- 13:59paint
- 13:59the
- 13:59background

- 14:15and
- 14:15people
- 14:16block

- 14:21People

- 24:48know,
- 24:49you
- 24:49still
- 24:49will
- 24:50lose

- 24:51as
- 24:51well,
- 24:52you
- 24:52can't
- 24:52possibly

- 24:56happen.
- 24:56And,
- 24:57yeah,
- 24:57it
- 24:58is
- 24:58disappointing,
- 24:58though.
- 24:59It
- 24:59always
- 24:59is.
- 25:00But
- 25:00then
- 25:00you
- 25:00look
- 25:00at
- 25:00all
- 25:01the
- 25:01great
- 25:01stuff

- 25:02it's
- 25:02just
- 25:03the
- 25:03best.
- 25:03Yeah.
- 25:04And

- 25:05door
- 25:05closes,
- 25:05another
- 25:06door
- 25:06opens.
- 25:06I

- 25:07have
- 25:07that
- 25:07mindset
- 25:08as

- 25:09that,
- 25:09okay,
- 25:09we
- 25:10don't
- 25:10understand
- 25:10why
- 25:11that
- 25:11hasn't
- 25:11gone
- 25:11that
- 25:12way
- 25:12this
- 25:12time.
- 25:12It's
- 25:12probably
- 25:13not
- 25:13a
- 25:13reflection
- 25:13on
- 25:14us
- 25:14personally.
- 25:14It's
- 25:15probably
- 25:15something
- 25:15outside
- 25:16of
- 25:16our
- 25:16control.
- 25:17But
- 25:17actually,
- 25:17it
- 25:17may
- 25:17lead
- 25:18to
- 25:18another
- 25:18opportunity.

- 37:53nightmare.
- 37:54Then
- 37:55of
- 37:55course

- 38:03just
- 38:03absolute
- 38:04nightmare.
- 38:04It's
- 38:04so
- 38:05expensive.
- 38:05It's
- 38:06so
- 38:06expensive.
- 38:07But
- 38:07I
- 38:07always
- 38:08wanted
- 38:08to
- 38:09create.
- 38:09And
- 38:10for
- 38:10me
- 38:10it
- 38:10was
- 38:11an
- 38:11absolute
- 38:12no
- 38:12brainer.
- 38:12I

- 38:14sit
- 38:14at
- 38:15home,
- 38:15not
- 38:16be
- 38:16creative.
- 38:17This
- 38:17is
- 38:17what
- 38:17I
- 38:17want
- 38:17to
- 38:18do.
- 38:18But
- 38:19whatever
- 38:19I
- 38:19do,
- 38:20my
- 38:20children
- 38:21can't
- 38:21suffer
- 38:22like
- 38:22they

- 38:22my
- 38:23number
- 38:23one
- 38:23priority
- 38:24and
- 38:24of
- 38:24course
- 38:24my
- 38:24husband.
- 38:25But
- 38:25really,
- 38:25children,
- 38:26they
- 38:26can't
- 38:26look

- 38:28Um,
- 38:28they
- 38:29are
- 38:29my
- 38:29priority.
- 38:30So
- 38:31I

- 38:31want
- 38:31to
- 38:32have
- 38:32an
- 38:32amazing
- 38:32career
- 38:33but
- 38:33neglect
- 38:34my
- 38:34home
- 38:34life.
- 38:35So

- 38:41these
- 38:41events.
- 38:42It
- 38:42definitely
- 38:43gets
- 38:43easier.
- 38:43So
- 38:43anyone

- 38:44young
- 38:44children,
- 38:45I

- 38:54it
- 38:55is
- 38:55so
- 38:56much
- 38:56better
- 38:56because
- 38:57they

- 39:18and
- 39:18thinking,
- 39:18how
