Celebrity sells. It's not the easiest part of this job, but it enables what we do. I couldn't have funded my projects without that aspect of it. I couldn't have bought my mother a house. I won't pretend that all of my motives are selfless, but being famous allows me to try to be a role model for others, especially if I can demonstrate that punching isn't the only way to fix the world.

This girl doesn't actually care about our motives. If she did, she'd understand that the world isn't about absolutes. She's passing judgment because she thinks she has the moral high ground.

No, of course, she's evidently in the wrong - and at the very least in the legal sense. ~~But why~~ I'm evidently speaking from a place of great privilege as Starlight's daughter. So. I've never had to think about that before, how the financial benefits enable platforms for a greater purpose or provide for the people we love.

I just suppose I wished it carried far less... attention. But maybe I'm whining. You can tell me if I'm whining.

You're not whining, Charlie. Celebrity and fame isn't for everyone, trust me — Caleb feels the same. And even for those who started out craving it, it can become a burden eventually. We certainly didn't all get into this business for the same reasons. Your legacy carries quite a bit of pressure.

I think it's important not to forget that you have the power to shape your own life towards your own goals. Once you figure out what they are, you figure out how to make them happen. One step at a time.
