Two friends meet up after a long holiday period, to catch up. They are sitting on a park bench.
Jane: So what’s different, what’s changed since the last time?
Cameron: Well i mean, I smoke weed now, smoke trees.
Cameron chuckles while Jane sits quietly.
Jane: How do you feel though?
Cameron: Yeah I know, i wasn’t a fan of it either, like I still really hate smoking, but I just do it for the high. The only thing that I really didn’t like in the past was that when everyone looked at me, all they saw was a stoner, a druggie, nothing more. And i felt like if I did smoke, then that’s all I was gonna be. That if you met me there would be nothing more to me than that.
Jane: I’m not gonna lie, right now your actions kinda’ fit your appearance, like how you look.
Cameron: But then I thought that I’m much more than that, you know?
Cameron: I’m funny, and kinda’ smart, and sensitive, soulful, I’m not tryna’ put myself on a pedestal here but I feel like I’m so much more complicated than just a smoker. When I realised that. It softened the blow. I still don’t like that I smoke now, but I have so many more good qualities that if anything this just makes my character much more complex, and i like that.
Jane: I don’t know if I agree.
If You’re Going To Change, Be Happy With The Change You’re Going To Become. It Took Me So Long To Realise This.
