when did everything get so serious? seems like half a breath ago we played and smoked we talked and fought untouchable. but the expositions over, now the conflict begins as we're heading up our arc of suspense. as our self worth starts dropping through constant comparison of our backstage with their performance, we start getting beaten and we start thinking that we deserve to get beaten. as our cheating and lying turns from harmful mistakes to just another part in a cyclic self destructive downward spiral, we begin making the unthinkably miserable happen impossibly frequently. so witness live: the loss of another generation to self violence mental health and despair.
