I wasn't like โ so things were sort of like subconscious or whatever like that.
I think I did kind of feel it was a bit โ
like on the nose to be like pointing a camera at other people and like, oh, look at this, these interesting foreigners or whatever.
It just seemed like, and it seemed just more, I was just way more comfortable with throwing myself in there and being part of it all and just, and also I think people, other people appreciated it, that you sort of,
Like on the ground, back then at least, like I got good feedback.
And I think everything I've done since then has been this โ
like sharing kind of like some personal thing, almost like oversharing this personal thing from my past or from my experiences or to sort of like speak to some bigger thing.
And then not a lot of hectoring or conclusions.
I hate conclusions.
Like other conclusions are for someone else.
And I also think if you've got enough, if you've brought enough through the story, why kind of should you have a โ who am I to have a conclusion?
And I also noticed things I really liked when I was really little, I noticed they always had really bad endings.
And I was like, why is that?
Like, you know, there'd be like these Looney Tunes cartoons, like with Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny.
It'd be hilarious the whole way through.
And then the ending was always lame.
And same like Monty Python never has good endings.
So that's also part of it where I'm going to go, I'm going to follow in the rich tradition of good storytelling where it doesn't have good endings.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I can't really go.
