I can't do this... What if I mess up in front of everyone?
Chikker
then make sure to not mess up. it’s not too late to run away
Run away? That's not an option. I've worked so hard for this moment. I have to push through my nerves and give it my all.
Chikker
well don’t expect me to be by your side when you’ll be doing your performance… i’ll be busy making memes to post on social media
That's fine. I'll find a way to calm my nerves and shine on stage. It's my moment to showcase my talent and prove myself.
Chikker
alright man. i wish you luck… not that you’ll need it
