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 Gothās monologue changed everything. it humanized her character and made her so much more relatable to me. Iāve heard that people with BPD relate to her character a lot, which is interesting because Iāve done some research on BPD, and characters that have it. I relate to their characters, but I donāt think I relate to them in such a way that I think I have the disorder, itās 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 Iāve 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 sheās different. sheās 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

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.

Can always rely on it to help me healthily excrete my emotionsš„¹šŖcaring about people Iāve only known for 4 episodes, but theyāre hour long episodes so I guess that makes it easier to digest in my brain/heartš
But at the same time.. it makes me really jealous of their courage and confidence and certainty(in most cases). And their intense love connections.and general happiness
And WHO did the lighting and color coordinating for the living quarters area becauseš« just makes me want more space and lights and stUfff
Watching it has its pros and consāļø But I like it or whatever.
Just a jealous materialistic girl over here. whatchin Tv

this movie makes me so emotional even though itās partly a comedy. as someone who grew up with undiagnosed neurodivergence, the parallels between larsā 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. itās a reminder that we are all worthy of love and patience, and we shouldnāt settle for any less. one day we will all find our small town that loves and accepts us for who we are.

even the smallest things may not seem to matter in the moment, but when you fast forward a bit, you may be trying to grasp the memory without any luck. writing things down, taking pictures, collecting, etc. is all so important.

my parents used to judge me and think I was weird for talking to myself when I was younger. Iām sure they still do, but theyāre less vocal about it as they used to be. for context, Iām an only child, so talking to myself was nice for when I was bored or whatnot. itās also helpful for sorting through my thoughts. itās good to get things out when I donāt feel like talking to anyone in particular. I like to think of it as my own personal podcast.

Iām so glad I found this app. I was looking for a place where I can share more about myself without feeling judged by the people around me. now people can feel a connection towards me being truly myself instead of the mask Iāve been conditioned to put on for others. I imagine handing someone Iāve just met a paper with a link to this profile on it as a fun experiment
