I think I care very deeply. My care for other people consumes me and motivates my every day life. It’s the reason I’m pursuing the career I am, despite the economics of it all. I think it’s why I sometimes struggle in modern day dating. I don’t have a casual bone in my body — I care way too much, but I wouldn’t want it any other way. We have been socialized to not care about others more than we care about ourselves, and I fear that will be our downfall.
Engaging with myself critically has actually cost me so much of my life. I've been made to feel as if I were an idiot or simply crazy but I live apologetically and carefully because they simply do not know... I hope they know this is me caring.
highly sensitive person who has a lot of empathy over here 🙋♀️ i struggle with the same thing, i find myself having to isolate a lot because all the feelings are just overwhelming and it's so tough being surrounded by all the constant negativity in the world. don't think you should stop caring, it's also important to take care of yourself, a lot of people take advantage of people who care too much, but i still think it's so beautiful to care about others.
Sounds bizarre, but as an anxious, ambitious, type A girlie, there’s nothing that I want more than to be able to shut my brain off and have someone ‘provide’ for me (not financially, but like, metaphorically). Able to fix my computer problem? Hot. Can build me a shelf? Hot. Just generally knows how to navigate the world? Very hot. Competence is underrated.
Rewatched this on Valentine’s Day when I was feeling down and it made me giggle for the first time in weeks.
this movie is inexplicably human and to an extent everything we are told we are not supposed to do — waste away a day and fall in love with a stranger. In the end, the movie is about giving in — to ourselves, to our deepest desires no matter how impractical.
