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.

🫂• the banshees of inisherin (2022): I only reccomend this if u want to think abt the relationship and be sad abt it for a bit. especially if it is a case where nothing particularly happened you just drifted apart without explanation
• do revenge (2022): fun and lowkey cathartic movie for 17 year old me! dec helped me reconcile with the more messy and tumultuous side of friendships? idk i can't remember much abt this one i think it was just a "right place, right time" movie for me
• deadpool & wolverine (2024): yes I am being so fr rn. I saw this bc my mother was tired of me crying over the fact that my bff-of-two-years-and-partner-of-7-months had just broken up with me and for those 2 hours I forgot abt all the pain and sadness over ya know the whole dating ur off means when u breakup u lose both a partner AND a friend. but yeah it was a good wild time that even made me almost cry for ya know other non-breakup reasons :)
• in regards to the previous rec binging the x-men movies rlly helped distract me from all the emotional turmoil of that breakup
•10 things i hate abt you (1999): a good fun uplifting rom-com to ignore the world to and in my case helped me ignore the grief of some stuff over the years :)
•the muppets (2011): comfort movie to the max degree!!! makes the world feel a little less evil imo
• any one of the cornetto trilogy movies by edgar wright: the bromance between nick frost and simon pegg truly helps me remember that real love in friendship is possible. and it's funny and silly goofy. that is also a big part of my enjoyment for those movies

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.

🥼It pains me to be here. It pains me to have become this person. It pains me to know I’ve spent all of my life chasing something that was never meant for me, knowing I’ve wasted twenty two years of my life for this. Oh honey you deserve it. That’s all I hear because so many people warned me, so many didn’t believe I was good enough and I made it my life mission to prove them wrong. My high school friends never thought I would enter medical school, my science teacher in high school told me the first day to quit. And I proved them wrong I guess but what is left of me. All my life I needed to be good enough to justify all that my parents gave up for me, to justify all that I sacrificed. All my life I needed to be good enough to deserve love. I constructed all my life around the idea of being perfect for others to regret their words or for others to think I was worth loving, existing. So i’m here now with nothing that is mine, without goals that weren’t first my parents’, without love for myself that wasn’t first validation from strangers.
Now I see people making a life for themselves. People who seemed so far behind me once upon a time, built a life for themselves without misery. They grew up while I was stuck here, miserable just like when I was a sixteen. What happened?
What do I do now? I feel so fragile, so aimless, so spoiled, so ruined. All I ever did was being a good student. I am an adult now and it’s not enough anymore, I cannot hide behind books anymore. And when I took a breath I was left behind, cannot start again because if I don’t have the admiration of other people what do I have? Once I might have loved medicine.
But I don’t have it in me, the vocation to be a doctor and, after realising it, I stayed anyways. How I can come back from that? I don’t know how to begin again from nothing. All I know is I’m unhappy here, I’m unhappy with the person I’ve become. All I know is that I’m searching for the courage to disappoint myself.
I hope my mother can forgive me, didn’t make her proud
