Really thankful I found you and your content. I feel like you are talking to men and women in a way that humanity has missed for a very long time... I feel that so many human beings are so flawed in their understanding because of so much trauma and confusion and even instructors on the matters around relationship are for a great part not so clean even with the best of intentions, Thank you so much for your video. I was in bed crying trying to figure out a solution to a losing situation and your video just popped up and clarified everything Thank you for your guidance #HEXAGONCYBERSPACE I've been praying for direction and you have helped me see things more clearly!
