16
00:01:03,117 --> 00:01:08,717
We're going to get into a little bit of life after divorce, right?
17
00:01:11,357 --> 00:01:16,497
You know, I'm still struggling with that. I don't think that I'm fully out of
18
00:01:16,497 --> 00:01:18,777
life after the divorce. wars.
19
00:01:19,377 --> 00:01:24,237
I mean, I'm living life like trying to,
20
00:01:25,965 --> 00:01:29,285
Figure it all out, right? You know, because life changes so much,
21
00:01:29,285 --> 00:01:31,585
man, when you go through something like this.
22
00:01:32,125 --> 00:01:39,405
And it's like, you know, I remember when I first, we first split, separated.
23
00:01:39,565 --> 00:01:45,485
I actually separated and not being in the same house and how difficult it was
24
00:01:45,485 --> 00:01:49,685
for me to try to navigate the waters because I've never been,
25
00:01:49,885 --> 00:01:55,305
you know, I told you guys before, I've never been like on my own.
26
00:01:55,305 --> 00:02:00,205
So, you know, it was tough. It was tough.
27
00:02:01,665 --> 00:02:08,825
And I'm trying to navigate the waters even now, because it's not easy, you know.
28
00:02:10,085 --> 00:02:16,005
Some folks have found a lot of success navigating life after divorce.
29
00:02:16,965 --> 00:02:22,325
And I think, I mean, I think I'm getting there. I mean, I'm doing a lot of work, you know, working.
30
00:02:24,325 --> 00:02:27,385
And just doing what I need to do to survive you know
31
00:02:27,385 --> 00:02:34,485
I think in this in this in this season of my life my life after my divorce I
32
00:02:34,485 --> 00:02:39,105
think I'm getting and I'm getting off pissing my ex off you know Sam because
33
00:02:39,105 --> 00:02:45,705
she had a whole plan of how she was gonna do this and I just work in her favor,
34
00:02:46,505 --> 00:02:51,165
and you took advantage of the situation because I was in a dark place and I
35
00:02:51,165 --> 00:02:53,685
couldn't I really they couldn't make decisions because I was emotionally,
36
00:02:53,745 --> 00:02:55,785
you know, jacked out, you know.
37
00:02:56,785 --> 00:03:02,185
And so now that I've kind of woken up and I, okay, I can't let you do this to
38
00:03:02,185 --> 00:03:04,005
me. You know, I get it. You're upset.
39
00:03:04,345 --> 00:03:06,525
You know, here's the thing I understand.
40
00:03:07,045 --> 00:03:08,925
All right. I want everybody to understand this.
41
00:03:10,689 --> 00:03:18,329
There are, you know, there is not just one person in a situation to make something be over, right?
42
00:03:19,169 --> 00:03:24,389
Like, it's, you know, everything that happened with us just wasn't my fault.
43
00:03:24,489 --> 00:03:29,849
I mean, it just wasn't me. I mean, it was me, but it just wasn't me.
44
00:03:29,889 --> 00:03:32,009
I want you guys to catch that. I wasn't the only one.
45
00:03:32,589 --> 00:03:35,829
You know, there were things that, you know, she did.
46
00:03:38,229 --> 00:03:44,709
There were things that I did. And the culmination of the two is what ended the marriage.
47
00:03:44,809 --> 00:03:48,569
But however, she has decided that
48
00:03:48,569 --> 00:03:51,009
I'm the bad guy. I ain't going to tell everybody that I'm the bad guy.
49
00:03:51,549 --> 00:03:55,369
And I was the problem and all that good stuff. So if you're listening to this,
50
00:03:55,489 --> 00:03:58,629
check where you are in the situation, right?
51
00:03:59,489 --> 00:04:02,409
If you're the bad guy, you're the bad guy. You're going to be the bad guy in
52
00:04:02,409 --> 00:04:07,049
somebody's story anyway. So it don't matter. Stand on it. You know what I mean?
53
00:04:09,209 --> 00:04:13,909
Everything isn't going to be peaches and cream and it's not going to be rosy, right?
54
00:04:14,029 --> 00:04:19,869
Because people are just people and they're not going to, you know,
55
00:04:19,889 --> 00:04:25,049
they're not going to tell their bad side because it makes them look crazy to people, you know?
56
00:04:25,509 --> 00:04:30,409
It's like, I'm sure that my wife is not going to go and tell everybody,
57
00:04:30,649 --> 00:04:35,529
well, yeah, you know, I did some stuff too and, you know, and that's what it
58
00:04:35,529 --> 00:04:37,909
takes for somebody to do that they have to be honest,
59
00:04:39,883 --> 00:04:43,243
They have to be honest. Somebody has to say, yeah, I did that.
60
00:04:44,043 --> 00:04:50,183
You know, I stand on most people. Some people stand on business. Others don't.
61
00:04:50,623 --> 00:04:54,703
Because they spend their life trying to make everybody else look bad.
62
00:04:54,883 --> 00:05:02,403
You know, that's life. Things happen, right?
63
00:05:02,683 --> 00:05:08,263
And so I'm still struggling with that. You know, and then on the other end of
64
00:05:08,263 --> 00:05:10,743
it, you know, you're trying to move on. do you date?
65
00:05:11,323 --> 00:05:19,663
How long is it after your divorce do you start to take in love interest?
66
00:05:22,523 --> 00:05:24,583
I mean, the.
67
00:05:27,943 --> 00:05:32,603
Logic here is that you don't. A lot of people say, oh, don't date.
68
00:05:32,703 --> 00:05:37,003
Nobody else does. Because the old adage when you break up with somebody or you
69
00:05:37,003 --> 00:05:43,423
divorce them, and they always say, if you can't get under one no the best way
70
00:05:43,423 --> 00:05:46,843
to get over somebody is to get under somebody else,
71
00:05:48,603 --> 00:05:53,883
I know you're laughing because it still chuckles it still makes me chuckle to
72
00:05:53,883 --> 00:05:59,603
this day it just does because I used to do that when I was younger,
73
00:06:00,623 --> 00:06:07,683
that was my thing that was my go to I would break up with somebody or she broke
74
00:06:07,683 --> 00:06:10,243
up with me It's like, I'm going to go find,
75
00:06:10,383 --> 00:06:16,403
you know, the next one and get up under, you know, her or on top of,
76
00:06:16,443 --> 00:06:18,563
however you guys choose. I'm not a power bottom.
77
00:06:21,303 --> 00:06:24,543
I'm sorry. That was a bad reference. Okay. But anyhow. Yeah.
78
00:06:29,053 --> 00:06:33,433
I used to do that. I used to be that guy that was, I'm just going to go ahead and get up under.
79
00:06:33,653 --> 00:06:38,753
But what I find in my, you know, my older age, I'm a, I'm a man of a certain age now.
80
00:06:39,813 --> 00:06:45,193
Um, that don't work. And I think the reason why it doesn't work is because,
81
00:06:45,913 --> 00:06:50,473
um, I actually love the person that I was with, you know,
82
00:06:51,733 --> 00:06:56,013
and I'm not saying that people, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not saying that people don't, you know,
83
00:06:57,633 --> 00:07:01,433
I'm not saying that people don't love one another I mean but here's the thing
84
00:07:01,433 --> 00:07:08,533
and this has always been my issue this is kind of a rambling episode but here's the thing I,
85
00:07:10,413 --> 00:07:16,913
think my personal opinion is if you really love somebody while you're with them,
86
00:07:18,113 --> 00:07:20,753
you know I get the whole you know
87
00:07:20,753 --> 00:07:24,253
they say about women you know once they're done they're done she probably checked
88
00:07:24,253 --> 00:07:28,993
out months ago and she probably did right but even even in this even in that
89
00:07:28,993 --> 00:07:35,373
case if you love somebody like for real and you've been in that like for real
90
00:07:35,373 --> 00:07:38,853
you went through the struggle you went through yeah all of that,
91
00:07:40,613 --> 00:07:48,733
do you feel guilty about dating someone else soon after i have a feeling i mean
92
00:07:48,733 --> 00:07:55,053
i and everything Anything that I will say will probably be purely speculation, but...
93
00:07:58,545 --> 00:08:04,125
So I think my wife was dating someone the day she announced to me she wanted a divorce.
94
00:08:04,605 --> 00:08:07,685
You know what I'm saying? That's just, again, pure speculation.
95
00:08:08,025 --> 00:08:09,925
I say that she was, don't know.
96
00:08:10,845 --> 00:08:14,265
But there were some instances that happened after. Let me know that there was
97
00:08:14,265 --> 00:08:16,885
someone she was at least talking to. And that's one.
98
00:08:17,045 --> 00:08:21,605
She had at least two in the chamber.
99
00:08:23,405 --> 00:08:27,345
So it may not have been a full-fledged dating situation. It might have been
100
00:08:27,345 --> 00:08:28,085
a full-fledged boyfriend.
101
00:08:28,545 --> 00:08:30,725
A boyfriend and girlfriend type situation, but I can guarantee you,
102
00:08:30,725 --> 00:08:33,265
she had at least two in the chamber. And that's okay.
103
00:08:34,285 --> 00:08:36,785
Because like people say, she checked out a long time ago.
104
00:08:37,885 --> 00:08:40,485
But women, I have to ask this question.
105
00:08:42,025 --> 00:08:46,885
And if you listen to this and then you're a woman, feel free to hit me up,
106
00:08:46,965 --> 00:08:50,925
email me, hit me up on Facebook, knuckleheadchroniclespodcast,
107
00:08:51,405 --> 00:08:53,645
at gmail.com if you want to answer
108
00:08:53,645 --> 00:08:56,145
via email or if you want to hit me on Facebook. But here's my question.
109
00:08:57,345 --> 00:09:02,485
When you check out if you have checked out of your marriage or your situation
110
00:09:02,485 --> 00:09:09,625
or whatever why don't you leave why don't you leave why is it you stick around,
111
00:09:11,105 --> 00:09:18,245
and then play this charade for another year I'm,
112
00:09:19,905 --> 00:09:23,205
confused at that because that's what happened that's what I think was happening
113
00:09:23,205 --> 00:09:30,765
with me is that she checked out Now, last year, I think she checked out when
114
00:09:30,765 --> 00:09:33,425
she went to go see her dad. You know what I'm saying? I think she checked out then.
115
00:09:35,806 --> 00:09:38,866
Why put up this charade for another year? Why?
116
00:09:40,986 --> 00:09:46,026
Because, you know, she didn't try to work on anything. We didn't go to any kind
117
00:09:46,026 --> 00:09:48,106
of counseling or any kind of therapy or nothing.
118
00:09:49,666 --> 00:09:51,126
You know, I don't understand why.
119
00:09:52,986 --> 00:09:57,866
You know, why put up this charade? If you're done, leave. Fell the same way.
120
00:09:58,386 --> 00:10:00,626
No, and I'm not just getting on the ladies. Fell the same way.
121
00:10:01,006 --> 00:10:05,486
If you have checked out, if you have said, I'm done.
122
00:10:06,246 --> 00:10:13,086
You know whatever leave don't don't waste that woman's life any more than you already have leave,
123
00:10:14,226 --> 00:10:19,446
but the thing of it is me and sometimes some of us are silly gooses and we feel
124
00:10:19,446 --> 00:10:26,166
like we can just do whatever we want and you know there's no repercussions i'm
125
00:10:26,166 --> 00:10:29,806
telling you fellas that's It's repercussions behind everything that you do.
126
00:10:32,266 --> 00:10:36,446
So here I am, divorced. Enough.
127
00:10:36,546 --> 00:10:41,706
I mean, we got some stuff to work out as far as visitation and financial support and all that jazz.
128
00:10:41,806 --> 00:10:44,706
But I'm going to court for that because you're not going to rape me.
129
00:10:47,146 --> 00:10:50,606
I'm not going to let you rape me. If anybody's going to rape me,
130
00:10:50,626 --> 00:10:54,826
it will be the courts of Missouri, the courts of Boone County, Missouri.
131
00:10:55,226 --> 00:10:57,226
That's who's going to rape me. It won't be you. I can promise.
132
00:10:59,806 --> 00:11:03,786
Anyways, so here I am, you know, divorced, looking crazy.
133
00:11:04,326 --> 00:11:11,186
I guess I'm single, ready to mingle, I guess. And I'm going, I don't want to do this.
134
00:11:12,306 --> 00:11:15,266
All I do is, you know, I've done this.
135
00:11:16,646 --> 00:11:21,786
And I just am exasperated. Like, I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to date.
136
00:11:22,026 --> 00:11:25,546
I don't want to have to jump through hoops. I don't want to have to,
137
00:11:25,566 --> 00:11:27,426
you know, I just don't want to.
138
00:11:29,466 --> 00:11:35,786
So here's the the question that is left is that do you date do I date,
139
00:11:36,906 --> 00:11:42,346
do you move on and if you do how long does it take you to move on how long does
140
00:11:42,346 --> 00:11:43,526
it take you to say you know what,
141
00:11:44,526 --> 00:11:50,346
I'm going to go ahead and date shorty out I think going out on dates isn't a
142
00:11:50,346 --> 00:11:52,546
bad thing right I don't think it's,
143
00:11:53,506 --> 00:11:56,846
detrimental to your health if you take somebody else out after the divorce or
144
00:11:56,846 --> 00:12:03,226
whatever But, you know, I'm talking about full-fledged, that's my girl,
145
00:12:03,386 --> 00:12:06,226
I'm her man type situation.
146
00:12:06,486 --> 00:12:08,646
That's what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about going out on dates,
147
00:12:08,746 --> 00:12:11,886
you know, and having dinner and things like that. I'm not saying that.
148
00:12:11,946 --> 00:12:16,606
I'm saying in a full-fledged relationships, do you do that after a divorce?
149
00:12:16,746 --> 00:12:18,226
And if you do, how long does it take you?
150
00:12:19,786 --> 00:12:22,126
So that's my question I'm going to pose to my listening audience.
151
00:12:22,126 --> 00:12:27,366
Now, I'm going to answer it, you know, for me, because it's me.
152
00:12:29,333 --> 00:12:31,273
For me, I'm scared.
153
00:12:33,533 --> 00:12:38,733
I'm scared of dating someone after my divorce.
154
00:12:39,293 --> 00:12:43,313
I'm afraid of it because one thing I don't want to go through,
155
00:12:43,453 --> 00:12:47,273
one thing that I don't want to have to go through again is the rejection.
156
00:12:48,273 --> 00:12:49,013
You know what I'm saying?
157
00:12:50,913 --> 00:12:57,613
Because when I say I put my best foot forward with my ex-wife, I did. I tried to anyway.
158
00:12:59,333 --> 00:13:04,153
Did everything I was supposed to do. Yeah, I made bad choices. Nobody's perfect.
159
00:13:04,433 --> 00:13:08,493
I made bad choices. That's not justification to say, yeah, I made bad choices.
160
00:13:08,653 --> 00:13:11,813
Nobody's perfect. That's not justification. But it's just what it is.
161
00:13:12,593 --> 00:13:20,133
I made bad choices and all that. But I did everything that I think that I could have done.
162
00:13:21,733 --> 00:13:26,413
If we was in financial straits, I tried to work 16 hours, whatever,
163
00:13:26,413 --> 00:13:29,333
to make that money so we can get back on even Q.
164
00:13:30,973 --> 00:13:32,033
I did everything I could.
165
00:13:33,753 --> 00:13:37,553
Right? So yeah, I'm afraid.
166
00:13:37,953 --> 00:13:42,113
Personally, just so anyone who wants to shoot that shot at me.
167
00:13:44,233 --> 00:13:47,333
Who's ever watching this, you want to shoot that shot at me,
168
00:13:47,373 --> 00:13:48,193
just know that I'm scared.
169
00:13:48,393 --> 00:13:53,213
I'm petrified of it because I don't want the rejection.
170
00:13:54,573 --> 00:13:58,813
I know life is life and people are going to reject you. Now not everybody is
171
00:13:58,813 --> 00:14:00,693
going to accept you. Right?
172
00:14:02,633 --> 00:14:09,873
But I'm just afraid of the rejection. I'm afraid, you know, I think as a guy,
173
00:14:09,913 --> 00:14:13,533
I think I'm still chivalrous, right? I still open doors and things of that nature.
174
00:14:15,693 --> 00:14:19,113
But I don't want to always have to show that side. I don't want to be chivalrous
175
00:14:19,113 --> 00:14:21,953
all the time. I don't want to be lazy all the time.
176
00:14:26,193 --> 00:14:29,353
Life for me life for me after my divorce is like,
177
00:14:31,493 --> 00:14:36,653
I know what I'm doing but then I don't you know it's like.
178
00:14:38,693 --> 00:14:42,633
I don't want to put up I don't want to put up some kind of crazy facade that,
179
00:14:44,433 --> 00:14:48,693
I'm all you know I'm all you know I'm ironclad tough over here,
180
00:14:49,333 --> 00:14:56,393
that ain't how it is that is not what it is for me and I'm still navigating
181
00:14:56,393 --> 00:15:02,753
my life after my divorce I have friends that support me and,
182
00:15:03,873 --> 00:15:06,233
carry me and you know,
183
00:15:07,653 --> 00:15:12,153
putting budgets together for me and stuff and you know trying to make sure that
184
00:15:12,153 --> 00:15:15,113
I'm straight and letting up my feet because you know.
185
00:15:17,073 --> 00:15:22,593
All that but But on my way out, right, I want to say this.
186
00:15:23,333 --> 00:15:29,113
And I saw this post on Facebook. I thought it was tremendous, right?
187
00:15:30,493 --> 00:15:40,513
And it said, don't make any kind of, don't react to certain situations.
188
00:15:41,993 --> 00:15:45,893
Don't react. Don't move. When somebody says something stupid and you see it
189
00:15:45,893 --> 00:15:48,713
or you hear it or whatever, don't react.
190
00:15:50,233 --> 00:15:55,393
Because God saw it too. So, the battle is not yours.
191
00:15:55,973 --> 00:15:58,893
You know, that's what I got out of that. The battle is not yours.
192
00:16:00,353 --> 00:16:04,913
So, even when people have something to say, even when people,
193
00:16:05,433 --> 00:16:09,253
you know, throw dirt, drag your name, you know, whatever.
194
00:16:11,633 --> 00:16:15,853
Don't react to it. I'm learning that. That's the season that I'm in.
195
00:16:16,553 --> 00:16:22,133
Is that, that in my life after my divorce, the life after my divorce is that
196
00:16:22,133 --> 00:16:26,013
I'm in this season of learning how to let people just talk.
197
00:16:26,893 --> 00:16:29,773
You're going to say whatever you're going to say about me. I don't care.
198
00:16:30,113 --> 00:16:34,693
You know, if anybody's listening to this podcast, there are friends of hers.
199
00:16:35,833 --> 00:16:41,193
Tell her what you're going to do. You know, it's like, it's like, you know,
200
00:16:43,233 --> 00:16:47,553
Hulk Hogan back in the day. What you going to do? You know, what are you going to do?
201
00:16:47,613 --> 00:16:52,513
I mean, we both hurt, you know, we both hurt each other. That's the key there.
202
00:16:53,093 --> 00:16:58,973
If two people that are divorcing could just simply have a conversation and say,
203
00:16:59,053 --> 00:17:01,013
hey, you know, you hurt me, I hurt you.
204
00:17:03,002 --> 00:17:05,622
There were situations that I didn't like, situations that you didn't like,
205
00:17:05,762 --> 00:17:09,882
you know, and you decided to go a separate way. And that's cool.
206
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:16,182
Let's have an amicable split. No, you want to go tell everybody I want Jack. No, it's not.
207
00:17:17,362 --> 00:17:21,702
But I'm in this season in my life after my divorce. I'm in this season where
208
00:17:21,702 --> 00:17:24,482
I just don't care anymore, you know.
209
00:17:25,202 --> 00:17:29,742
And that used to bug me. I mean, and I used to sit on here and I even took my
210
00:17:29,742 --> 00:17:34,202
Facebook private because I just didn't want to see, I just didn't want to see
211
00:17:34,202 --> 00:17:35,982
or have people's opinions about me.
212
00:17:37,882 --> 00:17:42,282
I'm going to put that bad boy up there in public today because I don't care. Because I don't care.
213
00:17:42,622 --> 00:17:49,482
My thing is, I have, you know, I have a life to live just like she does.
214
00:17:49,902 --> 00:17:51,782
You know, I don't sit here, I don't bash her.
215
00:17:52,342 --> 00:17:58,262
You know, that's the thing, right? there's a high road that we all must take at some point.
216
00:17:58,522 --> 00:18:01,142
I mean, you don't have to take, some people don't take the high road.
217
00:18:01,822 --> 00:18:05,702
Like Deion Sanders said a couple months back on a couple of years ago,
218
00:18:05,822 --> 00:18:12,922
he told Tony Romo, I want to take the high road here, Tony, but I lost the address.
219
00:18:13,262 --> 00:18:17,462
And some people lose the address to the high road. So I'm trying to take the
220
00:18:17,462 --> 00:18:18,842
high road. And sometimes it's hard.
221
00:18:20,542 --> 00:18:26,022
But in this life, after my divorce, trying to make sense of myself of my life
222
00:18:26,022 --> 00:18:31,022
trying to put it back together trying to you know be a good father to my son
223
00:18:31,022 --> 00:18:33,342
not burn myself out from work,
224
00:18:34,142 --> 00:18:38,502
it's a lot that I got going on you know emotionally you know,
225
00:18:39,702 --> 00:18:48,142
excuse me but I believe that eventually one day it's gonna all subside things are gonna be good,
226
00:18:49,442 --> 00:18:56,942
I'm gonna be able to I'm gonna be able to be able to to better manage my life after this divorce.
227
00:18:57,222 --> 00:19:01,522
Because this divorce took me, and like I said before, you guys have been listening
228
00:19:01,522 --> 00:19:03,262
before, this is my third one.
229
00:19:04,382 --> 00:19:08,102
This one though, took me for a whole loop out here.
230
00:19:08,422 --> 00:19:12,562
I ain't never experienced nothing like this. This is something different totally.
231
00:19:14,202 --> 00:19:20,782
But if you're listening to this and you are in your second season and you're
232
00:19:20,782 --> 00:19:22,482
living your life after your divorce.
233
00:19:22,742 --> 00:19:25,982
There's a few things you're going to know real quick before I head out.
234
00:19:27,912 --> 00:19:33,172
It hurts. Allow yourself to feel it. Right?
235
00:19:34,412 --> 00:19:40,192
Allow yourself to feel it. Every emotion. Allow it. But this is what I learned in my situation.
236
00:19:40,692 --> 00:19:43,372
With mine. Is that it's okay.
237
00:19:44,672 --> 00:19:47,952
To cry about it. It's okay to feel a way about it. It's okay to be angry.
238
00:19:48,112 --> 00:19:50,012
It's okay to feel all of that. It's okay.
239
00:19:51,732 --> 00:19:55,812
But what we can't do is stay there. We cannot.
240
00:19:55,812 --> 00:20:01,152
We absolutely cannot stay there because those negative vibes,
241
00:20:01,372 --> 00:20:04,292
those negative energies, those bad feelings, those ill will,
242
00:20:04,472 --> 00:20:07,672
all of that will eat away at you.
243
00:20:08,892 --> 00:20:16,372
And the funny thing about it eating away at you is that it eats away at you from the inside.
244
00:20:18,292 --> 00:20:21,092
From the inside out. It works its way to the outside.
245
00:20:21,092 --> 00:20:24,352
Because if you hate because if you're holding judgment i
246
00:20:24,352 --> 00:20:27,412
mean you're yelling grudges and you're mad and
247
00:20:27,412 --> 00:20:30,472
you know it eats away at anything positive on
248
00:20:30,472 --> 00:20:33,592
the inside and then all it's going to do is just
249
00:20:33,592 --> 00:20:38,212
work his way out and then just start looking ugly to people and people don't
250
00:20:38,212 --> 00:20:44,732
want like oh he or she way looks sick what's wrong with them you know it's okay
251
00:20:44,732 --> 00:20:48,612
to feel that way it's okay to hurt because the voices aren't the voices aren't
252
00:20:48,612 --> 00:20:52,572
you know pillowy they're not um,
253
00:20:53,612 --> 00:21:02,532
the night ice cream sundaes you know they're they hurt and um mine tore me up
254
00:21:02,532 --> 00:21:05,612
i'm still tore up don't don't let it don't get it twisted don't think that i'm
255
00:21:05,612 --> 00:21:10,152
over here healed because i ain't right but uh.
256
00:21:12,788 --> 00:21:15,748
You have to take it one day at a time. I mean, that's an episode I did a couple
257
00:21:15,748 --> 00:21:19,708
days ago, last week. One day at a time.
258
00:21:21,688 --> 00:21:24,768
You know, you love them, let them go.
259
00:21:25,668 --> 00:21:29,228
You know, they didn't want to be there in the first place, probably.
260
00:21:29,608 --> 00:21:32,648
I know mine didn't. He knows how to say that.
261
00:21:34,368 --> 00:21:40,388
Move on. Try to find a firm grip on this life.
262
00:21:42,008 --> 00:21:48,308
And move on. Love is out there. He or she is going to find you.
263
00:21:49,468 --> 00:21:55,408
I hope I find mine, you know, one day. Somebody who wants to be in my life, who wants to be there.
264
00:21:58,448 --> 00:22:01,788
We're going to get through it together. I promise. Hey, reach out to me.
