In another life, I would have been happy just doing laundry and taxes with you.

itβs perfect. i love it. i cried three times. that is all.
i went into this with close to no context, just high expectations based off the few reviews i read. and i was absolutely blown away. honestly, this feels likeβ¦. if i was a movie, i would be this one π
incredibly goofy, completely off the rails, TURBULENT, with a surprising amount of heart and soul. i love this so so so much. it makes my heart burst, it makes me so grateful for the people i have in my life, the beautiful beautiful individuals i keep close and hold a special place in my heart, it even makes me grateful for the ghosts of my past that visit me in my sleep. it makes me appreciate it all. itβs beyond words honestly. so happy i got to see this in cinemas because it just gives you the full experience.
lifeβs fucking tough. i feel like itβs beaten me black and blue over and over and honestly? iβm exhausted. iβve been pushed to the brink of exhaustion countless times. but this makes me grateful for all of that, all my ups and downs. every single decision iβve made has led me to this moment, has made me the person i am today. and iβm grateful.
