I finally got around to watching it and what a beautiful and terrifying experience. It can definitely be seen as an allegory for when a transgender person experiences the moment in which they realize that their identity doesn’t correspond or coincide with their assigned gender. A journey of self-discovery but also with a reminder that time doesn’t wait for no one and that we can all get stuck in a place of existential dread/crisis.
The soundtrack is amazing as well.

I just watched this movie and it was so cool and nostalgic at the same time. It is at times watching a movie within a movie and it is set in the 90s. It also touches on queer/ LGBTQ of do you accept yourself or do you hide who you are.

It really hit close to home, after watching I felt so many emotions all at once. I don’t want to give it away but I (unfortunately) related with the main character too much. Does that ever happen to anyone after a movie?

That simple quote has stuck with me ever since I first heard it. To me it says that we have to face our present challenges in life head on, that it will be difficult but we have to embrace the chaos and put in the effort if we want to get to our ideal place. Change takes effort and things do get better with time and we should always remind ourselves to learn to dance in the rain. Yes, we can be crying for the moon about how we feel unfulfilled but we have to at least try and live in the moment and plan/dream of better days.

2024 started off terrible for me. I was working a terrible job (night shift) and felt like I had no friends. I was miserable and hated life and compared myself to everyone and their mother. In May I started a new job that I deeply enjoy, made some amazing new friends, became closer with the friends that have stuck by me and like ”cousin” at 24 years old I have fallen in love with living.
