0:19.0	because I'm I'm run by fear but it's very easy to tap into beauty and love and positivity.
0:27.0	Because I had a mother that said, I love you, showed me her love, I believe in you.
0:32.0	And that's why it's so hard for me to see children
0:36.7	that are in fear of their own parents or afraid to be themselves and to be who they are because we have I I have
