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.

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

i do this with a couple in particular, whenever i feel like having a good crying session: the final scenes in call me by your name and normal people. it's pretty much automatic, especially with normal people. i know exactly what the characters are going to say and when, but i still cry every time. it doesn't matter how many times i've seen it. the scene will always carry the same emotions and be able to access the same ones within me. what a privilege it is to be profoundly moved by something.
