Transcript

00:00 Imagine you had a nightmare where you had to relive your adolescence.

00:09 My memories shine almost like a diamond, but not because I love them, because I hate them.

00:21 When I was a teenager, I would imagine myself falling in love for all my crushes.

00:28 I was trying to be whatever they wanted me to be.

00:31 I was always just acting.

00:33 Roll, please.

00:34 Oh, hi, Joel.

00:35 Uh, who's this?

00:36 Oh, um...

00:37 Cut.

00:38 I think of these recreations as like an emotional exorcism.

00:44 Are you lost?

00:46 I sit there.

00:47 Get out of her seat.

00:48 I am truly haunted by these things, and one of the things that I can't get past is why

00:56 they still bother me.

00:59 The guy organizing the reunion posted this.

01:02 Dress, Winter Park.

01:03 This is like blood red, I'm gonna kill them all.

01:05 Resentment red.

01:06 Resentment red.

01:07 Oh, God.

01:08 The country club.

01:09 I just feel like this is a huge mistake.

01:10 Oh, don't make me go in there.

01:11 I can understand being traumatized, but why you continue all these years later to allow

01:23 them to have all this power over you blows my mind.

01:28 Why would I remember this for 25 years if I didn't know then that it was that bad?

01:33 The paradox of going back is to have to succumb once again to that sense of yourself as totally

01:40 inconsequential.

01:41 So why on earth would I go back?
