Hey, hey, hey, everyone. I hope everyone is good. I hope everyone is great.

Hope you in good spirits. Hope you are ready for the weekend.

I don't have much plan for the weekend, but I know I'm going to just release, relax, and I don't know, catch up on some things that I've been wanting to do.

I think that it's very important because, you know, not having love within self means that you are having expectations onto others about how they need to show up in your life

when you don't even have these regulations and policies and moral capabilities for yourself, right?

I think it's very costly when we enter into relationships expecting that they are to fulfill a void that we may have

previously. You know, I love to give examples. So for example, and this happens very often, but leaving a relationship, you've been in a relationship

for a while and you've conjured up feelings. You have memories of events, things that you,
