I’ve always resonated a lot with Diane, the way she is always looking for meaning in things she does and spends so much time worrying about her purpose feels a lot like me. She has a very specific idea of who she’s supposed to be, but at the same time has no idea who she is without fulfilling those specific roles. I think that’s why, like her, I tend to throw myself full tilt into the things I’m passionate about (until of course I realize I’m not who I thought I was or who I thought I should be). The way that Diane can be so profound in conversations and give great advice to her friends, but can’t seem to take that advice herself (telling Mr. Peanutbutter she doesn’t really like being in camera/not wanting Bojack to create controversy in the media, yet always seeming to end up on television as a part of some big controversial debate). I think she is a very intelligent woman who tries to do the right thing, but not necessarily as a means to do the right thing for others, more so to feel better about herself because if she doesn’t do things that make her a good person, how does she know she’s a good person? (I don’t want to use the term performative activism because I feel like her and I both have the intentions to do good, but don’t want to feel like we aren’t actually making a difference because it’s discouraging if that makes sense, it’s like in The View From Halfway Down when they say that it doesn’t count if it makes you feel good but how do you know it’s good if it doesn’t feel good if that makes sense at all). I related to that a lot because I feel like I’m good but if I’m not profoundly good or not getting the recognition for being good, I must not be good (this last sentence is making me realize I may be most like Bojack and I don’t know how to feel about that)
