the<00:22:20.880> way<00:22:21.080> I<00:22:21.279> do<00:22:22.200> not<00:22:22.400> just<00:22:22.760> positive<00:22:23.120> emotion
the way I do not just positive emotion
the way I do not just positive emotion
that's<00:22:23.799> not<00:22:24.000> nearly<00:22:24.440> enough<00:22:25.279> there's<00:22:25.679> flow<00:22:26.520> in
