No, but, like, being, like, celebrated for something where I was trying to, like, find, like, meaning in my good life. And now my life got, like, let's say 3% or 4% better because of the movie. People like it. And now I don't even know what to do. Yes. So are you happier? No, that's what I'm saying. Not at all. Just not even 3% happier? No, no, because the abyss got bigger.

And for just some reason, the world loves that person and doesn't like me. And a lot of that just has to do with that that person seems, like, real. You know? And so I think about people all the time like that. And I think, like, I'm so envious. I wish I could light up a room like that. But then... I get home to my relatively stable life, and I wonder, like, what those people are doing now.

Like, what happens when the music turns off, and what are they left with when they're alone? And it makes my envy turn into something like sympathy, you know? And that's kind of what this movie is. Like, you're kind of annoyed by this character that Kieran plays, but by the end, hopefully, kind of, like, brokenhearted about who this person is and what they have to deal with when they're alone.
