  Speaker 1: What's up saying thanks for holding I just wanted to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: give you all a pro tip for the twenty somethings
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: out there. Just do yourself a favor and become friends
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: with someone who's like ten, maybe like up to fifteen
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: years older than you. Seriously, like your best friend will
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: absolutely hype you up and tell you your ex is ugly
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: and like, help you stop this new girlfriend's Instagram. But like,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: sometimes you meet someone who's already lived through it and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: it's going to tell you straight out. I you know,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: I was going through the worst breakup of my life,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and I was venting my best friend every single day
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: about it. I mean she was she was amazing, but
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: eventually we were just taking her and saying, she's literally
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: the worst. And then I decided to grab coffee with
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: one of my coworkers who's about fifteen years older than me,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: and like, within five minutes, she completely changed my perspective.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: She looked at me and said, he's grieving the future
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: you imagine, not the man who actually had.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: That's good.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I mean it hurt a little to hear that,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: but she's also absolutely right. You know, I just walked
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: into the coffee shop convinced my life was completely over,
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: and then I walked out, remembering that life keeps moving,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: like I can move on from this. And it turns
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: out sometimes the best therapy is someone who's already survived
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: this chapter that you're currently convinced it like your whole story.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The thing is, too, is that you're big enough to
