| 0:00.0 | Hi, my name is John Kim. I'm a therapist who went through his own rebirth many years ago |
| 0:05.6 | and I've been documenting my journey ever since sharing my life lessons and revelations. |
| 0:10.3 | I believe in casual or clinical with you instead of at you. I come unrehearsed on purpose |
| 0:16.2 | because self-health doesn't have to be so complicated. |
| 0:21.6 | So I just got a parking ticket. As you know, parking tickets can ruin your day. |
| 0:28.0 | Although I would like to say that I don't allow things like that to ruin my day anymore. |
| 0:34.0 | But I think parking tickets are one of the, |
| 0:38.0 | one of the things that I struggle with |
| 0:51.0 | because I struggle with because like the thing about parking tickets is it there's no reason for you to get a parking ticket right if you just put money in the meter it's not like you made an illegal U-turn or you're speeding or you did something wrong |
| 1:00.0 | because I could live with that but it's just like you're putting meter in the |
| 1:05.4 | you're putting money in the meter and I was actually doing it on the app. |

| 1:35.7 | But I gotta say to give myself credit, I am never mean to the meter maids |
| 1:39.2 | because they probably get people screaming at them all day right so I'm always |
| 1:45.8 | respectful and I never argue with them so I got a parking ticket and that's one thing that happened and then I so I have a story so I was |
| 2:00.3 | driving up the street, already angry, because with the parking ticket, the pork riemann I had |
| 2:11.0 | wasn't $20. It was now 80, right? And so I'm a little annoyed by that. And I'm driving up the street and I see a Jamaican food truck and I'm always all about giving |
| 2:28.0 | small business owners businesses and the just going to go binge, right? So I pull over to the Jamaican food truck. I order my food and I give |
| 2:48.4 | on my card and he's like, oh, the credit card machines are working. And I was like, oh, you should have told me |
| 2:53.5 | because I wouldn't have ordered food. |
| 2:57.0 | If I had known, because I don't have cash. |
