00:00You don't need to be having some existential crisis in your life to need to talk to someone and get something off your chest.

00:12I think there's a lot of little things that stack up and add up and end up weighing people down.

00:18And I think it's easy a lot of the time to sweep it under the rug and avoid it and not address those kind of things.

00:27But I think over time, even little things, even if, like I said, you don't have some big, massive, upsetting event in your life,

00:34there's a lot of little just everyday human frustrations that can start to wear on you.

00:40And I think it's a much more healthy approach to it if you have someone to talk to or multiple people to talk to, hopefully,

00:54that you can relate about things and hopefully someone can offer you wisdom.

01:01I think one of the biggest things is knowing that you're not alone in whatever experience you're going through.

01:09The range of human emotion is broad on the one hand and also on the other hand,

01:16we all kind of got the same stuff going on, the same struggles and the same triumphs and everything.

01:23So I think it's just, it's better if people can come to the realization that everybody else has got something going on too.

01:34And you're not, you know, you're not some special case of sorrow or depression or something.

01:42It's like, we're all going through this and it's better if we can all kind of go through it together.

01:46Don't walk alongside each other and go through it alone.

01:49And you'll look forward and there's no one else in go through it.

01:51I think it's important for everyone for this and whilst the crew has taken,

01:53I think it's better if you can!

01:54That's not true.

01:55Yeah, exactly.

01:56Yeah.

01:57I think that's true.

01:58You guys think that has happened today because you've become so himself.
