    There are many things I love about Allison, but the low key genius of combining the boyfriend reveal with the book premiere (because she doesn’t like to self promote) is a BADASS marketing strat.

    I think the real takeaway is that everyone should write a book about their issues and just let your partner(s) read it when you start a new relationship.

    my gosh just an hour ago I was walking around in the supermarket, slightly depressed because of some circumstances, and noticing there were a ton of cute dudes and also thinking 'man I can't even really look people in the eyes now because it's too much'. I'm actually doing super great normally now on my wellbutrin (it's a great antidepressant, I recommend it a loooooot) and I've been wanting to actually get back into dating for REAL. Since I got badly depressed at around 20, exactly the time I started somewhat dating, I kind of stopped being able to open up to people romantically (coupled with the crappy self confidence)... but I really miss feeling in love!! I don't really care about the whole couple and relationship blabla, but I really want to connect with someone deeply and dare to feel it again.
    i'm officially nearing thirty and a total baby in the realm of romantic relationships and I've been feeling a bit poop about being so behind, but the AWKWARDNESS of that has also been holding me back and now, so yes your book comes at the perfect time!!! i never really get self help books but I'm getting yours, thank you for writing it

I also liked the phrase of building your dream relationship together, thats fun. Also you are looking really cute today Allison. You seem very collected and grounded through this whole video, I hope to gain some of your level of clarity over time. All the best, Jasmine.
