There's a kind of deep connection, and it lingers with you, especially when I'm preparing.
The more material there is in a person, the more you get to fall in love with them ahead of time.
You get to really understand—not understand, but—
What I mean by fall in love is- Well, appreciate, huh?
Appreciate, but also become deeply curious.
That's what I mean by fall in love.
You appreciate the things you know, but you start to see, like Alice in Wonderland, you start to see that there's all this cool stuff you can learn if you keep interacting with them.
And then when you show up and you actually meet, you realize it's like more and more and more and more.
It's like in physics.
The more you learn, the more you realize you don't know.
And it's like-
It's really exciting.
And then it can also be heartbreaking because you have to say goodbye.
I hate goodbyes.
I hate goodbyes.
Seems terminal, right?
It reminds me that I'm going to die one day.
Like, things end.
