this movie makes me so emotional even though it’s partly a comedy. as someone who grew up with undiagnosed neurodivergence, the parallels between lars’ experiences and mine is very similar.
the part that makes me emotional is how everyone in the movie treats him. they are so kind and understanding, and allow him to grieve and cope in a way that is most comfortable for him. it’s a reminder that we are all worthy of love and patience, and we shouldn’t settle for any less. one day we will all find our small town that loves and accepts us for who we are.

I love hyper-fixating on shows, movies, music, books, etc., but one of the best feelings is when I feel so connected and immersed with something. it feels like it becomes a part of myself. it might sound cliche to say that about Pearl (the A24 prequel to X starring Mia Goth) where Mia Goth’s monologue changed everything. it humanized her character and made her so much more relatable to me. I’ve heard that people with BPD relate to her character a lot, which is interesting because I’ve done some research on BPD, and characters that have it. I relate to their characters, but I don’t think I relate to them in such a way that I think I have the disorder, it’s just from a place of understanding. for example, I have a fear of abandonment, but how I handle it is different. the most recent movie I’ve felt connected to is May, which I could see people with BPD relating to as well. May is a movie about this woman who the viewers know early on that she’s different. she’s just trying to find someone to match her freak essentially, but without much success. so, she takes it upon herself to take something from each person she knows to build something better for herself. she did feel like she was being strung along after all

SITCOMS because I was rewatching Life in Pieces and the ending hit me harder than the first time. This is not exactly a genre defying or well known show but the laughs, the sense of family and the hope it brings is enough. And I think it's forgotten as of late that a tv show doesn't need to be prestigious or win awards to be good. Actually it doesn't even need to be that good, it's television, it just needs to make you feel a little less lonely and a little more optimistic.
The song I discovered thanks to the show and honestly it helped me during some sad as f*** times because sometimes mitski just makes it worse.

i watched beautiful boy and it was amazing. i love the way addiction was portrayed in the movie and how his father still loved and stood by him despite what he was doing and going through, i feel like sometimes (or most times) we just need someone. i relate to that movie so much, theres so much more to it ugh its soo beautiful. i recommend watching it if you haven’t its worth it
