A two-season fairy tale.

You know, like my, you know, I was not plagued by the what-ifs of the past, you know, the way Billie was.

But the ways in which I really resonated with her is I just felt like I wasn't living...

in my highest truth.

I was not living a life that I felt like I was meant to live.

Like, I had an appetite for something that was much bigger than what I was playing out, you know?

And those are the ways in which I really resonated with her.

And I just felt like

Playing her gave me the courage to just question all of those things that I was too scared to question in the past.

Just how did you do it?

How did you have the courage?

You know, because I think there's an interesting phenomenon about courage, right?

where people think that courage is doing something without fear.

But what I have learned is that that's not the case.

You have to carry your fear along with you.

You know, it's like, it's silly to say, don't be afraid of making a gigantic change, right?

Or not to be afraid.

Like everyone's fear factor is so different, right?
