Carmy shares his struggles with change and the realization that he has lost the ability to have fun. He reflects on his need for consistency while questioning if his rigid lifestyle is preventing him from truly living.
CARMY: Hi. Carmy. I’ve, um, actually been dealing a lot with change.
I was focusing on keeping my side of the street clean, and feeling really good about it. But now... everything’s different.
It’s going to be good change but... I like consistency. You know?
But maybe I also need consistency... too much.
