Meaning

This points to the exposure that comes with doing work in public, especially when you are still learning. Bateman frames mistakes as unavoidable and visible, not as proof of failure, but as part of growing up under watchful eyes. It lands for anyone who has felt embarrassed by a clumsy start, yet had to keep going because the only way forward was to keep trying.
