1
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: I do like that we have a day that represents love,

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: and not only like love between like a significant other,

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: but if not like a means that is friends. I

4
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: do like that. Get a little glass of wine or

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: a tea or whatever it is. It's going to make

6
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:20,920
Speaker 1: you happy. You can also draw back, make something very

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 1: romantic for yourself. I had a boyfriend that he was horrible,

8
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: never like at least a little like edible arrangement or

9
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,560
Speaker 1: something like hey like he it was just he was

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: the worst. I don't know how I was with him

11
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: for four and a half years. Hello, my beautiful people,

12
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: thank you for tuning into this week's episode of cheek

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 1: Ease and Chill. Today is going to be a themed

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: episode ahead of Valentine's Day. Tomorrow is Valentine's Day or

15
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: Valentine And you know what, not all of us have

16
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 1: a partner to share with. And that's totally okay, Okay,

17
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: So yes, I have a boyfriend right now, but some

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: of my favorite VALENTI and say, we're spent alone or

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 1: with friends or even with my sisters. So I want

20
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: to dedicate today's episode to the most important kind of love,

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: self love. I'm going to be sharing some of my

22
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: favorite ways to shower yourself with love, and I might

23
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: even share a couple of stories about my best and

24
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: worst Valentine's Days. So let's get this episode started. This

25
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:31,400
Speaker 1: is chick ease and chill. People seem to either love

26
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day or hate it. I personally like, maybe I

27
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: wi you know what I mean, Like it's not like

28
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: something that I look forward to, like for instance, Thanksgiving.

29
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I want to say, like it's my

30
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: least favorite holiday to be honest, but I don't mind

31
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: celebrating it. Does that sound weird? I definitely don't hate it.

32
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: I guess it's like the whole Valentine's Day like rush

33
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: that I'm like kind of like, you know, I feel

34
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: like we should celebrate love every single day, But that's

35
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: just me and I think most of us do. But

36
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: I do like that we have a day that represents

37
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: love and not only like love between like a significant other,

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: but if not, like I meant that is friends. I

39
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: do like that. It was so cute because my mom

40
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 1: growing up, like when we were younger, she would always

41
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: send us like flowers and cars, like if she was

42
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 1: out of town or she would make us cute little

43
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: baskets and get everything from like the nine nine cent

44
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: store and make us cute baskets. And she showed like

45
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: us like we are her loves and she is our love,

46
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. And it was just so nice.

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 1: So I'm so grateful that she did that, because it's

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 1: not just like I said, about finding that one person.

49
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: It's no, it's loving each other as a whole. Okay,

50
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: so now that we talked about that, now let's talk

51
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: about self love and ways that you can make yourself

52
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: feel extra special. First of all, there's nothing wrong with

53
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: dating yourself, you guys, there's nothing wrong with taking yourself

54
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: to dinner, to the movies. I feel like it takes

55
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: an extra confidence to your person to do things by

56
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 1: yourself and mind you. For a long time, I was

57
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: just afraid of being alone and listening to my own thoughts.

58
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: Until I've learned, well, I've healed through therapy. I've healed

59
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 1: a lot of things, abandonment issues, etcetera, etcetera. But I

60
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: wish I would have known this in my twenties, where

61
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: it's like, dude, just go to the park by yourself,

62
00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: like literally date yourself, like fall in love with yourself.

63
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: I have gone literally on dates by myself. I have

64
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 1: gotten dressed up, got my hair and makeup done, and

65
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: I posted a picture once. It was when I was

66
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: going through my divorce, and I literally got myself ready

67
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: and I went to Morton's, Okay, a steakhouse, and I

68
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: had a beautiful dinner by myself. People thought I was

69
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: dating someone else, and I swear to you, I did

70
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: not go with anyone. It was a complete date by myself.

71
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: Put that on like my mother's memory, I have no

72
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: reason to lie. And it felt so empowering to sit

73
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: there and people, of course stared because I was looking cute.

74
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: I had like a cute ass out fit, my hair,

75
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: makeup was done, and I was sitting there just having

76
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: a drink, having some wine by myself, had my steak,

77
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: and people did stare because there was no one else

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 1: by themselves. And it wasn't a special occasion. It wasn't

79
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. It was just a random ass day that

80
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: I wanted to take myself out. I've gone to the

81
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: movies by myself. It's a little harder now that you know.

82
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: I'm cheeky, as I guess you could say, and I

83
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: forget to be honest, Sauce. I just want to continue

84
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: to do that stuff. So it's a little harder, but

85
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,080
Speaker 1: I still do it. Put on my beanie, that put

86
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: on my hoodie. Even if I have a boyfriend. I

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: think it's super important to still nurture that side of

88
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: yourself and be okay with embracing those alone moments. So anyways,

89
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 1: by yourself, flowers, I do that all the time, handy like,

90
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: and not only that, if you feel like on Valentine's

91
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Day you don't have that person or you know, like

92
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 1: it's hey, I'm gonna go by myself an outfit. Okay,

93
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go buy myself a damn outfit. I want

94
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: to look good. By yourself a gift. I love doing that.

95
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: I love buying myself kiss I'm like, you know what,

96
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 1: I worked hard this week. I'm gonna go get myself

97
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 1: something special. This year, I'm working on being a little

98
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: bit more frugal. You guys all like I'm trying to

99
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: like invest it, so I'm trying not to do that

100
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 1: as much. But there's nothing wrong with splurging on yourself.

101
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: You work hard, you deserve it, and it just makes

102
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: you feel good, you know. I don't know. I mean,

103
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,960
Speaker 1: that's just that's my two cents. I think too many

104
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: people are afraid and to like worried about finding that

105
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: person that you're so worried about finding that person that

106
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: you lose focus of like what's really important, like looking within.

107
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of people, a lot of us,

108
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: and I include myself, we are afraid of looking within

109
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: because we're afraid of hearing what it is that we

110
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: need to change, what it is that we need to

111
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: be better at. And I think when you have those

112
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:52,040
Speaker 1: moments of silence is when you learn the most about yourself.

113
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 1: And you should not be embarrassed. I'm telling you. It

114
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: takes a badass bitch, even a guy, to go somewhere

115
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: by themselves. Like it's like, yeah, I love myself that much.

116
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk in this bitch in this restaurant and

117
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sit here. I got this, And you never know,

118
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 1: maybe some guys there with his friends and walks up

119
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: to you. Just never know what can happen. The universe

120
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: is always always working. Okay. Oh. Another thing that I

121
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: love to do is if you don't want to go out,

122
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: you don't have to go out, Like have a movie

123
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 1: night by yourself watching. There's so much stuff on Netflix

124
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,680
Speaker 1: right now, you guys like put on your pjs as

125
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: one of the things I love to do is I

126
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,719
Speaker 1: put on my favorite comfy pjs order like in you

127
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 1: know now they have like these pizzas that are like

128
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 1: heart shape. If you're like into that, I think it's cute.

129
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: I would do it. I'm very like that's so me,

130
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I mean, I think like having

131
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,599
Speaker 1: a bottle of wine, champagne, some tequila and a pizza,

132
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: watching your favorite movie and comfy as clothes. Dude, that

133
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: sounds so delicious, Like, ah, do you know I might

134
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: do that? Actually, that sounds really nice because it's like

135
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: I like Valentine's. They don't get me wrong, but it's

136
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: it's like sometimes I just want to chill, you know,

137
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't want to necessarily get dressed up all

138
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: the time. I just want to like be lazy. And

139
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: that's fun too. So don't I feel like you need

140
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: to get dressed up and Invalentine's I gotta take a

141
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: picture for Instagram. It's just as cool to take a

142
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: picture and post that I'm sitting here and enjoying my

143
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: couch my home, this pizza. Okay. Another thing you can

144
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: do is a spawn day. Spat days are always a

145
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: good idea, even if it's not like a big spat,

146
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: like a big name brand type of spall, like a

147
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Burke Williams. I love Berquilliams, but like it could be

148
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: like one of those like those small boutique little like

149
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: massage places. I love the Asian ones. I always go

150
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: to the Asian ones and it's very inexpensive and very

151
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: good massages. So even like to get like an hour

152
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 1: of just pampering yourself in that way. If you want

153
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: to do a full lass spall day, then do it.

154
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: That's always nice. But I think that that's another way

155
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: of pampering yourself of just like putting your phone away

156
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: because a lot of spats don't allow you to have

157
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 1: your phone and just being with yourself and just sitting

158
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: there in the sauna or sitting in like the jipouzy

159
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: and just giving yourself that gift of a nice facial,

160
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 1: of a massage, or maybe not even getting a massage

161
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: or official just using the amenities at the spa. I

162
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 1: love that. Sometimes they're like twenty bucks just to use

163
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: the amenities. So it's like, you know, it's just like

164
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: looking it. I always say that get up with it.

165
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: Where there's a will, there's a way. It sounds clichet,

166
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: you guys, but it's it's the truth. Or you can

167
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:39,840
Speaker 1: also draw a bath, put some like Epstein salt, relax

168
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: the muscle, some like lavender oil, eucalyptus, put on some candles,

169
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,680
Speaker 1: like make something very romantic for yourself. Get a little

170
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: glass of wine or a tea or whatever it is

171
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:54,680
Speaker 1: it's going to make you happy, and just sit there.

172
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes I just like to put like meditation music in

173
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: my bathroom light some candles, put my hair up, and

174
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: just sit in some warm water. That's a beautiful way

175
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 1: of also pampering yourself and enjoying Valentine's Day and not

176
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,840
Speaker 1: worried about being in the rush of Valentine's Day or

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 1: just any day. That's part of self love, you guys.

178
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:14,680
Speaker 1: It's not just like people think, oh, self love, it's selfish.

179
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: It's just you, you, you you, you, yes, and no self love.

180
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: It really starts with you. When you know how to

181
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 1: be with yourself and love yourself and shower yourself with love,

182
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: it's so much easier to give it to other people,

183
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: but also with the balance of knowing, wait, I'm not

184
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: giving too much of myself either. It's that balance, you guys. Everything,

185
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,440
Speaker 1: it's the ying and the yang of life. And I'm

186
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: telling you it's just it's a game changer. So nice

187
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: little bath once a week is awesome. Twice a week, relax, Like, honestly,

188
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,160
Speaker 1: I think it's I need to do that more often. Actually,

189
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: I really need to like take a bath maybe tonight.

190
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: I've had, like I said earlier, I've had Galantine's Days

191
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: where I've invited my friends over were all single, and

192
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: I did on on the reality show. Actually, um and

193
00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,360
Speaker 1: I had all my friends over and we had a

194
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: Valentine'sday party, a Galentine's Day party, and I got up

195
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: being at that and at that time there was this

196
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: guy that totally broke my heart and I was, of course,

197
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:15,719
Speaker 1: between like the drinks, I was crying, but I was

198
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 1: also hidden being at that. I was happy to be

199
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: with my friends, so that was cool. And maybe through

200
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 1: a little party, to you guys, you could have a

201
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: little get together with your friends that are single, and

202
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 1: even if they're not single, still like celebrate love, you

203
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: know what I mean. So look it togethers are always fun. Okay.

204
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: So those are just a few things that I feel

205
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 1: you can do. If you don't have a significant other,

206
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: you are your significant other. You are the best partner

207
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 1: and the most loyal and committed partner that you're going

208
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,080
Speaker 1: to have for the rest of your life. Just remember that. Okay.

209
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: If you know no one is going anywhere in your life,

210
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: it's you, So make sure you take care of you

211
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: and pamper yourself. And hopefully those things helped and you know,

212
00:10:51,480 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: some ideas out there. So now I want to tell

213
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: you guys about my best and worst Valentine's Day. So

214
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: all my Valentine's Day, honestly, they've been pretty good. I

215
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: can't necessarily pick one that's been like the best. I'm

216
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,719
Speaker 1: telling you because I spent a lot of Valentine's Day

217
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: by myself, especially like I had a boyfriend that he

218
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: was horrible, never like at least a little like edible

219
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: arrangement or something like hey, like he it was just

220
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: he was the worst. I don't know how. I was

221
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: with him for four and a half years, so I

222
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: had like that extreme of like Valentine's Day was just

223
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,120
Speaker 1: not important to him, and he would totally forget and

224
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: just wouldn't send me anything. I had to remind him,

225
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: which is super embarrassing. And then there was another guy

226
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: that was like super extravagant and over the top and

227
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: said it not as in a bunch of flowers, and

228
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: it was nice. So yeah, I've had nice Valentine's Day

229
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 1: alone and not alone. And my worst Valentine's Day going

230
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: back to like the Galentine's Day that I had at

231
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: my house, um, with my friends, it stemmed from this

232
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 1: guy that I'm about to tell you guys, there's this

233
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: guy and I want to say his name, but I

234
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,359
Speaker 1: was like totally head over heels for him. I was infatuated.

235
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 1: It wasn't even love. We weren't even ever in a relationship.

236
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: UM a lot older. He was like eleven years older

237
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 1: than me. When I met him at this club, Spanish

238
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: club that I would go to and I would just

239
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: go there because he was like the head of security guards.

240
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: And anyways, I became friends with his sister and him.

241
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: You know, his sister and I are still friends actually

242
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: to this day. So anyways, I was like head over

243
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: heels for this guy for like two years and he

244
00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: would like, you know, streaming along and one ft in,

245
00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: one foot out, and it was like, no, I don't

246
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: want a girlfriend and this and that, but I like

247
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,439
Speaker 1: you is that kind of thing, you know, And all

248
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,440
Speaker 1: while he was talking to this other girl who he's

249
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: still with you guys, by the way, she's very pretty.

250
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: She's younger than me. So anyways, that day that Valentine's Day,

251
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: I was waiting like a mensa, thinking, oh my god,

252
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna like ask me for valin Time's Day. And

253
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: I remember telling my mom was like, you know, I

254
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: might have plans tonight, you know, he might ask me.

255
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: And I was like waiting and waiting. I'm like, oh

256
00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 1: my god, it's two o'clock he has and said anything.

257
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's four p m. Hasn't said anything.

258
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: And then this girl like at night. Then by that time,

259
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: by like when I was like, I realized he's not

260
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 1: going to ask me to do anything on Valentine's Day

261
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:19,760
Speaker 1: because he always was that type of guy that would

262
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: like try to like call me and text me at night.

263
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,080
Speaker 1: It was that kind of thing, you girls, you know

264
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. He was like totally total boy. Anyways,

265
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: I never got a text from him if anything. He

266
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 1: just said, like, yet that the happy Valentine's Day. I

267
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 1: hope you have a beautiful when I was like what.

268
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: So then I find out that night, like around ten pm,

269
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: he had gone to dinner with a bunch of couples

270
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: and took this girl. That's when I found out about

271
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: this girl that he's still with. And one of the

272
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 1: girls was like, Hey, I just want to tell you

273
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 1: that you need to just drop this guy. He just

274
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: got to dinner with all of us with this girl.

275
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: I was expecting you and he got to dinner with

276
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: this other girl, and I was like, oh, I was heartbroken.

277
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 1: I was like, I cannot with my life. I just

278
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: thought my whole life was just gonna like be over.

279
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,400
Speaker 1: It was the worst. And I found out on Valentine's

280
00:14:07,440 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 1: Day that he had been dating this girl at the

281
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: same time and they're still together. And what he told

282
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 1: me was, you're just you know, you're older, and I

283
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: want a younger girl because I want to be able

284
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,120
Speaker 1: to mold her, and you have great things about you.

285
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 1: But because of course, I confronted him about it, and

286
00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: this is the spill that he gave me. So I

287
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: was eleven years younger than him. You guys, but he

288
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: still wanted someone younger than me so that he can

289
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 1: control her. That's basically what he told me. Anyways, peace

290
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: and loved to him. I know he wants this, he

291
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: always will and I'm just kidding. But anyways, I was,

292
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: I think the worse because it was on Valentine's. It

293
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: was devastating and it hurt me for a long time,

294
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: like for a year. I think I was single after

295
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: that for a year, and then the next Valentine's I

296
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 1: was still crying about it. I was just like, so

297
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 1: it had hurt my ego so much. You guys, That's

298
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: when I had the whole get together with my friends

299
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: because he would still try to talk to Hi. I'm like, oh,

300
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:58,080
Speaker 1: you have a girlfriend, stop go away. But anyways, I

301
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: just had to get that off my chest. So anyways,

302
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: we're over that, and yeah, I just needed to share

303
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: that because you guys, just like you, I'm sure a

304
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: lot of us have had those moments, those weak moments,

305
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: and from those moments, we learned and we grow and

306
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: ain't no man ever gonna do that to me again. No,

307
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:21,640
Speaker 1: that's all I needed that one lesson. I learned my lesson. Anyways,

308
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:23,280
Speaker 1: we were talking about the best and the worst, and

309
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I can't really pick one of

310
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: the best. But last year, last year's Valentine's Day was

311
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: so freaking beautiful, you guys. It was my first Valentine's

312
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: Day with Emilia and he did like this whole thing

313
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 1: in the living room and did like made this big ball,

314
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: big tree of just a bunch of roses. It was

315
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: so beautiful and I'll never forget because it was like

316
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: our first Valentine's Day. And I'm telling you, I'm not

317
00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: that girl that's like you have to do something fucking

318
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 1: beautiful and extravagant in this whole thing for Valentine's Day,

319
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: because I'm just like, I'm over that part of it.

320
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: I get it. Like for a while I was that,

321
00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: but I'm no longer that. So anyways, I was just

322
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting it. It is so freaking beautiful. So now

323
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: that I think about it, I'm like, I love that

324
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. So this year, we're gonna keep it more chill,

325
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: Like we're gonna go to Fashion Week and probably do dinner.

326
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: But I'm not expecting anything crazy, and I, you know what,

327
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: don't feel the pressure. I personally, don't of like having

328
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: to show, Oh, my partner did something huge or I

329
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: did something huge, or we need to take cute little

330
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: pictures for Instagram. Like that's another thing that I'm just

331
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: like so over like if it happens cool. I wanted

332
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: to be organic, but I do see that a lot

333
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: of people plan it just for social media, and that

334
00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: just doesn't feel authentic to me. So I'm just more

335
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: of like being authentic and whatever happens in the moment,

336
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: if I feel it in my heart, I'm going to

337
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: post it. If not, I'll keep it to myself. I've

338
00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: learned throughout the years to keep things to myself as well,

339
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: to savor it a little bit more because I don't

340
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 1: want everyone's opinions and it's just like, oh it wasn't

341
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: big enough for it's too small, or it's people always

342
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 1: have an opinion. So anyways, I don't know, maybe you

343
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 1: guys will see I'll post something tomorrow. But any ways,

Speaker 1: and every one of you have a really special one

Speaker 1: like I really really do. It doesn't matter if you're

350
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: in a relationship, if things are complicated, or if you're single.

351
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,480

355
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:35,600

00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: others that self love you, guys. Not settling for less

365
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,479
Speaker 1: than you deserve. Not settling to settle. It's a very

366
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: important one. So people just getting relationships just to settle,

367
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: and they stay in them to settle because they want

368
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 1: to settle. So anyways, self love, taking care of your

369
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: own needs, and not sacrificing your well being to please others.
