What if the people who i disagreed with are not being real by memorizing other people script before having that conversation with me? It means that they couldn't learn anything about themselves if they don't have that confidence in expressing their own chosen words with me. In fact, i don't feel that honesty or freedom if i have to follow anyone's manuscript. I just want to be myself because i am not an actor.

Pretty impactful - much needed inspiration 🙏🏼
