It's time to plant grass for British and American dramas. Today, Amway is going to be a healing British drama about friendship, youth and growth - "My Mad Fat Diary" ("My Mad Fat Diary")
I watched it for Jodie Comer at first, but I was warmed by this show later. The protagonist, Rae, is a fat girl with a mental illness who was sent to a mental hospital for self-harm. Although she is sincere and kind, and has a high level of music appreciation, her lack of self-confidence due to being fat has hindered her everywhere in life, and she even wanted to end her own life over and over again. Fortunately, she has a heartthrob bestie Chloe who has been playing since childhood, a group of best friends who have always stood behind her, and have been silently supporting her family, as well as a psychiatrist Kester. With their help, Rae finally found a way to redeem himself in his diary, and finally no longer had low self-esteem, and set foot on the road of the future alone.
Every character in MMFD is so real, so real that we can see ourselves. Like them, we are troubled by appearance, academic performance, interpersonal relationships, etc., we will make all kinds of stupid mistakes, and we will also deal with problems in negative ways of avoiding and lying. But those shitty things, those mental breakdowns and madness, are part of each of us, and they are what make us unique in this world. "You don't need fixed ideas about who you are or where you're going. You don't need opportunities or grades or approval marks. You just have to be prepared for the chores that come your way." (You don't need fixed ideas about who you are or where you're headed. You don't need offers of grades or stamps of approval. You just need to ready to cope with whatever crap comes your way.)
Everyone is like a jigsaw puzzle, and our family, friends, and loved ones are exactly the pieces that fit us. They unconditionally tolerate our inadequacies, and even if that makes them pay more, they will always stand behind us, no matter how far we go or where we go, as long as we look back, we can always see their smiles. It is with them that this imperfect world is finally made perfect.
