It’s funny. I’m trying to think how to say this... The experience happens, and you feel inspired, and then as time goes on, it is almost like the experience changes in hindsight.

I love it, I can’t wait to get back in it when the world allows for it again, but, yes, I just hadn’t realized how taken away with it I got. Reality becomes strange, especially because we turn into these alter egos when we are on stage.
