We all have a messed up life

Maybe, everyone's lives are messed up, too.
Every one of us, we are all facing something that we can't deal with.
And some are just better at pretending.

Maybe so.

From the beginning of the movie, I have been scolding the protagonist. Because she couldn't recognize the way she treated life, her attitude.
I don't know why I hate her so much, I just feel angry.
Her life looks so miserable on the surface, but in fact she still has people who support her and like her. She's so blind that she can't see what she has and just focuses on what she loses.
The truth is, she's not miserable, not at all.

When she carefully knocked on the door of her brother's room, she must be very conflicted.
He came out and looked directly at her. I don't know what the sister who has always hated him will want to say.
Her eyes were a little red, and when she said her apology, it was the first time she spoke to her brother in such a soft voice.
She cried and admitted that her life was such a mess.
When she turned to leave, her brother stopped her.
Perhaps that was the first time her brother she had always hated showed her that he loved her. He hugged her tightly.
At that moment, I knew she had finally let go.

After that, I couldn't scold anymore.

What was lost, she found.
Although I still don't like the way she does things, she finds herself back.
"I miss her," her best friend said finally.
She is finally back.

Life is a mess, isn't it?
Like a pile of scattered puzzles, waiting for the day to return.

Find the courage to live and live it.

  • Darian: You're right about everything. I'm only here for me, and my life is fucking incredible. I love it. I love spending another night talking Mom off the ledge, I love only applying to schools nearby, because who knows what'll happen in the house if I'm not around to fix it, and I love...

    [getting choked up]

    Darian: that the one person who makes me feel like I could take a fucking breath... I can't have without completely destroying you. So, you're right. You're right, it's a blast. I win.
