The funniest thing about the film is none of them will be remembered. Everyone will be forgotten. There is no point to any of the things that are supposed to matter, and too little attention paid to the... Look, Wordsworth said it best in my favourite poem, "Tintern Abbey." He writes, "The best portions of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love." And so you carry on with hard choices pushed against your breast. Not whether you'll be left by people you love, that's out of your hands, but as to what your response will be to having your worldview first set, then confirmed, over and over and over again, by these sad people in whom you've planted what you've lost, only to see it disappear once more. "I'm a fool," you could say, and you could live in the salt of it, barren and afraid to trust again. Or you could say, "They're a fool," and nurse what's left of you in a warmth you reserve for the people you've taken for granted--who've kept the fire going while you were out there looking for life in the chests of people afraid of dying.

You’ve taught me not to hold back and fight. Not to just take it when I’ve been wronged. And also that you could gain things by fighting and protesting. Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2022)

You have a knack for leading me to a good place. I ran over because it was you. During the Asian Games. I ran to the airport to interview the referee. I thought about it, and I wouldn’t have gone if it wasn’t you. But I should have gone for anyone. Because I’m a reporter. You made me do what was right for a reporter to do. You always lead me to do what’s right and to a good place. That’s my definition of our relationship. Also known as a rainbow.

I know I’m late, but congratulations. Congratulations!

I need to give you a warning as your girlfriend. I’m going to share everything that’s yours. Your sadness, delight, happiness, despair. Everything. So… don’t hide because things are tough. Make sure to leave my share. If you don’t lean on me, I’ll be lonely.
