i watched this movie the other day and haven’t been able to stop thinking about it. the feeling of being 18 and feeling so connected to your best friend, going on a road trip prompted by a passenger who ended up being the embodiment of time itself, subtle clues everywhere, the sheer beauty of it all.
i remember when i was 16 and all the cool people in town were talking about this movie. i’m glad i didn’t watch it then. the right time was now

Listen, I've watched Little Women about ten times but FOR SOME REASON, only a couple days ago when watching it with a best friend did we both start crying.
We had both watched the movie many times before, but i guess this specific time in our life where this movie found us hit different. She's in her first year in college and I'm in my gap. The overwhelming feeling of loneliness that can take over when entering a new phase in your life is UNMATCHED, and jo's monologue just hit.
Watching the movie, there are these very evident hard cuts between the warmth of childhood and coldness of the present, BUT when you actually think about it, can you recall the moment in the movie it BECOMES the present, and the color shifts? Probably not, because time is subtle. You don't wake up and suddenly realize you're a grown up who must make your own way in the world. Its more of a retrospective. Jo herself probably didn't realize her childhood was as warm and beautiful as it was.... until it was gone.
Anyways we cried and laughed about why we were crying, but I haven't been able to think about it since. I don't know where I am in the color palette sunset of warm to cold, but I will know once I've long passed it.

feels a bit sillier watching it as i get older as i myself am now detached from that weight you feel as a teenager, but it will always be my comfort movie, it takes me back to a good place

i decided to spend my birthday last year in patagonia because i wanted to go on an adventure and see beautiful things. the initial plan was to go to antarctica but that didn’t work out so i decided to go to as close to the end of the world as i could. it’s really one of those trips that make you believe in the glorious mysteries of life. exploring the wilderness while listening to black marble’s ‘it’s immaterial’ was wonderful.

if you think about it, being delusional is kind of like manifesting. it’s like maxine so beautifully said ‘i will not accept a life i do not deserve‘ ⚔️⚔️⚔️. i long for the day when delusional girls will run the world. let’s go
