Summary

This quote expresses the speaker's initial attempt to escape from their sorrows by engaging in destructive behavior, possibly through substance abuse or risky activities. However, their sorrows and negative emotions proved resilient and unable to be truly drowned or ignored. Instead of finding solace in this escape, the speaker ironically finds themselves overwhelmed by an unexpected, positive emotion. It highlights the sometimes unpredictable and paradoxical nature of emotions, as well as the need to confront and address one's sorrows rather than trying to circumvent them.

I love film and TV, the medium of them, just because it's such a smaller screen. It's much more precise. Ideally, I'd like to do maybe a film a year of some sort and use that to work more in the theatre because theatre really is my first love.
