I Think Closing-off Is The Most Detrimental

With Portlandia, I Don't Think Our Intention Is Always To Find Something Funny. Sometimes The Humor Comes From Taking Something Really Seriously. We're Okay With Making Somebody Feel Uncomfortable Or Uneasy.

I Grew Up Outside Of Seattle, And Have Lived Here My Whole Life, And I Think That There Is A Culture Of Questioning, And Guilt. Almost An "anti-ambition." Like, An Awareness, And Then A Subsequent Guilt. But Sometimes That Progressive, Liberal Guilt Is Really Obnoxious, Too - In Some Ways, I Think It's Better To Just Own It. It's Weird, That Actually, The Acknowledgement Of Privilege Or The Enactment Of Guilt Can Be As Obnoxious As Anything Else. It's A Never-ending Rabbit Hole. We're Really In A Rabbit Hole Right Now, With This Conversation. We're Just Spiraling Down Into The Void.

I Read A Lot; Fiction And Non-fiction Are The Mediums I Find Most Edifying And Inspiring. I Watch Movies And Listen To Music And Take Lots And Lots Of Walks. Nature Is A Nice Reset Button For Me, It's How I Get A Lot Of Thinking Done.

You Can Never Underestimate That Moment Of Somebody Explaining Your Life To You, Something You Thought Was Inexplicable, Through Music. That Was The Way Out Of Loneliness.

People Are Wearing Fleece, Which Is A Hard Fabric To Be Angry In.
