Well, I have been in relationships all my life, and for the first time ever about a year and a half ago...I became single.... It's been brilliant because I really need to figure out who I am, by myself, not in conjunction with anyone else. I have spent most of my life thinking about what the woman in my life needs, and, don't get me wrong, I love doing that. That's why I have done it so much.... But for the first time in my life I have been waking up in the morning and thinking "What the fuck does Dash want to do today...." And not worrying about anyone else but me...I think everyone knows how easy it is to desert huge parts of yourself while in relationships...and we all yearn for the balance of taking care of one's self and their partner.... So I strive to achieve that one day and am taking steps toward it....
