- 0:59girl
- 0:59yet
- 0:59or
- 1:00not,
- 1:00you
- 1:00are
- 1:01her.
- 1:12Settling
- 1:13rarely
- 1:13starts
- 1:14with
- 1:14something
- 1:14big.
- 1:15It
- 1:15usually
- 1:16starts
- 1:16small.
- 1:17A
- 1:17comment
- 1:18that
- 1:18didn't
- 1:18sit
- 1:18right.
- 1:20Someone
- 1:20speaking
- 1:20to
- 1:21you
- 1:21in
- 1:21a
- 1:21way
- 1:21that
- 1:21felt
- 1:21dismissive,
- 1:23a
- 1:23situation
- 1:24that
- 1:24felt
- 1:24unbalanced.
- 1:26But
- 1:26instead
- 1:26of
- 1:26addressing
- 1:27it,
- 1:27you
- 1:27say
- 1:27to
- 1:27yourself,
- 1:28maybe
- 1:28I'm
- 1:29overreacting.
- 1:30Maybe
- 1:30it's
- 1:31not
- 1:31that
- 1:31serious.
- 1:32Maybe
- 1:32I
- 1:33should
- 1:33just
- 1:33let
- 1:33it
- 1:33go.
- 1:34And
- 1:34sometimes
- 1:35that
- 1:35instinct
- 1:35comes
- 1:36from
- 1:36a
- 1:36good
- 1:36place.
- 1:37You
- 1:37want
- 1:37to
- 1:37be
- 1:38understanding,
- 1:38you
- 1:39want
- 1:39to
- 1:39give
- 1:39people
- 1:40grace.
- 1:40But
- 1:41when
- 1:41grace
- 1:41turns
- 1:42into
- 1:42tolerance
- 1:42for
- 1:43things
- 1:43that
- 1:43don't
- 1:44actually
- 1:44respect
- 1:44you,
- 1:46that's
- 1:46where
- 1:46the
- 1:47problem
- 1:47starts.
- 1:47Because
- 1:48what
- 1:48you
- 1:48tolerate
- 1:49slowly
- 1:49becomes
- 1:50the
- 1:50standard.

- 6:02because
- 6:03they
- 6:03didn't
- 6:03know
- 6:03better,
- 6:04but
- 6:04because
- 6:04the
- 6:05idea
- 6:05of
- 6:05making
- 6:05a
- 6:06change
- 6:06feels
- 6:07terrifying.
- 6:08And
- 6:08I

- 6:09Stepping
- 6:10out
- 6:10on
- 6:10your

- 6:14be
- 6:14scary.
- 6:15And
- 6:15leaving

- 6:29don't
- 6:29settle
- 6:30because
- 6:30they
- 6:30want

- 6:31They
- 6:32settle
- 6:32because
- 6:32they
- 6:32don't
- 6:33fully
- 6:33believe
- 6:33that
- 6:34they
- 6:34deserve
- 6:34more.
- 6:35Or
- 6:36because
- 6:36trusting
- 6:36themselves
- 6:37feels
- 6:37risky.
- 6:38When
- 6:39you
- 6:39have
- 6:39spent
- 6:39years

- 6:47your
- 6:47own
- 6:47voice
- 6:48can
- 6:48feel

- 6:51choose
- 6:52yourself,
- 6:52something
- 6:53powerful
- 6:54happens.
- 6:55You

- 7:10thinks
- 7:10that
- 7:10she's
- 7:10better
- 7:11than
- 7:11anybody
- 7:11else,
- 7:12but
- 7:12because
- 7:12she
- 7:13respects
