0:00.0	Hi Anna. Hi Anna. Hi Anna. Do you have a dilemma that makes you feel totally alone?
0:05.4	Well, the good news is it's not just you. I'm earning more money than him now and I don't think he likes it.
0:11.4	We've been sleeping together for the past few weeks, but she has a boyfriend.
0:14.9	I am a virgin, I am 25. And I'm just not sure if it's normal.
