A friend of mine ran into Keanu Reeves while he was taking a break just outside a movie set. Said he was happy to talk to them, was super down to Earth and was genuinely interested in talking with them, not just at them.

I know this isnt the question, but in a thread like this, I just love Keanu for what a great contrast he is to all these jerks, lol.

You know those people who always seem to have some crazy thing happening in their life and it seems absolutely unbelievable? They take a Lyft and the driver gets road rage and stops in the middle of the freeway. Their HVAC breaks and as soon as they pay it off they have to replace all their pipes and as soon as they pay that off they have to replace their roof and as soon as they pay that off… During Covid they quarantined and meticulously cleaned and then got COVID the first time they left the house. They got a new job and their dog gave birth live while they were giving a presentation so they delivered puppies while presenting.


It all sounds like utter BS until you are that person and then it feels like a curse. No one believes you until they are in the audience of the presentation, in the Lyft when the driver wigs out, at your place when the house falls apart comically, etc.


It’s constantly one thing after another. You become nervous when things start to go well because it never seems to last long. The moment the knot in your stomach goes away is when everything falls apart. Everyone assumes you are making it up, you are the problem, or you are the unluckiest person alive, but in the end, no one really wants to be around walking chaos.
