Top Episodes Quotes
- “But those tantrums were so good for me to let it just out. I had to let it out. And I still have them. They less and less. I still have, you know, the days where I'm like, why? Or now my biggest thing is I want to date, but I don't even know where to start. Or am I. Am I emotionally available? I think I am a little bit more now, but am I. Do I want that? Am I attractive to that safe guy?“ by Carla Wilmaris
