And, like, in my movie, Girls Like Girls, with Sonia, like, her...

She says hurtful things.

She's navigating something that she has never experienced before.

And so Koli becomes the victim of her inexperience.

But that also there's a fine line of being a bad person and just a person who's never experienced this before and then be able to acknowledge that and take accountability for those actions and try to be better.

You know, like I think there's a fine line.

Like you're out.

She's not the one.

She's not the one.

And maybe she'll get to a place where she loves herself because it's really it comes down to self-love.

You know, she this girl doesn't love herself enough to therefore turn on the person that she does love because she turns on herself.

That's it.

I mean, social pressures.

I grew up in Los Angeles, California, and people live in way less liberal areas than I do.

And I still had such a hard time navigating my queerness because of what people would think, what people will say.

It's like you're just raised to care about what people think of you.

And it's really hard to break through that.

You know, you have to put a lot of energy into that to get through.

Never thought I was going to, yeah.

Yeah, and again, not to sound like a broken record, but it goes back to representation, right?
