Viskas kaip aš suprantu iš savo pusės.

Egle wonders if her True Love even exists, if it’s possible, and her faith in the man, the person, or even the concept as being true when applied to her.

Egle discusses her standards, discipline, and her future plans.

Egle talks about how her false love was enamores with controlling her more than with who she is. She also discusses how people waste time in relationships and how she reluctantly must achieve success on her own, because the world has set up to discredit and “lose” women.

Egle has a Eureka moment when she realizes that she hadn’t been valuing herself with someone who she originally thought was her True Love. She discusses her new revelation.

Egle checks in after doing some sprints on hills during a sunset at a forest preserve.

Egle talks, accompanied by piano, about moving out, and the years she and her True Love spent apart.
