Are you passing the buck?

" I was the JVP – coz I refused to say yes to everything. But by doing this – as uncomfortable and painful as it was, I also set a precedence. That I ain’t taking crap. And the people who came after me, enjoyed the benefits of that."

"Your inability to want to commit to a relationship is something that stems from your own childhood. From your relationship with your mother. It must be a mess for you to call your own mother a bitch. Yet you don’t seek help. Coz you’re a man right?"
