I'm

going to

go to the next episode of the video.

Re-invention is like looking at a ball.

And you've been looking at this ball head on for a while now.

And you're getting bored.

So you simply walk to another side and look at it from there.

The ball stays the same, but how you're seeing it changes.

Maybe you decide to walk around or get up on your tiptoes, look at it from above, look at it from below.

Maybe you pick up the ball.

you throw it, set it on fire, anything but destroy it I guess.

Reinvention.

Well I mean if you're constantly reinventing yourself you have to ask who who's the person conducting all that?

Who's behind the scenes?

That person is you.

That's your true self everything else seems wrong

or dishonest manipulative I mean like I want to be an absolute

if I have identities it's

because I want to learn about me through them you know

over my life I want to take my truth from those identities

so I guess you have to change right of course you

have to change I guess for some time you have to

be like false I guess you lie to yourself to

find yourself really what I what I think I'm grappling with

is even from the beginning how do you not already have all

that you are you know like how do you just not

already know it's like piecing a puzzle together sure like over your life

but what's what's all that empty space in between the pieces

that void that what fills that space like a lie error error

i don't like the feeling of being passed over

you know reinvention keeps you young you never die you're everyone that anyone ever wanted

but they can also they can never have you you know as soon as you shift they lose you

it's kind of sad because you as the artist you never lose anyone But they lose you.

It's kind of sadistic, you know, to abandon people like that.

Apathetic.

I mean, I guess in my life, I've only ever been passing through.

after a

while I feel like it's hard to invent to reinvent you

know one form one way of being kind of clings to you and it won't let you go either it stays

as a welcome or uninvited guest.

That's not the personas.

That's you.

I mean, right?

That's the most logical way to think about it.

But I don't see it that way.

I believe in the truth of abundance.

I believe in multiple selves.

I don't think that's dishonest at all.

I think the dishonesty comes whenever you wear a mask out of laziness not inspiration you take not to learn

but to avoid I remember whenever I was younger like in

high school I used to pretend to be different characters from films

that loved like if I got detention I got detention one time for something really stupid

and so the day

that I had detention I decided to dress like Ingrid Magnussen from white oleander

and and wear this like all like like denim blue outfit like she like what she was wearing in prison

and you know that gave me strength it's a costume

but there was me in it I was Ingrid I am sometimes I

got strength I get strength from those personas from reinvention you know

channeling yourself through these different people even if they aren't me

even if I was trying to be someone else I chose them it shows those characters for a reason right

so I guess that selection that choice you know is indicative of some truth

that I possess that's already mine you know why those characters why not someone else why did I pick them

and not like mrs. honey Matilda why didn't

I pick Cruella de Vil why not them why Ingrid

there's truth in that choice there's this really great Frank Ocean song

there's this really great line in it it goes

I've been living in an idea an idea from another man's mind you know like What about all of the selves?

You know, like what about all of the selves that you can't be held accountable for?

You know, like all the loss, all the things lost in translation.

When someone like incorrectly typifies you and you know that they've misjudged you.

What about that?

even if think about this even if what they're saying is positive

do you take responsibility for it like if it's not if you don't think it's true

you know think about all of the good

that has happened at least i like to think of it like this think about all of the good

that has happened from

a mistranslation or misunderstanding and people like to focus on the bad stuff

but like good things happen too no I don't know I guess you could argue

that the self isn't real that the only thing that can be real to sentient beings is

illusion sentience sentience itself is illusion protection the more

selves the more fragments the more protected you are I guess in a more light-hearted way

more carefree, joyous.

There's a really great line, actually, from Anais Nin's House of Incest.

She wrote, I can't tell the truth because I would have to write four pages at once,

four columns simultaneously.

Are you implying that lying is the only way to go about things?

I'm implying that things change.

And that's a good thing.

What you choose is more than empty space.

It's more than error.

What I guess I'm trying to say is that the error doesn't define you.

What is not you in those characters doesn't define you.

The lie of it doesn't define you, that you are not them.

The choice defines you.

What about the wrong choices?

Choices that negatively affect other people?

Well, I think we know numerous examples of people who had good intentions, and a lot of people got hurt.

You know, think about all the people who just never realized, like, in their lifetime that their idol,

100

whether it was an artist or not, politician, scientist, you know, their whole lifetime,

101

they didn't know that they were a bad person, they didn't know that they were a piece of shit, that they beat their wife for, like, more murderer and criminal,

102

or, you know going to the wrong conclusions after reading a

103

bit of text I mean like that's what happened with Walter Pater's conclusion it like set off an entire

104

new like culture of hedonism one could say it was a

105

bad thing it was a great thing for art good things happened from

106

that a new way of life was born like People thought that beauty could be like a religion because of that.

107

But it's because they misread it.

108

You know, somebody else's truth can be brought out by someone's lie.

109

It's still, it's still still a truth it's a reaction there are no false reactions

110

I never I never get lost I have never been lost

111

I know it's cliche to say no matter how things change

112

I always feel like I stay the same I'm still me

113

I don't like find myself emerging from a blackout being like why did I do

114

that not like blackout like drunk blackout I mean that like in a metaphorical way

115

But no matter how uncharacteristic my action is, I conducted it.

116

The act was siphoned through me.

117

If people think that's a problem, it's not really my concern.

118

I mean, in the long run, everyone always ends up the same way.

119

I get scared, yeah?

120

Yeah, of course I do.

121

I get worried.

122

Yeah, I worry that I won't be taken right.

123

Of course I don't want to hurt anybody.

124

Of course I'm not trying to do anything to anyone.

125

I just try to be me and hope that people respect that.

126

They know that I'm like, that I'm trying for them.

127

I'm trying to be honest.

128

But you know, in the long run, we all end up the same way.

129

It's a funny world we live in.

130

You know, I think it just depends on who's telling the story.

131

Who has the mic at a particular point in time.

132

I don't think there's any such privilege of like being fully understood. By everyone.

133

You can't ask people to keep up with you.

134

you just gotta hold on to the people that will.

135

I mean, in the long run, we all end up the same way.

136

I'm sorry.

137

Thank you.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
