Throughout the years, The Skin Deep has provided a safe, non-judgmental space for real conversations thanks to the Emmy Award winning {THE AND} project. With over 1000 filmed videos, our library holds a great diversity of interactions from all over the world.
“If you’re wondering about…” is a video series that collects moments about specific topics that were talked about within our deep catalogue of conversations. The vision of {THE AND} is to build a catalogue of humans expressing their experiences and what it means to be in relationship with one another in the 21st Century. We believe there is something to learn from everyone, and that one’s life experience shared can be medicine for another, and vice versa. Thus we are proud to share with you moments pulled from our {THE AND} library that reflect exploration around a particular subject or situation.
In This Episode
Women share both cute and emotionally deep moments full of love with their partners, showing how beautiful their feelings for each other are.
As we explore new perspectives we invite you to step into the emotional space of connection and experience the deeper lessons that shared experiences can afford humanity. To everyone who has participated openly and vulnerably in our project - we appreciate what you have shared with us and hope others do as well.

1:16

1:41
You just are so unapologetic.
1:44
And I love that so much about you.
1:48
Why do you love me? - Oh my God!
1:55
You're literally one of- if not,
1:58
the most like wholesome, genuine
2:00
person I’ve ever encountered.
2:03
Why would I ever make a 17 hour drive,
2:06
on no sleep ,
2:08
you know?
2:12
I knew while we were facetiming, you knoe,
2:16
through January, February, March,
2:19
I'm like, she's special.
2:20
But I didn't allow myself to
2:21
fully open up to you.
2:24
Look at the way you're looking at me.
2:25
How am I supposed to-?
2:27
What do you find
2:28
most beautiful about my love?
2:32
The most. I know there's
2:33
so many, girl.
2:40
That it is very fierce.
2:43
Really?
2:44
Yeah.
2:44
I think you love me in a very fierce way.
2:46
I think you love me in a way
2:48
that is with me,
2:51
even when you're not around.
2:53
And I never thought
2:54
that was something that I would get.
3:00
And so this is really cool.
3:01
You look good in love.
3:04
I do. I feel good
3:05
in love.
3:06
I do.
3:07
And I think it's because of your love.
3:10
I think I've felt more empowered.
3:14
I know, I don't like that word either.
3:17
I think I've just felt more bold
3:18
in general
3:19
in doing
3:20
whatever the fuck I want to
3:21
do, you know, and starting
3:24
going
3:25
after the dreams that I
3:28
didn't think that I could have.
3:33
Why did you decide to marry me?
3:38
Imagine if I asked that in like
3:39
a different tone.
3:40
Why did you decide to marry well?
3:42
Well, I’m not married to you yet.
3:43
Yeah. - But, um...
3:45
But we're engaged. - We’re engaged.
3:47
And why did I decide that
3:48
I wanted to marry you?
3:51
I think just like
3:54
everything, the connection,
3:56
the communication,
3:57
the effortless relationship, the...
4:01
I love you.
4:02
Like, sorry, I had to say that.
4:05
I love you.
4:06
I love you so much.
4:08
You are my favorite person.
4:11
I look up to you.
4:13
You are my best friend.
4:15
I don't want to be without you.
4:18
I do not want my life to be lived
4:20
without you.
4:21
I want us to have
4:24
a shared life
4:25
like I want us to do life together.
4:27
That would even be my answer.
4:29
Like I couldn't not be with you.
4:31
Once I met you,
4:32
I had to live life with you.
4:35
Because you know
4:36
the question of
4:36
why did you decide to marry me?
4:38
We both proposed to each other.
4:40
We both were people that
4:42
didn't really see ourselves
4:43
getting married before we met each other.
4:45
I never was somebody
4:46
that desired marriage
4:48
and it had a whole new meaning
4:51
after we met.
4:51
Yeah. - You know?
4:53
It was like: a life together.
4:54
And also as an LGBTQ+ couple,
4:57
I want to marry you because we can.
4:59
You know,
5:00
that's a powerful thing as well.
5:03
Why am I in your life?
5:06
There's a lot of things
5:08
we've been through,
5:09
and this is one of the questions
5:10
that I sometimes ask myself.
5:12
Mm.
5:13
But it's like...
5:15
She just it.
5:18
She's just it.
5:20
Like religion couldn't tear us apart.
5:23
Different continents or states
5:27
could not tear apart
5:30
careers could not tears apart.
5:33
So why are- you are actually in my life?
5:37
You know what I mean?
5:39
It's like
5:44
you're just it.
5:46
If this was to be our last conversation...
5:50
Hmm.
5:51
What’s something you never want me to forget?
6:01
That I love you,
6:01
and I appreciate you
6:02
for everything you've ever done.
6:05
I love you and appreciate you too, babe.
6:13
Told you.
6:14
Don't make me cry.
6:17
When we first met, you were so broken,
6:19
you know?
6:20
And not care- and not caring about nothing.
6:24
And I just.
6:24
I just believe that everybody in life
6:26
has something to live for,
6:28
you know what I mean?
6:30
And I just never want you to forget
6:31
your worth, babe.
6:33
You were so raw,
6:36
so fucking raw.
6:37
Like,
6:38
I never think
6:39
you was gonna make it
6:41
but I was
6:42
thought you was going to be on pay per view
6:43
because I'm-
6:43
You know,
6:44
I told you I was going ahead and quit- - Oh, God, I'm
6:48
going to be good with that.
6:49
Because I never thought it was going
6:50
to be that,
6:51
because you were so different
6:52
from what I was used to,
6:54
you know what I mean?
6:54
Like to see you grow into your womanhood
6:57
and just
6:58
be comfortable in your own skin and,
7:00
you know, not let people get over on you
7:03
because your heart is good. You know what I’m saying?
