Where do I begin? I discovered Theo during one of the darkest points in my 29 years: cold turkey withdraw from 3 years of daily x*n*x use. From there, he became a permanent staple in my life — to this very day, listening to Theo’s podcast regulates my nervous system and brings me real, sustained joy. I’ll find myself replaying my favorite parts and laughing to myself even days after listening. Beyond the laughs, you have opened my mind and the minds of your listeners to such a wide variety of people. Regular every day folks, politicians from all sides, artists, scientists, doctors, celebrities, and more. Having Bernie Sanders was revolutionary and you must know that for every person that may have wanted you canceled for it, there were 10 more who gathered a new found respect for you. Your mindfulness, emotional understanding, and eagerness to take accountability when necessary is unmatched.
Ignore the comments, clips, deep dives and whatever else. You are amazing. You are worthy of the loving partner you will eventually find. You are worthy of the beautiful family you dream of one day having. And if those things don’t happen, that doesn’t make you a failure — it just means that the universe knows there’s something else you’re destined for and it is still in the works.
Also, I too am half Polish and half Nicaraguan so it would be a disservice to our ancestors if we don’t end up getting married.
