, this is why 1193 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm not telling you shit. It's like I don't know 1194 00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 1: what it is. And I have to check myself too, 1195 00:56:39,239 --> 00:56:42,120 Speaker 1: because it keeps going to cycle where parents literally forget 1196 00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:43,480 Speaker 1: what it was like to be kids. And I don't 1197 00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,319 Speaker 1: care what they say. They say they do remember they don't, 1198 00:56:46,560 --> 00:56:48,800 Speaker 1: or they choose or they just choose not to, or 1199 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:50,920 Speaker 1: they get too emotional because it's their kids, you know. 1200 00:56:50,960 --> 00:56:52,919 Speaker 1: And I get it, like I get I get that. 1201 00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:54,920 Speaker 1: I think I don't actually get it all the way yep, 1202 00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:56,560 Speaker 1: because my daughter's only six and she has yet to 1203 00:56:56,560 --> 00:57:00,719 Speaker 1: tell me she's had sex and a shed. But but like, 1204 00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:04,680 Speaker 1: I hope that I can just remember these moments, and like, 1205 00:57:04,760 --> 00:57:06,359 Speaker 1: I want to encourage you guys.
