You know what I'm saying. I stopped using 42 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: particular words in my actual life because the things I 43 00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 2: learned from people with different backgrounds through social media, you 44 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: know what I mean. I was inspired by what people 45 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: did on Instagram, you know, artistically, and I was following 46 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 2: by a lot of artists and that moved me and 47 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 2: pushed me in particular ways. But now everything is very 48 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: homogeneous on on on Instagram, and everything's so fucking negative 49 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 2: on Twitter. It's just like dog like, why am I 50 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 2: still here? Why am I still here? What is it? 51 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: And I just realized, like, yo, like I looked in 52 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 2: the mirror, you have a sickness.
