Like last episode was a story time of what happened on like my Halloween weekend,

0:26.4

Halloween type of thing. And it was just like a super fun, light-hearted, you know,

0:30.9

story time type of episode, but there is some things that have been happening

0:35.0

like in my life personally like mentally and you know socially that I kind of want to

0:40.4

dive in deeper with and like talk to you guys about them because I feel like I haven't really opened up in a while since we had all the Europe episodes and then we had the Halloween

0:50.0

episode so I feel like I need to just sit down and spill how I've been feeling and hopefully be able to you know talk about some things that you guys are going to be able to relate to because I feel like the things I'm going to be talking about and some of the things that I've been feeling and experiencing are sorry my hair is like bothering me right now really bad that's why I keep touching it if you're watching visually

1:10.1

I feel like a lot of things I've been feeling are very universal feeling and it's not the first time that I've felt I'm like literally so like cuddled cuddled no what swaddled swaddled no what the fuck I don't know I'm just like I have my blanket and I look so

1:26.9

1:58.4

analyze it and figure out why I'm feeling that way and also figure out like a way to make myself feel better so I feel like that's more useful than just like coming on here and complaining about the way that I've been feeling and then not have anything to like you know give you like solutions or advice on how to deal with those type of feelings so that's what
