68. Being Me

Being Me
not everyone gets it.
i am who i am. i can't help it.
think introverts are weird?
then you prolly aren't one Lol
how could you even start to figure us (introverts) out? don't blame you though. but there's so much drama when you can't figure me out. i don't need drama, i don't want drama. i'd rather be alone. like seriously, i'm telling it as it is. if you don't believe me, i can't help you there.
sometimes we get it.
sometimes we don't.
sometimes words can't tell it as it is.
sometimes words say it all.
(Main Character) Riggan:
Listen to me. I'm trying to do something important. (Daughter) Sam:
This is not important. Riggan:
It's important to me! Alright? Maybe not to you, or your cynical friends whose only ambition is to go viral. But to me... To me... this is - God. This is my career, this is my chance to do some work that actually means something. Sam:
Means something to who? You had a career before the third comic book movie, before people began to forget who was inside the bird costume. You're doing a play based on a book that was written sixty years ago, for a thousand rich old white people whose only real concern is gonna be where they go to have their cake and coffee when it's over - and let's face it, Dad, it's not for the sake of art. It's because you want to feel relevant again. Well, there's a whole world out there where people fight to be relevant every day. And you act like it doesn't even exist! Things are happening in a place that you wilfully ignore, a place that has already forgotten you. I mean, who are you? You hate bloggers. You make fun of Twitter. You don't even have a Facebook page. You're the one who doesn't exist. You're doing this because you're scared to death, like the rest of us, that you don't matter. And you know what? You're right. You don't. It's not important. You're not important. Get used to it.
