    This is the tale of Kanye West, who is snuggled up in his Kanye Nest, having himself a Kanye Rest, for he must be at his Kanye Best, before he’s off to his Kanye Quest, where he’ll be put to the Kanye Test, in hopes to retrieve the Kanye Chest that is distinctly marked with Kanye Crest, He shall return to the Kanye Nest and have himself a Kanye Fest, where he will welcome many Kanye Guests, but first he must be rid of Kanye Pests, before he can put on his Kanye Vest and dance at the party with such Kanye Zest..

    It’s difficult to have discernment when you come from a family that is degrading and dehumanizing since day one… for some, fear(fight-or-flight) is all they know and all they feel in their bodies. I’m glad these topics are being talked about more. Future parents and children will benefit from knowing better. This is an interesting angle to approach this topic. Thank you, Adie 🙏❤️

      Right, if your feelings get stomped on long enough, you unlearn (or never learn) to read and express them properly.

    Sometimes there are things you can’t consent to. Teaches you that you can’t control everything in your life.

    • jparkerwillis

      December 17, 2020 at 10:59 pm

      You never consented to be born and you never consented to die. Sometimes you just have to accept life as it is and stop trying to control everything.

    This is awesome! not just because its about consent and helps children and people, but because it wasn’t woke bullshit bashing on men. boys and girls get sexually assaulted and not just by men . thats why i love this video! Please TED talks learn from this video and understand why you are getting likes and dislikes.

    Consent is insufficient. Desire is needed.

    • Inspirice

      December 19, 2020 at 11:13 pm

      Isn’t consent a result of desire, at least in most cases?

    • Khaim Gulkovich

      December 20, 2020 at 11:28 am

      @Inspirice ,
      1. Only a mature personality is capable of unconditional love.
      2. For proper distinction between interest and desire a female ought to be, at least, financially independent.
