QUOTES FROM THIS EPISODE
3:51 ~ “You know, there are times that you go to your corners, but you always stay in the ring.”
11:58 ~ "We're walking down the same path, but we are side by side... We're two individual people that have chosen to build their lives together. And it takes work and it takes therapy and it takes patience and conversations and space and ‘going to our corners’ and friendships... a good cry with a girlfriend will send you back home sometimes, you know what I mean? A river trip with his buddies will send him back home."
12:39 ~ “I think perspective has given me the feeling of: ‘I've never been hungry, I've never not paid my bills.’ I've maybe put a couple of bills on forbearance or decided which ones needed to be paid... a little late. But I've always figured it out. We always figure it out. It always works out. And the panic and the fear wastes valuable time that we can actually be enjoying.”
14:51 ~ “You choose how you want to walk through life and it's not always easy and I daily have to find joy. I daily have to find peace. It's not a given.”
28:34 ~ “Every morning you choose how you want your day to be... It's a choice... You can choose to move forward, you can choose to stay put. You can choose to live in the past. You can choose to give up. I choose to move forward.”
54:18 ~ “Black hair is an expression of who we are and our mood and our day and how we want to feel. It is personal. It's not something that you should just go touch or casually ask... a stranger about. It's not petting a peacock. You wouldn't pet a peacock.”
1:00:07 ~“Everyone just wants to be loved, wants to be happy, wants to be seen.”
