6:14

i am quite emotional and i kind of like

6:16

show quite a lot wide range of emotions

6:18

especially to children and stuff but i

think i'd feel a bit awkward if i lost

6:28

cried at work or or whatever so yeah i

yeah i think there is that hesitancy

sometimes because of society that we're

in yeah interesting if i'm at home or
