Transcript excerpt

For those of you dating, you are picking the person who's going to be with you on the worst day of your life, the day you have to bury a parent, the day your dog of fourteen years doesn't get to come home from the vet, The day the doctor calls you with bad news, and somehow people are still dating as if they are casting a movie role. Oh, do they give me butterflies? Are they exciting? Are they tall enough? Cool. Life's not gonna care if they were tall enough when it punches you in the fucking mouth. And when that day comes, you're not going to give a shit if they said the right thing at the right time or if they were six three or taller. You're going to care if they showed up. You're gonna care if they stood by your bedside and handled everything when you are disintegrating from the inside out. The older I get, the more I'm starting to realize that I care less about if I wanna spend this Saturday night with this worse. And I care more about if this person is willing to show up for me when my life fucking falls apart. Because inevitably, bad shit's gonna happen. And who is standing by your side at the end of the day is truly what matters. I love y'all. Peace.
