- 33:30little
- 33:31ways
- 33:31to
- 33:31create
- 33:31them.
- 33:32But
- 33:32I
- 33:32think
- 33:32the
- 33:32problem
- 33:32is
- 33:33sometimes
- 33:33yeah.
- 33:33People
- 33:33see
- 33:34trends
- 33:34and
- 33:34they
- 33:35just

- 33:35of
- 33:36go
- 33:36for
- 33:36it.
- 33:36It's
- 33:37not
- 33:37necessarily
- 33:38personally
- 33:38relevant
- 33:39to
- 33:39them
- 33:39or
- 33:39particularly
- 33:40meaningful
- 33:41to
- 33:41them.
- 33:41And
- 33:42that's
- 33:42why
- 33:42I
- 33:42think
- 33:42it's
- 33:42when

- 33:43kind

- 33:54that's
- 33:54what
- 33:54it
- 33:54should
- 33:54feel

- 33:55It
- 33:55should
- 33:55feel
- 33:55really
- 33:56personally
