Transcript

00:00Is your lover enfeebling you,

00:03enslaving you or empowering you?

00:06Ask yourself. Somebody who limits you,

00:09cages you, mostly in the name of care,

00:12cannot be your friend, let alone lover.

00:15Somebody who allows you to comfortably

00:18exist with your weaknesses, cannot be

00:21a worthy lover. Somebody who doesn't

00:24challenge your falsenesses, cannot be your lover.

00:27Somebody who says, oh I love you as you are,

00:30just cannot be your lover. Run away.

00:33Your lover has to be somebody who keeps

00:36refusing you 40 times a day.

00:39Because you deserve to be refused, don't you?

00:41What do you think of yourself?

00:43Don't we deserve to be corrected again and again?

00:46Don't we deserve to be shown the light again and again?

00:52I like you as you are, dull, gloomy,

00:55ignorant?
