11:34 My life has been different from what I imagined.

11:53 My life has been dangerous.

12:04 All I was thinking like, well, when I was little I really didn't even like

12:12 Go outside with my mom was like real strict. So I really couldn't like go outside because it was even though I did really want just one of us sometimes but it was like not really.

12:30 So, I was always think alike. I could never go out with the other kid.

12:37 Now that I didn't get older is like all that fussing and stuff really outside, really since all of the stuff that's going on. Now. It's really like it was really like I'm not going cuz I could when I was little I could have just went outside like going places, but I can just say that

13:01 Now since I'm older, I see that how life is.

13:07 Really outside really didn't even really matter cuz, you know, you got stuff. You got to be where you want to be in life. And it's not really all about, like, going outside doing stuff, like I do starting something, but make sure you always do like the everything that you need to do. Like that's important first.

13:44 I didn't send them.

13:51 It's somebody loud outside but then they left right. When I went out.

14:07 I am.
