I need to be making movies....
A little piece of the play I've been working on:
Woman: You don’t realize how alike we are, do you?
Man: What are you talking about?
Woman: You’ve been fighting all this time trying to love me. I’ve been fighting all this time to stop loving you. We are both exhausted, and hurt, and dead on the inside. I have nothing left to give, and yet I keep reaching deep down inside me. And I just try so hard. It’s ruining my life. It’s ruining your life. Because it’s killing us! Because we are both struggling and fighting to stay afloat! To stay alive!
Man: So why don’t we just give up and stop seeing each other?!
Woman: Because!! (beat) You’re the only other person in this world who can understand what it’s like to be dead on the inside.
