MONTAGE
a mixture of Shots of the characters actions, facial
expressions, and locations

MAIN CHARACTER (V.O.)

I even don't know if I'm ready to grow up, everything seems so


different now. Everyone seems to have a plan or a goal yet I'm
just here. those childhood memories seem so distant, I miss
those times when everything was just so simple. I just wish I
could get that feeling of discovering something new and
interesting again, but (Inhale) now it all just feel the same.
I always use to be so excited to try new things, and yet now
I'm too scared to fail, to let people down. when did the fear
that I'm not good start to dawn on me, I just wish I could be
a kid again and not have to worry about growing up? I keep
telling myself that anyone could do this, But I know I'm just
another person out of a billion others. I feel like I do so
much more than others but don't even get half the recognition,
I'm basically a ghost to everyone, just transparent. It's
funny how a pretty face can get you far in life, they always
seem to be the lucky ones who can get whatever they want. I
just feel so replaceable, everyone always seems to do things
so much better than me (Inhale, slowly) no matter how hard I
try. Maybe I'm not living right, I wonder what would happen if
I just disappeared if anyone would notice. Maybe I really am
good at faking happiness to be notice, or maybe they just
don't care. sometimes I really do question what it means to be
alive, is it just repeating every day the same or is there
something more to it. I wonder if I'll ever find an answered
while living.
Sigh
I don't know I could just be overthinking everything.
