0:00.0	Hi, so about, I don't know, two months ago, I was kind of going through it and I know what you're thinking, Emma, you're always going through it.
0:11.0	Like you're always going through it. Yes, yes, I know. I know. I know. Trust me, I'm just as
0:19.1	frustrated as you are. Okay, I wish just as much as you, that a month could go by where something wasn't bothering me.
0:27.0	Listen, we all have the same dream here.
0:34.7	But if I, you know, if I didn't have problems to solve,
