you know, unpacking.

Oh my God.

That was so cool.

And I also think there's probably a lot of history prior to this response to her dad.

Like.

You know, there probably were times where like it was like, you know what, I will make you happy or I will do this.

I will sacrifice myself for X. But like there comes a point where this is your life and like the people in your life that love you should value your decisions in life.

The people that you love, they should respect you.

And it shouldn't be conditional.

And so many people, I think, unfortunately, it's extremely relatable to grow up in a household where love is conditional.

Even when you don't even realize it.

And it's like, well, you chose to have me.

So why do I owe you anything?

And I don't think that that's like rude.

I think there's a loving way to be like, hey, you should be proud of who I am.

I speak up for myself.

I respect myself.

I love myself.

And these are the things I want in life.

And it's so scary for people to navigate that.
