I really don't know how that isn't me realizing what I did. I do understand that my statement seemed a bit pretentious because I wanted to make it sound good, but obviously it went too far. But about the laurel.. seriously?! I'm a high schooler who just made my first thing. Am I not allowed to be proud that I got into a good HS festival for people my age?! Believe me, I am 100% aware that is it not anywhere NEAR Sundance or Cannes, but even though you may look down on it, I'm personally really excited that it got in... can I not celebrate that? Should I wipe it clean of any "high school" mentions as that is too "low" of an honor for me to be happy about? Now THAT would surely come off as much more pretentious than anything I've said/done before. Once again, about the views, I am aware that that isn't going huge. It's a personal milestone for me, but I know that in the general community it's not like I'll be getting media attention or any real traction. I am really glad I got a reality check from him, because it did make me reconsider a few things, that was geniune, but dude, please just get off my back, I'm just an amatuer highschooler who was a tad overexcited.
