0:00.0	Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago
0:05.6	and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations.
0:10.3	I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose
0:16.2	because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated.
0:22.0	I used to believe that you meet someone, eyes lock from across the room and your hair
0:29.8	stand up in the back of your neck and you realize that this is the one, right?
0:35.0	And also when I got married back when I was 29 a version of this happened.
0:41.0	My family and I had a restaurant bar in Hollywood,
0:46.0	and my ex-wife walked in and she was like as well okay I wasn't some creepy 40 year old dude I was a

2:12.3	I think the one is the one who's in front of you who you're choosing to love and this is a choice and I think it's important that you choose this if you want to build something sustainable because here's the thing if you believe in the one, if you believe that someone got away, if you believe that there is someone
2:37.0	better or, you know, someone that you're meant to be with and this person is not the person you're loving now, right?
2:47.0	Then you're not going to be present in your relationship.
2:50.0	I mean there's no way you're not going to be thinking about where this person is you know and
