How are you.
9
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:06.480
Chilling?
10
00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:08.199
You're chilling? You're good?
11
00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:09.759
Yeah? I had a cat?
12
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.599
Yeah yeah, I saw it off off line. That's how
13
00:02:13.639 --> 00:02:17.520
the catch is fucking with chie. How is your week?
14
00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:23.039
Uh, it's TOMP day, but it feels like it's been
15
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.759
over over weeks already, So.
16
00:02:27.400 --> 00:02:31.680
Okay, all right, yeah that's cool.
17
00:02:31.759 --> 00:02:41.039
So just to you know, let everybody know, this week's
18
00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:49.680
primary topic is finding love after forty? Is it a
19
00:02:49.719 --> 00:02:53.879
lost cause or a new beginning for some for most?
20
00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:55.680
Whatever the case may be, how it is you want
21
00:02:55.680 --> 00:03:03.080
to look at it? And I mean, what happens after
22
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:07.319
after forty? You know what I mean? What are the
23
00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.719
changes that people go through at that point in their lives?
24
00:03:10.840 --> 00:03:11.439
What do you think?
25
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:16.560
I thank a lot, I mean, but it really depends
26
00:03:16.719 --> 00:03:20.039
on the person, because we all go through faces in
27
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:24.039
our life at different ages, you know, like, twenties is
28
00:03:24.080 --> 00:03:28.560
definitely different, very different than the thirties, thirties or different
29
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:33.719
than the forties, and you know, like our bodies are changing,
30
00:03:36.240 --> 00:03:40.080
the world around us is changing. So it's like all
31
00:03:40.120 --> 00:03:45.159
those things come into play with all of that. And
32
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.879
also the big thing, I think if he's in your
33
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:54.680
forties and you're and you still haven't like gone through
34
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.759
some type of therapy for your trauma or your like
35
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:03.840
issues whatever, like, if you're not working on that, then
36
00:04:04.759 --> 00:04:08.879
you know that's going to make it hard to be
37
00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:14.360
in a relationship or or like find love if you're
38
00:04:14.360 --> 00:04:17.600
not being real with yourself, right.
39
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.639
So that that take that brings me to the first
40
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:24.120
the first thing here, So actually knowing who you are
41
00:04:24.519 --> 00:04:28.319
is important. That's That's pretty much that's the gist of it,
42
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:35.079
because in your twenties, love is often about finding yourself
43
00:04:35.720 --> 00:04:42.720
through someone else. Right by your by your forties, you've
44
00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:46.480
already done You've already done the work. You know your values,
45
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:50.160
your boundaries, and what kind of energy you want and
46
00:04:50.199 --> 00:04:51.319
what you won't tolerate.
47
00:04:52.639 --> 00:04:55.439
You should anyway, right, you at least.
48
00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:00.560
That you should at least do that. So I think
49
00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:07.720
the bottom line of that is you're not chasing completion.
50
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:13.360
You're looking more for connection, you know, because I think
51
00:05:13.480 --> 00:05:18.399
if you if you're looking to complete yourself, you're you're
52
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.800
already you're already fucking your you're fucking your ship up.
53
00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.920
Because I think personally, you should be looking to build connections,
54
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.879
not finding someone to complete you. You should already be
55
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:35.040
not complete, but you should already be at a point
56
00:05:35.079 --> 00:05:42.560
in your life where experience and knowledge of self is vital,
57
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:43.839
you know what I mean?
58
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:49.959
Yeah, So I think like you just as a whole,
59
00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:56.319
like complete me. I think how I understanding feeling like
60
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:00.920
someone would complete me is like they're going missing puzzle
61
00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:08.120
peace to the like that I want. So like, I
62
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.360
don't think it has to be necessarily like they're going
63
00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:17.319
to take over parts of your life or weaknesses of
64
00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:23.319
yours or something like. It's more about like and it's
65
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.759
just different, Like it's different for everybody, right, What are
66
00:06:26.759 --> 00:06:29.639
you looking for? Are you looking for something because you're rolling?
67
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.120
Are you looking for something because you want a partnership,
68
00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.199
because you want a family, because you want uh, you know,
69
00:06:37.279 --> 00:06:39.600
a partner in crime, or you want to travel buddy,
70
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:45.920
Like it all falls in line. I feel like I
71
00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:47.680
can't read any comments so.
72
00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:53.040
I'll I'll put it up on the on the screen.
73
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:59.920
The yeah, like a Vieja coming up to the screen.
74
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:04.319
Learning self love and self worth was definitely a big
75
00:07:04.360 --> 00:07:07.680
step of my forties. Yes, it's unfortunate for a lot
76
00:07:07.720 --> 00:07:09.959
of people it takes to your forties. I don't feel
77
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:13.759
like it should take to your forties to recognize what
78
00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:18.680
your worst. But if we're talking about as jen xers,
79
00:07:19.240 --> 00:07:21.720
I feel like, yes, Unfortunately for a lot of us,
80
00:07:21.720 --> 00:07:25.360
it took this long because we for a lot of
81
00:07:25.439 --> 00:07:29.000
us only recently learned what trauma is and that we
82
00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:33.000
have been through it or have dealt with things that
83
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:38.680
we're not okay in the past, and just realizing that
84
00:07:38.839 --> 00:07:42.639
how that affects you as a person, how that affects
85
00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.600
the way you do things, how you trust people, if
86
00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:49.680
you're loyal, Like these are I think all things that
87
00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:57.839
stem from you your past, you know, and and I
88
00:07:57.879 --> 00:08:01.560
feel like people should and we've talked about this a
89
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.439
million times, like communicate those things. What are your expectations? Like,
90
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:12.480
I don't think it's wrong to point, like state your expectations.
91
00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:17.879
Maybe our expectations are crazy, who knows, But if that
92
00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:20.399
person is just like yeah, no, I can't do that.
93
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:25.160
I would rather know that because I would ideally want
94
00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.639
someone who could do those things.
95
00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:30.120
You know.
96
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:35.200
Yeah, but I think what I understand that we understand
97
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:40.039
what you're saying. I think also at at that age,
98
00:08:40.120 --> 00:08:40.960
at our age.
99
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.519
I can't say at our age, at our age, I
100
00:08:43.559 --> 00:08:43.960
don't want to.
101
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:48.039
I don't want to age you we're in I think
102
00:08:48.039 --> 00:08:51.559
we're in the same like you know, when it's like
103
00:08:51.679 --> 00:08:54.320
forty five to fifty four, like we're.
104
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.679
In that bracket now. Unfortunately we're hitting in that bracket
105
00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:04.159
the free pre a RP subscription age you know who
106
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:05.279
are right around there.
107
00:09:06.200 --> 00:09:10.720
Yeah, that's crazy, right, Yeah, And then I think it's
108
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:16.480
a lot you want less drama and more peace in
109
00:09:16.519 --> 00:09:17.480
your life.
110
00:09:17.720 --> 00:09:20.960
You know, at this stage more people who love drama,
111
00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:25.960
So I don't some people they have is drama in
112
00:09:26.000 --> 00:09:28.279
their lives. That's the problem.
113
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.080
I yes, it should, it should be less drama like
114
00:09:32.799 --> 00:09:37.399
as we say, grown being grown folk. But like for real,
115
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:41.159
like I think, yes, in your forties, by that time,
116
00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:46.120
you should know like what the hell you want? I'm
117
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:52.919
in that what the bracket? Yeah, yes, most chet exers
118
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:54.639
are in that bracket unfortunately.
119
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:57.960
I mean also a lot of the ship too, is
120
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:06.080
that you don't have the time andergy for games, ghosting, bullshit, confusion.
121
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.440
You want you want to know exactly where you are
122
00:10:10.399 --> 00:10:12.879
and and where you want to be at this point
123
00:10:13.399 --> 00:10:15.279
because they a lot of people, a lot of people
124
00:10:15.559 --> 00:10:18.519
seem to think that you need to have it all
125
00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:23.879
figured out at this age and that I agree, it's
126
00:10:23.960 --> 00:10:31.159
not true. You know, you you want to trade chaos
127
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:34.240
for clarity, you know what I mean? And to be
128
00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:38.000
honest with you, if you want to trade chaos for clarity,
129
00:10:38.759 --> 00:10:40.960
I think that's that's pretty dope, you know what I'm saying,
130
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.759
Because wanting clarity in your life and wanting to know
131
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.279
where you're headed at that point in time of your
132
00:10:48.279 --> 00:10:50.080
life is very important.
133
00:10:51.320 --> 00:10:52.879
Yeah, you know what I.
134
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:59.559
Mean, because it's it's not knowing I mean, at least
135
00:10:59.679 --> 00:11:06.519
not I'm gonna say it. Not knowing where you're headed
136
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:09.799
at this point is not is not really good.
137
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:15.600
Because well, in what way? Relationship wise? Okay? Because like
138
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.440
life wise, I feel like like career wise and other
139
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:22.799
things like that, that's that's ever changing and can be
140
00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:26.559
because of where we live. So we can have the
141
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:31.559
opportunity to continually like try to do different things career wise,
142
00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.240
or feel like, Okay, this is not what I want
143
00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.879
to be doing. And then there are people I've seen
144
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.759
that like finish their like bachelor's or something in their
145
00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:45.799
eighties like this, it doesn't matter. That doesn't matter, right,
146
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:51.080
But going into relationships when you're at this age, I agree,
147
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:56.120
like you kind of should know and be in a
148
00:11:56.159 --> 00:11:59.639
place where you can be distinct in what you're acting
149
00:11:59.799 --> 00:12:04.399
for or LifeWise, sometimes we have no control like those
150
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:11.639
so many curve balls. It does, and like I keep
151
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.879
seeing like this meme and it's not getting political or
152
00:12:14.919 --> 00:12:18.039
anything like that, but like it's not benefits and all
153
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:23.240
this stuff going around with it. You know, nobody like
154
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:28.519
wants to be on these benefits, Like it's not enough,
155
00:12:29.720 --> 00:12:31.919
like if you have a family, Like things happen to
156
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:35.480
people sometimes shit happens. And if we're going to be real,
157
00:12:35.559 --> 00:12:38.840
like people aren't getting paid enough because there are a
158
00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.480
lot of people working who qualify for food tifts and
159
00:12:41.559 --> 00:12:49.480
that says something like so it's like I just these
160
00:12:49.480 --> 00:12:54.360
things frustrate me. But like life changes so quickly. Sometimes
161
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.679
you can get into an accident, like an auto accident,
162
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.639
and you're like to change completely for all you know,
163
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:08.039
like you can work, and some peoples on you or
164
00:13:08.159 --> 00:13:11.000
you fall or you know what I'm saying, like or
165
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:16.120
like just so many things can happen, so like we
166
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:20.919
shouldn't judge people like when they're down on their luck
167
00:13:21.080 --> 00:13:26.879
or struggling, because no, not everyone can have it together
168
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:30.440
one hundred percent all the fucking time. Like not all
169
00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:35.799
of us were born into wealth and have mommy and
170
00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:40.120
daddy to come and bail us out every single time.
171
00:13:40.759 --> 00:13:42.320
A lot of people don't have.
172
00:13:42.200 --> 00:13:45.879
That right And like you said it, you said it earlier,
173
00:13:45.960 --> 00:13:50.480
like you know, the emotional the emotional baggage thing. I
174
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:53.600
think both. I think for both men and women. You know,
175
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:57.159
we carry scars, you know what I'm saying, Divorce, long
176
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:04.159
term breakups, heartbreak, betrayal and all that altogether. The history
177
00:14:04.200 --> 00:14:09.519
of all that shit, you know, really shapes how you
178
00:14:09.639 --> 00:14:13.240
love and how you trust, you know what I mean.
179
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:20.600
I think also for men, you know, we often struggle
180
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:23.799
to express our emotional wounds, you know, things that have
181
00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:28.639
hurt us. We're masking pain behind smiles and all this
182
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:32.279
other shit, you know. And and I can't I really
183
00:14:32.519 --> 00:14:36.159
can't speak much for women, but I think for for
184
00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:38.960
some women, they tend to be more aware of their
185
00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:44.159
emotional triggers, you know what I mean. And I think
186
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:53.519
it carries on and and shows itself and and in
187
00:14:54.039 --> 00:14:57.679
wanting to love but not trusting that love because of
188
00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:00.320
all the heartache and the hurt that they've suffer ridden
189
00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.440
the doors throughout their lives. So I think I think
190
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:08.200
it's I think the challenge is learning to unpack the baggage,
191
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:13.519
but not unload the baggage, you know what I mean. Yes,
192
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.120
being open about your past but not letting it define
193
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.279
your future and who you are. So that's a big
194
00:15:22.399 --> 00:15:23.159
that's a big thing.
195
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:27.600
Yes, And to hit on how you said, Okay, So
196
00:15:27.799 --> 00:15:32.080
like for men, there's a lot of men tend to
197
00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.960
shut down and keep to themselves and not saying anything
198
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:41.000
and just to be in their heads. And that is
199
00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:45.279
more of a cultural and societal thing that men are
200
00:15:45.519 --> 00:15:49.639
taught to do. That not to open up to someone,
201
00:15:49.720 --> 00:15:53.240
not to go to someone for help, because you're you're
202
00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.159
not going to burden someone with your problems. You're not
203
00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:01.200
going to burden someone with your sadness or whatever. And
204
00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:04.679
that's the mentality. This is what we're taught. And women
205
00:16:04.759 --> 00:16:07.960
too like to an extent, but women just tend to
206
00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:13.279
be more vocal and emotional creatures, and you know, like
207
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:19.039
a lot of times that was then determined as crazy
208
00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:23.320
or like she's too much. No, she isn't. She's just
209
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:26.879
fucking able to put it out there of what she
210
00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:31.080
wants and needs in her life. And like, yeah, that
211
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:35.960
could be scary sometimes, but like that's the whole thing
212
00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.039
you guys hold on to. Shit, that's scary too. And
213
00:16:40.279 --> 00:16:43.919
if you don't talk it out with someone and you
214
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:47.919
don't open up, then you're hiding. And it's like you're
215
00:16:48.039 --> 00:16:51.720
lying in a way because you're not being real with
216
00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:56.799
me about what's going on. And if we're in a
217
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:01.240
relationship and we're like best friends and you can't come
218
00:17:01.320 --> 00:17:04.759
talk to me, I'm going to take that personally because
219
00:17:04.839 --> 00:17:07.799
I'm trying to understand why you wouldn't be able to
220
00:17:07.799 --> 00:17:10.279
come talk to me. Because the worst thing they could
221
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:13.599
be is in our own heads, that's not who we
222
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:16.839
should we shouldn't be. We over We are creatures that
223
00:17:16.960 --> 00:17:22.319
over think. We're creatures who tend to like read into
224
00:17:22.400 --> 00:17:28.680
things or take things personally whatever. Like we've had it before.
225
00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:32.440
When when we get those questions about those relationships and
226
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:38.160
it's a lot one sided or so men need to
227
00:17:38.240 --> 00:17:41.960
open up, they need to tell us what's going on.
228
00:17:43.400 --> 00:17:47.160
We are our worst enemies. We say that the nastiest,
229
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.400
ugliest things to ourselves. The things that we say to ourselves,
230
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:54.759
we would never say to our children. We would never
231
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:57.240
say that to our best friend. We would never say
232
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.559
that to someone we love, we wouldn't. And the fact
233
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:04.279
that we say these things, and that's why, like a
234
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:10.599
lot of the work is unlearning the way we were
235
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:14.559
we cope because a lot of a lot of us
236
00:18:14.599 --> 00:18:18.720
don't cope in healthy ways, like, and that's all part
237
00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.920
of that cycle that people get stuck in. And you know,
238
00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:27.279
you either want to stop the cycle and do better
239
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.039
or you want to continue. And that kind of feeds
