If you haven’t ever heard of a guy called Mathew Hussey talking about relationships, you need to find him on YouTube now. He’s amazeballs, love his work. One of the best things I’ve ever heard him talk about is how relationships are about the trash cans. He talks about being taken to Disneyland by his folks as a 13 year old, and how excited he was.
