I just really thought, like, because the dog would be affectionate with me, but I just thought, like, well, of course you're affectionate with me. Like, you don't know anybody in New York except me and her. Like, you know what I mean? Like, you don't know anybody. Like, I'm one of two people you know. Yeah, you have to be nice to me. But with this little boy, just very early on, it just got to me.

I mean, I always really loved kids. I just hadn't had the experience of living with a kid. Did it change me at all? It did change me, yeah. It did change me. Like, it made me a lot more awake to what all the people in my life are going through who have kids. I think I was really insensitive about it. Like, I understood the idea of it, but I think I wasn't sensitive to the feeling of it.

And it's just, like, such a weird combination of, like, labor and affection. And, yeah, like, it made me... In the way that going through something makes you just more awake to what everybody else is experiencing who goes through it. I'm glad I know that.

I mean, I really don't hold much value in the idea of what you leave behind. I don't think it matters because you don't exist anymore. Like, I have a very, like, I have, like, the most primitive... view of it that I can't defend, but I just feel like it really doesn't matter once I don't exist. I mean, maybe if I had kids, I would see that differently.

Like I want the world to keep spinning and I want things to be okay for people. And I want, you know, I think the world not to head towards catastrophe because in just the abstract way, like I care about the people of the future and the way I care about anybody who I don't know, you know, but like, But really, like, who cares? Like, honestly, who cares?
