  Let me set the scene for you.

• 00:01

  It's 2016.

• 00:03

  I'm 15 years old, and for the first time, I'm realizing that life is challenging.

• 00:11

  The boys I like don't like me back.

• 00:14

  I'm drowning in homework.

• 00:16

  I don't really like my friend group.

• 00:19

  I'm worried I won't pass my driver's test.

• 00:22

  I'm realizing that life is full of challenges, and for the first time, I'm really aware of it.

• 00:30

  Simultaneously, I'm falling in love with Pinterest, and I'm becoming obsessed with inspirational quotes.

• 00:38

  I'm addicted to reading inspirational quotes, and I'm addicted to pinning them to my Pinterest board in hopes of building this archive of wise words that I can lean on during these trying times.

• 00:53

  I'm having sort of a philosophical awakening, or I think I am.

• 00:58

  I'm experiencing challenges, and I'm seeking answers through wise words.

• 01:04

  For the first time, I feel present, and being present is kind of painful.

• 01:11

  Now, imagine during this time, someone comes up to me and says, hey, emma, what's your favorite quote?

• 01:17

  What's the quote that you live by now?

• 01:22

  You would think because during this time, I was going through a philosophical awakening, that my answer would be deeply profound and heavily thought out.

• 01:35

  Well, my answer would have been, everything happens for a reason.

• 01:40

  Why would that have been my answer?

• 01:43

  Because during that time, that quote answered all the questions that I needed answered.

• 01:48

  My challenges at the time were painfully simple in retrospect.
