When I saw When Harry Met Sally for the first time in my early 20s, I thought it was cynical and sad and Billy Crystal gave me the ick. Watching it a second time in my early 30s tho? OMGGG I get it now. It’s not perfect and yes it has its cynicism but that’s what makes the love story so much more interesting and complicated and quietly satisfying. (and yes ok somehow Billy Crystal is a little cute 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.

i think im genuinely getting more stupid but these will now really genuinely affect me emotionally, a lot of them will make me cry. there seems to be a lot of sincerity behind all the stupid shit in the ones that were made before every character has to be so bitter and mean to each other (what i call the big bang theory effect). sometimes its good just to watch something

bc it’s what I originally wanted when I first went to college at 17 but I was scared to make writing my job and got a B.S. in Nutrition instead lol
Now the goal is an eventual PhD in Victorian Literature but I’m just happy to have made it through this part at 32!
Stacked is everything I read in my English courses—barely pictured are the 5 stuffed accordion folders of other reading materials under my chair haha
