I hate Vivid Sydney.  APPLAUSE APPLAUSE APPLAUSE Now if you don't know what Vivid is, it's called the Festival of Lights and it's where people travel in far and wide for what is essentially a Microsoft Windows Media Player visualiser.

LAUGHTER Like the only silver lining of COVID happening was that Vivid got cancelled.

LAUGHTER Now to unpack exactly why I hate Vivid so much, we've got a flashback to when I was 19.

My parents decide to go away on a vacation, which means I get the house to myself.

And because I'm all by myself and I'm alone and I have this whole house, I decide that I'm going to meet up with a boy.

LAUGHTER So I download Tinder and I play a little game with myself.

I'm like, I will meet up with the first boy who messages me.

It's alright, I'm alive.  40 minutes later I'm in an apartment in the northern beaches of Sydney.

He also has sparkly blue eyes and he wears boat shoes, which I usually find obnoxious.

Now I have a pretty nice time with him, so we meet up a few more times after.

Alex lives in the northern beaches of Sydney.

And after a little bit more time, we're hanging out like semi-regularly.

And after a little bit more time, we're official.

And because this is in the 2010s, we celebrate by becoming Facebook friends.

Now, I don't really understand why I hadn't seen Alex's Facebook profile before.

Like, he says he's bad with technology or something, but that doesn't matter now.

So naturally, I stalk through all of his Facebook photos.

And in one of his pictures, he's with an Asian girl.

But I overlook this, and I stay with him.

And then six months into our relationship, he gets tagged in a photo with another Asian girl.

And now Vivid to me is no longer the festival of lights.

The projections represent illusion, deceit, emptiness.

She's an international student who needs a visa.

And we're only pretending to be a couple.

And in exchange, she is giving me $20,000.

This is how you know Asian women have made it.

Where once white guys bought Asian women, now Asian women are buying white guys.

Like, fuck Jodie, but also go Asian women.

So I tell Alex that I'm appalled and I'm angry and I'm upset.

But I'm going to stay with him and work through this with him.

Because I feel like we've got something special.

Jodie goes through all of our messages together.

There is one point where I am emailing Alex just so we can figure out a time and place to meet up without her having to find out.

I also start to become suspicious of Alex.

Because he no longer wants to have sex with me.

And that's really weird for a 19 year old boy with a giant anime porn collection.

So I confront him and I'm like are you sleeping with her?

And after a little bit more prodding he says yes.

Now there were so many thoughts that were running through my mind at this stage like I've just been cheated on.

But then there were other thoughts that ran through my mind like you're worthless and you're not enough.

Because if you were enough then he never would have gone behind your back and cheated on you and done all these things with Jodie.

And like these thoughts just keep circling around and I am crying uncontrollably in my own little private moment trying to stop myself.

Only to realise this entire time I've been sitting on that one seat of the train that faces all the other seats.

Now there's a lot that I take away from this story and there's a lot that I've learnt.

And one of the lessons is that sometimes the bright, shiny beautiful things in life can be covering up the bullshit.
