Transcript

00:00Is your lover enfeebling you, enslaving you or empowering you?

00:05Ask yourself.

00:06Somebody who limits you, cages you, mostly in the name of care,

00:09cannot be your friend, let alone lover.

00:11Somebody who allows you to comfortably exist with your weaknesses,

00:15cannot be a worthy lover.

00:16Somebody who doesn't challenge your falsenesses,

00:19cannot be your lover.

00:20Somebody who says, oh I love you as you are,

00:22just cannot be your lover.

00:24Run away.

00:24Your lover has to be somebody who keeps refusing you 40 times a day.

00:29Because you deserve to be refused, don't you?

00:31What do you think of yourself?

00:32What do I think of myself?

00:33It's not about you versus me.

00:35We all are like that.

00:36Don't we deserve to be corrected again and again?

00:39Don't we deserve to be shown the light again and again?

00:42How can you be with someone who says, no, I like you as you are.

00:46Dull, gloomy, ignorant.
