But I, I use it a lot. Because what you hold on to is what you become. So if you hold on to a shit relationship, you can't get a relationship that's happy for you because you're stuck in a shit relationship. But if your past relationship was happy and positive, then now you've set your internal radio for something positive." "If you need to make it more intense, more vulgar. You feel free. Okay?" "In all the ways that my body or that motherfucker tried to kill me, it's safe to let it go."
