00:00When someone sees a person who is so bright,

00:03they want to get their little sticky fingers all over it,

00:06and they want it for themselves.

00:07They want to pick that flower,

00:09and they want to watch it wilt.

00:10I really don't want to wilt.

00:12I would like someone else to water my garden,

00:14and together we grow a great big willow tree,

00:17and we lay under it, and we read poetry to each other,

00:20and eat apple pie.

00:21So I was in Sweden with Tom Slinger, my long time producer.

00:32I was with Tuba Berman,

00:33I was with Elvira Anderfjord, and Luka Kloser,

00:37and we were just having a gorgeous week in Stockholm.

00:40I know Tom made this beat,

00:42and I was just really losing my mind.

00:44I had just gotten out of a little situationship.

00:47I was like, wow, what a waste of time.

00:49I could have spent all of that time learning a new hobby,

00:53and I was really reflecting back on the time waste of it.

00:56It felt like I needed to reconfigure

00:59my priorities a little bit.

01:00If I'm going to commit time to a person,

01:03they need to really be bringing

01:04something very special into my life.

01:06I think it's so funny to have a truck with big fucking wheels,

01:22and to step out of it with my pleasers on,

01:25and my little shorts that are flossing my butt,

01:27and my little tiny tank top, and saying,

01:30Hey, y'all. I look hot as fuck. I feel delicious.

01:35I look hot as fuck. Vocal fry like deadpan.

01:39What?

01:41Rhinestone belt. Quartz in the clutch.

01:45Cotton candy boots with the 7-11 slush like.

01:48Blue raspberry fruit roll-ups.

01:51Girl, I look what the fuck. Hades hot, yup.

01:55Call him hot Cheeto dust. I don't want crumbs. Got hobbies. No crush like.

02:01I am very passionate about hobbies, and I am not passionate about crumbs.

02:07I really don't want crumbs. Like, I'm giving so much, okay?

02:11I'm bringing so much to the table, and you're bringing crumbs? Is this a joke?

02:15The other day, I was out with the girls, and there was this hot person,

02:18and I was talking to them. I was like, oh my god, you're so boring.

02:22Then I went back over to my girls, and I was like, y'all are the funniest bitches I've ever met in my life.

02:26Having you here, in front of this person, babe, please. These are crumbs.

02:33I don't want no crumbs.

02:37Nutcracker, I'm Tchaikovsky.

02:40No hot Cheeto dust.

02:43Wipe my hands. Ugh, get off me.

02:46Hot Cheeto dust is very visual. It gets on your hands,

02:49and creates a little red film. You just can't get it off.

02:55So I'm imagining this tiny little man, and he's looking up at me,

03:00and I got my big fucking heels on, and I'm like, what?

03:04And he's got his little hot Cheeto dust hands, and he's rubbing them on me.

03:08And I'm like, ugh, I'm kicking him off. I'm like, get off!

03:19Love should be about someone wanting to build a partnership with you, someone wanting to make

03:29your life a softer, kinder place. Someone who really actively wants to make your life easier,

03:36and vice versa. I want to do that for someone else. But I've been in situations where I really had a

03:41little conversation with myself. What is this person doing for me that I can't easily do for

03:47myself? Like, what are they bringing? Really and truly, what are they bringing? Is the sex that good?

03:52No.

03:53You see me, and you see heaven. You're my personal hell.

03:59Anticlimactic, get your sticky fingers off me boy.

04:03My personal hell in a relationship is playing mother, maid, wife, therapist,

04:16fuck doll. Like, I'm like, get me out of here.

04:22Thigh high, boots to the puss. I don't want a city boy who's scared of the bush.

04:31Worship my foot. Illiterate. I think he's never read a book. If you are scared of the bush,

04:39grow the fuck up. Like, put your hiking boots on. There's a trail. Make your way to the waterfall,

04:46okay? Grow the fuck up. Set scene. Fog up the screen. Showgirl. Bronco. High beams. How sweet.

04:56You want to be a team? Ashniko Ketchum. Boyfriend trinkets. How sweet of you to think that we could

05:04be a team. Like, oh, that's so cute. Like, pat on head. That's really sweet, honey. How you want to be

05:11a team with me. Bad news. I'm Ashniko Ketchum. Boyfriend trinkets. I got my little boyfriend

05:16trinkets right now. Okay. My little little boo-boos hanging off my bag. Bad news. We're not a team,

05:21babe. I remember when I wrote, thigh high boots to the puss. I don't want a city boy who's scared

05:28of the bush. It felt like lightning struck down from the sky straight into my brain. And the goddess

05:33said, this is it, babe. This is it. You've been chosen. This is my message. Take this message to the

05:42people. Yeah. It felt like that.
