“I say this a lot about fears. They're just bullshit. I realized that I was already doing it and I could do it all myself. And when I truly started living like that, truly started prioritizing myself, putting myself first, making good decisions for myself and not for anybody else, that is when that relationship finally broke. That is when the universe kind of stepped in, cut those ties that needed to be cut.”
