Your needs come last, your dreams get buried underneath everyone else's, and you should be happy like that.

You should have a smile on your face.

All the brownies for the bake sale need to be, you know, homemade.

You know, make every soccer practice and PTA meeting or you're to be judged by the other moms.

And I was turning myself into a pretzel trying to abide by this archaic narrative.

And everywhere you turn, it's being sold to you, whether it's film, movies, art.

I mean, even, you know—

not to go back to sex life, but even sexually speaking, like women's sexuality was placed last.

You know, it's like we are here to service men.

That's what has always been shown.

Yeah, the material is very different.

I remember hearing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

And it's just, you know, I felt like the first season of that show did such a beautiful job of raw storytelling.

It was just like real, like real,

very connective, heartfelt storytelling.

Like it really did a great job of telling the stories that are always in people's minds.

You know what I mean?

So, yeah, things that are people, people are constantly thinking like fantasy versus stability, you know, like all of it, all of it, just having the courage to question your reality.
