Sal and y'all would love the Japanese phrase, "Mono No Aware". Give it a GOOG! I have that phrase tattooed on my arm underneath a monkey that is sitting cross legged with one hand flipping you off, the other hand waving, one eye is an X, and the other eye is a heart.
I love Sal. Love, love, love Sal. He’s so funny even when he’s not trying. Wasn’t ever really a big jokers fan but somehow I’ve been on the tastebuds train since episode one and it’s pretty crazy how much I relate to both him and Joe. This was a good one and not surprised that Sal is worried ahout how it will be received.
I couldn't even imagine someone saying that they're not an impractical joker's fan. I don't even see how that's possible.😂 one of the greatest shows ever!
I've had crippling death anxiety since I was 9 or so years old. It was so cathartic to hear someone else talk about this and express the things I've felt my entire life. Great episode guys.
Same here, not enough people talk about this and it makes sense why it wouldn’t be talked about a lot cause it’s sad but hearing others point of view is very cathartic
Same here. One thing that has helped is wiping the past and the future from my brain in those moments. I stay right here. Is my bed comfortable? What part of my body is touching it? Is the temperature good in here? How does my body feel? Also check out Jason Stephenson sleep meditations for stress and anxiety. I listen every night and I sleep like a baby. It helps even when you’re not sleeping.
Sal is the perfect guest for this show- guy can't help but be genuine. I knew it would be a tear-jerker the second I saw these two guys together. Couldn't be a better tuesdee!
I'm an EMDR therapist and it makes me SO HAPPY every time I hear Sickler and guests talk about therapy and EMDR. Ya'll are paving the way for mental health and ending the stigma. Thanks for all you do. ❤
I agree, I love when I hear these famous middle age men openly talk about mental health. They don't even make it a big deal, They talk like it's just normal. like it's cars or sports
Sal was such a good guest! Never have I heard someone explain their anxiety in such a clear way. I share every thought and fear that Sal talked about, down to the smallest detail: the existential fear, the comfort of water, sleep problems, song loops etc. It's nice not to feel alone, after hearing what Sal was feeling, and knowing that other humans brain also works the same way as mine. Thank you Ryan and Sal for taking the time to talk. The value of these conversations resonate across continents. Love from Denmark 🇩🇰🇺🇸
Ryan IS a safe space. I recognize this in him because out of all the things I beat myself badly up about, being a people's - complete strangers - safe space to talk is one of my favorite things about myself, matter of fact a lady I clean for calls me just that, 'her safe space'. Ryan HISELF, IS, the safe space🙏 💜
One thing nobody prepares you for as an adult is watching your parents get old 😥 Because you still have the memories of them when they were young and spry. It's hard to see them being frail and fragile. So totally understand Sal for that. Really appreciate Sal talking about anxiety and depression. Helps take the stigma off of it. Anybody can have it even people you think can't possibly go thru it like Sal. You by all appearances are a pretty happy guy. I'm that way too, I look happy and sound happy. But under the surface I'm battling these demons. So thanks Sal and Ryan for this episode ❣️
There's no more stigma, nowadays kids pretend to have anxiety and other mental disorders just to be cool. Sad world we live in but it'll pass just like everything else that's trendy.
@@Ervinabrahamian I respectfully disagree. Teens may claim this for clout. Maybe or maybe not, they actually do but it's dismissed. I still see stigma especially in the medical community. If you go to your doctor and say you have a pain or whatever. And they ask you what medication you are on and as soon as they see you take antianxiety med. They just roll with that. You have nothing wrong, it's just your anxiety. They blame everything on it. I have been there. It's until you find a doctor willing to look pass it or you keep complaining about it, they eventually look for the cause of why you're in pain. Turns out it's fractured. Depression too. They still kind of view it as you're just sad. You'll be fine in a day or two. Just smile more and it'll go away. My PA told me that.
@@cosmicaf3012 I'm 36 and been going to doctors and therapy for PTSD, addiction, depression and anxiety since I was 15. I've never once experienced what you are saying. When I was 15 they diagnosed me as bipolar and prescribed lithium. A few years later when that didn't work, they prescribed Paxil. Then they prescribed Seroquel, and so on and so on. I decided to drop the meds and work on myself by myself. I conquered my PTSD by cutting out my abuser from my life (Mother) and surrounding myself with people willing to listen to me when I spoke about my trauma. I conquered my anxiety by exercising and my drug addiction is a thing of the past, although I did relapse a few times before that was possible. Depression still comes and goes but that's part of life for everybody and we have to accept it. My point is, I didn't need the pills and I didn't need to constantly focus on the fact that I have a mental illness. That's the problem, everybody nowadays thinks talking about it more and bringing attention to mental illness will make it better, it won't! You need to pull yourself up by the bootstraps and realize the only thing stopping you from healing is YOU. We are a weak generation (millenials and gen z), we need to recognize that and think of our grandparents and learn from them, their generation was tough. They didn't spend all their time diagnosing themselves and crying about it. Nowadays, doctors will prescribe pills for anything without a thought because they're incentivised to do so by big pharma. If your doctor thinks you DON'T need meds and it's just your anxiety, maybe you DO have a good doctor and they aren't just in it for the money, maybe you're a hypochondriac. I hope you take some of my advice and deal with your anxiety, I know it can be crippling but it isn't undefeatable. That voice inside your head can be a real jerk, I know mine could. I battled it inside for so long, it wasn't easy, but when I learned I could tell it to shut up and ignore it, it did me wonders. Nowadays, that voice is barely ever there, of course it comes back sometimes but you gotta fight it every time. I mean all of this in kindness and wanting to help, I hope I didn't hurt your feelings in any way.
This helped me deal with my own ADHD, generalized anxiety disorder and persistent depressive disorder. I'm similar to Sal and I learned about thought loops and related to a lot of what you guys talked about. This was great!
There's been so many honeydew episodes that have touched me in different ways, but this was different. I've spent so much of my life feeling alone. I cried through this entire episode because of how many things I could relate to. This episode was incredible. Thank you sal for being so open with your struggles and thank you ryan for providing a platform like this. This meant a lot.
THANK YOU SAL. I relate to your feelings and struggles. My parents are "deteriorating" and I am an "older" dad. Life is precious and miraculous-that's why I think we get emotional about death. THANKS RYAN
Goddammit the shit his friend Doug went through is literally the same that I've personally dealt with. I had half my jaw removed from cancer when I was 19 and around eight years later my life was completely changed because of severe Crohn's disease which is similar to ulcerative colitis. (Edit: for context I'm 39 now) I'm not trying to make this about me at all I'm just relating so hard to how these things affect your friends and family, I have so much love for Sal and I cried a few times throughout this podcast just feeling his hurt and empathy. Always felt that he's such a genuinely great guy before I ever knew about any of these insights into his life, the power of the Dew and Sickler just peels the layers🙏 there's nothing like this show on youtube
Great episode! What’s NOT to live about Sal Vulcano? Just an all around good guy, loves his family, he’s hilariously funny… and very real. Many of us struggle with some of these same fears- it’s good to know that we’re not alone- we’ve just got to keep putting one foot in front of the other and live our best life! ❤️
along with Jeremiah’s appearance on HD, this episode is my fav!! Ryan knows when to listen and be patient, but also knows how to break the ice and make his friends laugh it out!! Good people, great show!!
Sal's struggle with ADHD and anxiety hits home with me. I could so relate to everything he says. And he's such a sweet guy in person too. Love love love him.
Man, ever since I started watching sal outside of impractical jokers I’ve really come to appreciate how genuine he is. I also struggle with severe depression and anxiety and would use impractical jokers to cheer myself up when I was extremely sad, I’m now doing a lot better and to hear Sal also have gone thru the same thing is so comforting
Thank you so much for this! I lost my 20 year old son almost 2 years ago, I always had anxiety and worried like crazy since he was born. I have a 13 year old daughter and have no idea how I’ll get through her life growing up without her brother and me not being so overbearing and overly protective!💔💔💔
Sal is just an awesome person and a great guest for this show. Sal loves his friends and family, wears his emotions on his sleeve, and is the kind of person I wish I was a bit more like. Oh my God, the Roddy Piper story is one of a kind. Great ep Ryan
Sal!! you shut your face about your self doubt. ryan nailed it when he said people relate. and by the way Me Too on the water. i have offered weird favors to float in someones pool. and you made ryan do the high pitch giggle. we need sal back!
I'm a Scorp & an empath. Been dealing with depression/anxiety since I was a child. It's rough, every day trudging through. Relish those happy moments & cherish those memories, finding happiness in the smallest ways has helped.
The raw breakthrough moments captured during the guests recalling their experiences is so private and personal and phenomenal. I have so much appreciation for this pod and what it brings to the community. I hope Ryan knows how much healing and laughter he brings to us all. ❤️
Best Podcast of the week! The dad to all us misfits. Happy Tooesdee y'all! Your life and voice matter and #NightpantsNation LOVES YOU BIG and if you're struggling reach out. I'm always here to listen with no judgement because that's what Ryan taught us to do! Have a great week y'all! 💚
32:48 I am crying so hard. I also took care of my grandma who had dementia & it is the worst disease.. in the end; her spirit overpowered the disease & she remembered who we were.
What Sal said about the constant loop of songs in your head!! I have never NOT had a song playing in the background of my thoughts and just recently found out not everyone had the same experience😂
I loved this episode. I deal with some of the same craziness that y’all talked about, and it was heartwarming to hear that others deal with it too. I’m a fan of both you guys! Your awesome! Thanks for a peak into the lowlights
I love Sal SO much. I remember realizing death was a thing when I was like 5 years old. Dealing with this anxiety for a lifetime has been so interesting. Learning to let go 🤍
I related so much when you were talking about ADD, anxiety, and depression, because that’s the 3 things I deal with too. I worry about the death of my loved ones and the fear of leaving my family behind if I die. Blessed to finally have life and health insurance so it gives me more peace of mind, but I worry more about the people I leave behind hating me for not being there. I know I’ll be dead and I probably won’t be worried about it anymore I just want to leave a legacy of fun and love with my kids that I can leave them. Love y’all’s comedy and love that we can vent it and then laugh and make fun of it, I believe it gives these worries and scary things less power in our mind and heart. Thank you both for the conversation.
I really appreciate Sal talking about Hsu struggles thinking about death. I just turned 21 and for the last half year ir so I think about death multiple times a day. Sal saying "how do you not think about that?" Really hits home. Your existence just ends one day and you have no control. We only get briefe light between eternal nothingness.
Sal I relate to so so much. With the ADHD , crippling anxiety. It gets in the way of holding down jobs , personal relationships, getting out of bed , every day tasks, everything. Listening to people like this helps me so much knowing I’m not the only one who goes through these things. Taking steps to get better can only do so much, bc when you feel alone it’s so alone. Thank you two ! I love laughing and crying along with you ❤️
I've never heard someone describe exactly why goes through my mind each day before. The thing where a song will get stuck in your head and it's attached to a memory and sometimes that's crushing? Oof. Yeah. Nearly daily. So glad Sal opened up so much here. He's clearly a genuinely good person.
Wow. I really needed this. I suffer from almost all the same anxieties that Sal does AND I’m a cryer 😭😂 meant so much to hear someone else talk about their anxieties, anxieties I thought I was alone in having. Doubt he’ll ever see this but if by some random chance he does, thank you, Sal.
What really got me when Sal talked about his best friend he lost who was his biggest supporter. Having judgment-free unconditional support for dreams & passions is massively motivating and rare.
I think I just fell in love (more) w Sal. Love the real talk, and his own personal journey w anxiety/depression and ADHD. My son has struggled w the same since he's been 10(now 21). Thank you Sal! And Ryan too❤️
Sal is such a beautiful human. He feels very deeply and seeing him be so open and emotional was very touching. It made me love him so much more than I already do. He’s so freakin hilarious, you would never think he would have this sadness to him.
this helped me so much. I am having almost the exact same feelings about death and loved ones and everything Sal is describing. Thank you thank you thank you. it helps so much to not feel so alone
I hope Sal reads all the comments here and realises how much his experiences resonate with so many people. What a sweet, humble guy, one of those dudes you’d want to talk to for hours! Sickler too - brilliant in everything he’s in and absolutely excels as the host here. Fantastic episode ❤️
Great episode! Thanks for speaking so freely Sal! I’m in a similar boat. Adult diagnosed ADHD that in hindsight started and fed the last ten years of depression and anxiety. I couldn’t drive for years for fear of dying or orphaning my daughter. Hearing stories like yours help others like myself have a little solace. You’re a great person, and I like to think I am too. Keep being an awesome uncle and when the time is right, be the great dad everyone knows you will be.
Literally can’t stop crying with you, sal. It’s so refreshing that someone else struggles with feeling these same feelings. Love you, I just make myself believe there will be endless life for me and my loved ones by the time we are at an elder age. It’s possible, anything is.
Ive always only known Sal from Impractical Jokers and recently on YMH and now HoneyDew ive felt i got to know him, and the reason is because ive realised that me and him have the same feelings and fears. Much respect for being real Sal. You're an amazing person. You've gained a fan in me
I’m 20 years old, I struggle with anxiety about as bad as Sal. I have never related to another person who was able to tell me what my own anxieties were. We literally have the same one. Death. Never could find the words to figure out what’s wrong with me. I guess I can say I found a piece of the puzzle. Once again, thank you Sal, and Ryan Sickler for having him on and helping a soul one at a time.
I loved this so much🥲 it truly makes me feel like I’m not alone, I relate to Sal and Ryan so damn much. I’m a crier, im overly emotional, and have intrusive thoughts 24/7 in a weird way this humanized me to not feel like such an outcast thank you both for this gem
You need to check out his podcast Hey Babe with Chris Distefano from episode one. 😂 They are both great guys with big hearts and a silly sense of humor. #bestpodonyoutube
Listening to Sal on this episode, I watched it and saw me sitting in his seat as he talked about death anxiety. I'm 38 and feel this everyday with my parents, what age my kids will be when I die, etc.
I love Sal! I struggle with anxiety big time. I decided last year I wasn’t going to let it stop me from living anymore. I’m almost 48 I don’t have a lot of time left! Seeing people like you and Sal shows me that I can do it.
I’ve never met Sal but there’s something about this dude where I just KNOW he’s a good guy and someone we can all learn from on how we should be okay with our emotions
This was awesome! Thank you Sal and Ryan for this. I have so much of the same anxiety and it's good to know that i'm not alone. Having a lifelong physical disability has made me think about the fear of dying so much.
"He's in the car" OMG HoneyDew never freaking fails to bring me out of a crying mess to laughing hysterically. Freaking love Sal, and of course Ryan. Thank you!!!
Sal.... these heart touching real life stories are what makes honey dew like no other pod . Highlighting the low lights is a vibe for us all in the comedy pod world
Never really been much of a Sal fan until he started his podcast circuit recently. Sal, every single thing you were saying I 1000% related to. Ear worms, worrying about EVERYTHING, major OCD, taking care of everybody before I take care of myself. Before Ryan asked you if you were a Pisces I knew you are a Scorpio! I was going to Google your birthday to see after this episode. I'm a Libra/Scorpio . I tell my therapist that I am the hall monitor of life and I really don't want the job. It chose me.

Your laugh is by far my favorite laugh anyone has. It’s legendary.

Sal Is my spirit animal- shoutout rhymes
I relate to this so much .
Wow
Dude... for him to praise his dead homie like that is amazing! People like Sal are hard to find these days!
This was such a good episode. Sal balled like big lovable baby and that’s why we love him. He’s genuine as are you Sickler. Banger of an episode 🔥
Sal should have hit the step dad with his "if you're watching and we know that you are" 😂
Haha 😆 yessss!
I love Sal. Love, love, love Sal. He’s so funny even when he’s not trying. Wasn’t ever really a big jokers fan but somehow I’ve been on the tastebuds train since episode one and it’s pretty crazy how much I relate to both him and Joe. This was a good one and not surprised that Sal is worried ahout how it will be received.
Who doesn't/can't? Baaad people.
Well said 👍🏼
Sal's a worry wart.
And I would be remiss not to congratulate Patrick Mahones and the Kansas city chiefs.
I couldn't even imagine someone saying that they're not an impractical joker's fan. I don't even see how that's possible.😂 one of the greatest shows ever!
I've had crippling death anxiety since I was 9 or so years old. It was so cathartic to hear someone else talk about this and express the things I've felt my entire life. Great episode guys.

I loved this episode. I deal with some of the same craziness that y’all talked about, and it was heartwarming to hear that others deal with it too. I’m a fan of both you guys! Your awesome! Thanks for a peak into the lowlights

Dang man. The fear in Sal's voice is heartbreaking. I appreciate the honesty and openness
I love Sal SO much. I remember realizing death was a thing when I was like 5 years old. Dealing with this anxiety for a lifetime has been so interesting. Learning to let go 🤍
I related so much when you were talking about ADD, anxiety, and depression, because that’s the 3 things I deal with too. I worry about the death of my loved ones and the fear of leaving my family behind if I die. Blessed to finally have life and health insurance so it gives me more peace of mind, but I worry more about the people I leave behind hating me for not being there. I know I’ll be dead and I probably won’t be worried about it anymore I just want to leave a legacy of fun and love with my kids that I can leave them. Love y’all’s comedy and love that we can vent it and then laugh and make fun of it, I believe it gives these worries and scary things less power in our mind and heart. Thank you both for the conversation.
I really appreciate Sal talking about Hsu struggles thinking about death. I just turned 21 and for the last half year ir so I think about death multiple times a day. Sal saying "how do you not think about that?" Really hits home. Your existence just ends one day and you have no control. We only get briefe light between eternal nothingness.
Sal I relate to so so much. With the ADHD , crippling anxiety. It gets in the way of holding down jobs , personal relationships, getting out of bed , every day tasks, everything. Listening to people like this helps me so much knowing I’m not the only one who goes through these things. Taking steps to get better can only do so much, bc when you feel alone it’s so alone. Thank you two ! I love laughing and crying along with you ❤️
I've never heard someone describe exactly why goes through my mind each day before. The thing where a song will get stuck in your head and it's attached to a memory and sometimes that's crushing? Oof. Yeah. Nearly daily. So glad Sal opened up so much here. He's clearly a genuinely good person.
Sally V, you are such a blessing. Your heart is a gift, but I’m so sorry it causes you pain. Thank you for sharing.
Better Help with Ryan Sickler lol man, these two are probably the most likable guys in the business.
This has become my weekly therapy sesh.
Thank you Ryan for everything you do!
Wow. I really needed this. I suffer from almost all the same anxieties that Sal does AND I’m a cryer 😭😂 meant so much to hear someone else talk about their anxieties, anxieties I thought I was alone in having. Doubt he’ll ever see this but if by some random chance he does, thank you, Sal.
What really got me when Sal talked about his best friend he lost who was his biggest supporter. Having judgment-free unconditional support for dreams & passions is massively motivating and rare.
I think I just fell in love (more) w Sal. Love the real talk, and his own personal journey w anxiety/depression and ADHD. My son has struggled w the same since he's been 10(now 21).
Thank you Sal! And Ryan too❤️
Sal is such a beautiful human. He feels very deeply and seeing him be so open and emotional was very touching. It made me love him so much more than I already do.
He’s so freakin hilarious, you would never think he would have this sadness to him.
Love both of these guys but damn….have me crying on the forklift at work. Had to call and tell my parents I love them.
this helped me so much. I am having almost the exact same feelings about death and loved ones and everything Sal is describing. Thank you thank you thank you. it helps so much to not feel so alone
sal seems like such a kind soul, and to see him open up like that was so endearing
I hope Sal reads all the comments here and realises how much his experiences resonate with so many people.
What a sweet, humble guy, one of those dudes you’d want to talk to for hours!
Sickler too - brilliant in everything he’s in and absolutely excels as the host here.
Fantastic episode ❤️
Great episode! Thanks for speaking so freely Sal! I’m in a similar boat. Adult diagnosed ADHD that in hindsight started and fed the last ten years of depression and anxiety. I couldn’t drive for years for fear of dying or orphaning my daughter. Hearing stories like yours help others like myself have a little solace. You’re a great person, and I like to think I am too. Keep being an awesome uncle and when the time is right, be the great dad everyone knows you will be.
Literally can’t stop crying with you, sal. It’s so refreshing that someone else struggles with feeling these same feelings. Love you, I just make myself believe there will be endless life for me and my loved ones by the time we are at an elder age. It’s possible, anything is.
Damn, what a heartfelt episode. I came for the laughs but stayed for the feels.
Sal is such a good dude man. Love to see it. Same with Ryan. This is why I love this podcast.
Sickler, I had surprise twins at the start of 2020. Your show has helped me through some HARD days! Love your show so much❤🧡💛
Lemme cry for an hour, then come see my show 😂 Sal is the best!
These two laughing together is medicine for the soul 💖
If you're not startin' your twosdees off with the nightpants nation, ya doin' it wrong! Have a great day, y'all!!!
This was such a great episode!! Sal is such a wonderful person and for me, very relatable. Loved it!! ❤️
Ive always only known Sal from Impractical Jokers and recently on YMH and now HoneyDew ive felt i got to know him, and the reason is because ive realised that me and him have the same feelings and fears. Much respect for being real Sal. You're an amazing person. You've gained a fan in me
I’m 20 years old, I struggle with anxiety about as bad as Sal. I have never related to another person who was able to tell me what my own anxieties were. We literally have the same one. Death. Never could find the words to figure out what’s wrong with me. I guess I can say I found a piece of the puzzle. Once again, thank you Sal, and Ryan Sickler for having him on and helping a soul one at a time.
Sal got me crying at work. He's such a special human being.
I have a new appreciation for Sal after this episode. Ryan, you're doing a good thing for all of us with this show -- thank you, brother.
I loved this so much🥲 it truly makes me feel like I’m not alone, I relate to Sal and Ryan so damn much. I’m a crier, im overly emotional, and have intrusive thoughts 24/7 in a weird way this humanized me to not feel like such an outcast thank you both for this gem
@@michaelsilverfoote6272 thank you for this ❤️
The rowdy piper bit had me crying laughing so hard😂😂😂
Never watched the impractical jokers, him being on these podcasts makes me really like him. Seems like a good, hilarious dude.
You need to check out his podcast Hey Babe with Chris Distefano from episode one. 😂 They are both great guys with big hearts and a silly sense of humor. #bestpodonyoutube
@@MrsParksIsInTheHouse they're such silly Willie's. I love it.
During the rowdy piper story I was crying then laughing out loud. Love Sal, love Ryan. This was a fantastic episode
Sal & Ryan. A couple of the most genuine, down to earth, hilarious guys. Thanks for sharing
Listening to Sal on this episode, I watched it and saw me sitting in his seat as he talked about death anxiety. I'm 38 and feel this everyday with my parents, what age my kids will be when I die, etc.
Can I say thank you. I walk around in the same mindset. This is the first time I feel someone can relate. Thank you very much.
This is the most relatable podcast ever. I cried the whole time, lol!!
It's scary how much I relate to Sal's issues. You did great Sal. And Ryan never dissapoints.
Best honey dew episode ever! Love Sal, Love Ryan!
I love Sal! I struggle with anxiety big time. I decided last year I wasn’t going to let it stop me from living anymore. I’m almost 48 I don’t have a lot of time left! Seeing people like you and Sal shows me that I can do it.
I love my best friend to breast cancer a few years ago. Your story has helped me feel less alone in this feeling. Sending love, Sal.
I’ve never met Sal but there’s something about this dude where I just KNOW he’s a good guy and someone we can all learn from on how we should be okay with our emotions
Really appreciated this episode as someone who struggles with so many similar issues.
This was awesome! Thank you Sal and Ryan for this. I have so much of the same anxiety and it's good to know that i'm not alone. Having a lifelong physical disability has made me think about the fear of dying so much.
my grandpa died two days ago... This really hit me harder than I thought it would. He was my childhood best friend.
I’m sorry for your loss
"He's in the car" OMG HoneyDew never freaking fails to bring me out of a crying mess to laughing hysterically. Freaking love Sal, and of course Ryan. Thank you!!!
Sal.... these heart touching real life stories are what makes honey dew like no other pod .
Highlighting the low lights is a vibe for us all in the comedy pod world
This episode is one of your best. Between what Sal brought up and you two discussed, fuck, that hits deep
I just want to say that this podcast helped me more than either of you could know. Thank you Sal, you're honestly just the best human.
I could listen to these two talk for hours !
Sal gets better and better to me . Love this man .
Sal is the nicest funny person, and the funniest nice person.
This was a great listen. Big fan of Sal, so glad he felt comfortable enough to open up. @Ryan Sickler is a great interviewer.
This is such a great episode!! I loved seeing the raw emotions from Sal and it was comforting hearing someone with such similiar struggles.
Never really been much of a Sal fan until he started his podcast circuit recently. Sal, every single thing you were saying I 1000% related to. Ear worms, worrying about EVERYTHING, major OCD, taking care of everybody before I take care of myself. Before Ryan asked you if you were a Pisces I knew you are a Scorpio! I was going to Google your birthday to see after this episode. I'm a Libra/Scorpio . I tell my therapist that I am the hall monitor of life and I really don't want the job. It chose me.
The HoneyDew 🍈 never fails to bring me through a range of emotions that I didn’t even know I needed to feel.
