i love you.” “it’ll pass.”

is THE single most heartbreaking yet real and intense thing ive ever heard phoebe waller bridge u mastermind u r just like me except a genius fleabag is easily one of the most true to life and wonderfully painful tellings of mistakes that ruin relationships, mental health, religion, the chasms between family members that are caused and fixed by the love u share for them. its about extreme loss and the way that can single-handedly effect the rest of ur life and the way u think and act and how u care for others. its just so real.

the tragedy of joel's life being that he's always too late. he's too late to save sarah and she dies in his arms. he's too late to find tommy and tommy's moved on, he's grown, their family is changed. too late for henry and sam, just missed bill and frank before he could say goodbye. he is a constant spectator in people's lives and their deaths. by the time he accepts what ellie and all the others mean to him he's too late to protect them, too late to have helped her before she was so traumatized. he wakes up too late in the hospital to talk to her and the only thing he has left, the last resort of a man thrashing while he's drowning is to not let his fear paralyze him and stop him from saving another daughter. so he makes that choice, and then it's too late to take it back.

unstoppable force (wanting to be the kindest version of myself) vs immovable object (all the anger and hatred I have inside myself)

in case anyone else needs to hear this it’s ok to be more serious. i don’t just mean ‘it’s ok to be serious sometimes’ i mean in general. not everyone has to be funny. it doesn’t have to mean you’re sad or unlikeable. you can just be serious and genuine most of the time and that’s great. i personally think that we’re too focused on ‘funny’ as the primary carrier of likeability right now. i often feel starved for serious conversation, for serious spaces, for a feeling of gravity. you don’t have make good jokes to give people a good time. i say, goof only as the spirit moves you, & don’t worry about it.
