Isolated Romance
In Isolated Romance, what starts off as a conflicted inner issue of a writer’s popularity, leads to potential love.
VICTOR: I don’t want people pulling my arm for a photo and screaming my name. I just want to do my work. My work! That’s it. All this other sh’t is redundant for me and for the person who wants my attention. They think it’s important, but it’s not; it’s just a fading picture on some social media account, and it doesn’t matter.
I try to rationalize it to myself without sounding like such a selfish pr’k because I want to give people what they want because I care, but at what cost? I’m not a people pleaser, you know; I want to help out, but at what cost? This is what I mean; I’m in constant conflict. That’s why I keep a low profile, and you know this already about me, but I can’t stop living my life. If I want to go out for a beer with a friend, I should be able to do that without worrying about being watched or followed, and that’s why I wear these fk’n hoodies and hats—’cause I don’t get no privacy anymore. None!
Listen, I try to make people happy or content because I’m trying to connect us all to one another; that’s where it really matters for me. But I didn’t sign up for all this other stuff. It can be nice, but at the same time, it can be painful.
