I just got to watch an amazing scene on a Netflix show where there's a girl who's been raised up out of a difficult situation but deep down she's afraid that maybe she's

a fraud and then there's this other character who we don't know very well who is definitely a fraud.

And he calls her out and it's clear that it cuts to the bone for her because nobody wants to be called a

fraud.

But then she flips it around and calls him out on his being a fraud and it gets really

through the armor for him and he becomes very threatened and the whole thing escalates

and it was a magnificent scene and it reminds me that is why

I like programs that I know some of you don't like because they tend to get into

some of the things that are darker and more complex and more redemptive about people in ways that shows

that are just trying not to offend I don't think do quite as well. Once again this is a place where I understand

that some people are going to see this one that some people are going to see this one way, some people are going to see this another way.

Thank you for liking me even though I like programming that is occasionally a little bit dark.

I do have my reasons. Here's the thing though, the fraud aspect is what stood out and as I'm

sitting there watching this masterfully constructed scene, you know what I'm

feeling? All the ways that I might be a fraud, because I might be a fraud. I mean doesn't that cross your mind

still? It doesn't matter how old you are or how much you've done. At some point you still feel like a

vulnerable little kid that just doesn't know what they're doing

and doesn't belong in the place that they are.

And it's very, very easy for the right words or the right situation to cut through the

armor and get down to that part of us that is always

afraid that something about us is a fake, but there is a way to kill it, right?

You've seen people who've killed that.
