| 0:00.0 | Good morning and welcome back or welcome to Morning Ray. I'm your host, Lan. Today's episode is one about |
| 0:13.5 | loneliness and about navigating friendships and adulthood, post-grad life, young adulthood. |
| 0:20.4 | Maybe you could be older, whatever your age is, |
| 0:23.2 | but it is going to be about loneliness, and I know I'm not the only one currently struggling with |
| 0:29.2 | this, and going through a traditional, traditional, a transitional period in my life. And, |
| 0:36.3 | you know, I think God really laughed at me when I said that I hope |

| 1:51.8 | had a lot of different struggles in my life and I've gone through some traumas per se and I've |
| 1:58.6 | experienced a lot of hardships. I've experienced loneliness. I have |
