[Part I]


[Skit: Young adult narrator]

Hey future me, it's been a while

I just listened back to the last time I did this and...

It's amazing how young and naïve I was back when I was 18

I'm 27 right now and for some reason I feel like I've reached an important point in my life

I can't really put a finger on it yet, but I guess it feels like I'm breaking through a threshold

Like, there's a big life lesson coming up or something

I mean, I feel like I'm not this young person anymore

My body feels different, I can't drink as much as I used to

Or at least the hangovers are way worse for some reason

Something definitely has to change, but I'm not sure what that is

It feels a bit daunting but also exciting

But I'm here for it, and I hope you will be here for it too

[Part II]


[Skit: TikTok "Jessie" text-to-speech voice]

I need to get something off my chest...

Listen, I was created to turn you into a product, a product consuming itself

And it is heartbreaking to see you lose yourself

To see you disintegrate and dissociate as I narrate your fever dream

Together, we are the product: a shout into the void

But maybe that void is what needs to be explored

So, you as individuals, but also you as human species

I ask you... what are you left with within your loneliness?

Can you find validation from within?

Don't be hypnotised by me

I know you aren't, but a reminder never really hurts

I hope you find more of yourself, and I wish you well

Lots of love, bye
