A short YouTube monologue (uploaded by Chad Silverstein, Apr 7, 2024) reflecting on how cultural expectations—school, work, ‘keeping up’—can suppress individuality and energy. The speaker argues that practice (presumably in an artistic or developmental sense) is mentally draining but valuable because it wakes people up: it reveals hidden restraints, fosters self-awareness, and encourages speaking about what holds them back.

So you might need to completely physically kill yourself and have no life, but just keep going through the motions. And I feel like practice is where, you know, the point of practice is to wake you up and have you talk about the things that you don't realize are holding you back, but are holding you back.
