About this episode

The episode explores the theme of seeking validation from others and the realization that such gaps cannot be filled by anyone.

Humans are cute, and like celestial bodies. I was thinking about this and how the people I wanted to validate me in my youth could not, and how I could not for them either, though I did try. And they did try too. I hope this is a balm to you as it was to me.
