Everything is a relationship but you can't solely define yourself in relation to other people. If you're only existing and acknowledging yourself as ______ of, you're not defining yourself in a healthy or true way. In All the Bells Say, we see that Roman's motivation for being a horrible person is because he's not letting Kendall be the worst person in the room. He's horrible on purpose because yes, it can be funny to be horrible. It can also be something for others to base themselves around. As long as Roman's around, other people know they're not the worst in the room anymore. But in the real world, you can't do that shit. You exist independent from your relationships. You need to define yourself as your own person, then you can identify yourself as a person who wants xyz relationships. Roman basing his whole life around being the punching bag is realistically tragic though, so maybe I shouldn't say "the real world". In the best world, you don't do this shit.  "Who hasn't clipped the odd kid with a Porsche, am I right? I mean it's like a rite of passage. I've killed a kid too, big deal." "I mean one waiter down, that makes sense. It took fucking forever to get a drink at her wedding." |
