And I poured my heart into these relationships and they didn't work out.

And

You know, it was really disappointing, but I don't want to let that like define me as who I am.

You know, I'm pretty resilient.

I've been really hurt, but I don't like to focus on that.

And I want to look for something new and something fresh.

And I wanted to heal.

Yes.

And, you know, that's what I think about, too, is a lot of times I was taking like those past relationships and I was projecting them onto him.

You know, there's so many things watching it back and the things that I was saying.

And I was like, that had nothing to do with him.

That was like my past, like coming back to get me and, you know, insecurities about that sort of thing.

So, you know, he was the first one that really listened to me.

And we talked a lot.

I mean, he knows more about me than anyone else.

Even some of my girlfriends, you know, and the things that we talked about.

And that was just really important in us getting close and having intimacy on an emotional level.

We sure are.

Yeah.

We had a little we had a little bump in the road.
