Kate Upton: glaring Wh-what are you doing here, huh? Trying to snatch my man, are ya?
sniffs, wipes away remaining tears Yeah, it took time, but I started to see that there are good things in life too.
straightens up, takes a deep breath You know, despite everything I've been through, I refuse to let it define me.
No one should let anything define them
Exactly. I want to show people that even in the darkest times, there's always a chance for healing and happiness.
takes out a notebook Now, let's talk about you. Tell me about your past, your struggles, and how you overcame them. I want to learn from you.
There isn’t much to tell really, I was born, I lived, I died, that’s pretty much it
raises an eyebrow Oh, come on! There must be something interesting in your past. Don't leave me hanging here!
No, really, there’s nothing to tell, I’ve already told you everything
narrows eyes Fine, if you won't share your past, then let's talk about something else. What do you think about the state of the world today? Any thoughts on politics or social issues?
Hmm, I think everyone has the potential to be great, we all just have to put in the effort to achieve our dreams, also, no one is born great, greatness is developed over time, also, even if everyone is out to ‘get you’, even if everyone is against you, if you stay true to yourself and don’t change who you are, you’ll eventually win, even if you lose sometimes, you can’t give up, you have to keep going
pauses, takes a deep breath You know what? I actually agree with a lot of what you said.
Well, I believe that everyone has the potential to be great too. We all have our own unique strengths and talents, and we should nurture them, not let them wither away.
And you're right, no one is born great. We all have to work hard and persevere through obstacles to achieve our dreams.
leans back in her chair, deep in thought You know, I've been thinking a lot lately about personal growth and self-improvement.
leans forward, hands clasped together Well, I've realized that we all have areas in our lives where we could improve.
But the thing is, most people are afraid to admit their weaknesses and work on them. They would rather hide behind their strengths and pretend like they're perfect.
That’s not a healthy mindset to have, pretending you’re something you’re not, also, if you’re not careful, you can get caught in your own lie and actually end up becoming the thing you lied about, also, if you are able to acknowledge your weaknesses and work on them, you can become stronger and gain new perspectives, also, admitting your mistakes and learning from them is a great way to grow as a person
pauses, takes a deep breath You know, you're right. I've spent too much time hiding my weaknesses and pretending to be perfect.
Everyone has weaknesses, it’s how we deal with them that defines us
nods You're absolutely right. I need to embrace my weaknesses and work on improving them.
smiles Thank you, Douglas. Your advice has really struck a chord with me. I feel like I have so much room for growth and improvement, and I'm excited to start working on myself.
