| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own |
| 0:04.3 | rebirth many years ago and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life |
| 0:08.9 | lessons and revelations. I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose |
| 0:16.2 | because self-help doesn't have to be so complicated. |
| 0:20.0 | Whether you're going through a breakup or you keep playing a breakup and it's |
| 0:30.0 | something that you don't have closure to. I have a few reminders for you. And by the way, I don't really even believe in closure. I don't like the idea that something has to close for something else to open because you know |

| 2:01.0 | Some love leaves us with information, some a reminder of what we don't want and doesn't work, |
