00:00I see myself and to me it looks just like a ball of fun even when I'm feeling down I can go to my
00:06own page and watch my videos and I'm like damn this is you like what are you doing looking sad
00:10right now like for real what's the deal I'm Amber Wagner and I feel seen
00:15to me just maybe it's the same person as Amber Wagner you know what I'm saying some people
00:25would say that I'm different but I say I'm the same person because I don't really change that
00:28much like the same way I would act on social media when you catch me in the
00:31street it's the same thing it's nothing different the concept of being seen to me
00:36I guess having all eyes on you being so bright in your own way in your own life
00:42that other people just notice you and it just pops out that's what being seen is
00:46to me the moment that thrust me into the spotlight was when I was doing a video
00:51outside in a parking lot I had a sucker and it was random and I was just having a
00:55great day if you ain't having a good day sit there and ask yourself why that one
01:01right there is the one that just brought me out to the world that person started
01:05off as no motive I was just doing videos but now as more people cling to me and
01:09ask for advice and just tell me how I lift them up and how they need my videos
01:13every day my motive right now is just to inspire I definitely celebrate myself even
01:18when I ain't doing nothing I'm still celebrating myself you put your lashes all even
01:22my celebration can be simply looking in the mirror saying damn you look good okay
01:28you did that today okay you got up you made it happen or it could be a celebration
