"It's not easy."

I watched it on the day of the premiere, also on my twenty-first birthday. I read it for the second time with my school today, and bought the original book by the way.

A perfect eight.

After reading it, the mood is very complicated, it is the kind of good or bad, half-dead feeling. The good half is because the movie satisfies all the fantasies in my heart-although the journey of coming out is tortuous, but unconditionally got the support of my parents and friends, and finally found a sunny and handsome other half, perfect. The bad half is because the truth will never be the same as in the movies - the coming out process is bound to be twists and turns, and there is a high chance that your parents will not accept all your rhetoric. The first words your classmates introduce you to other people will be "Oh, he's gay." Then a group of people will make a fart-like sound. You don't just send an email and find the perfect blue, I've been looking for the gay version of facebook for two years and can't find it. How about jealousy? Because I'm 21 and I haven't even reached a third of Simon's coming out in the movie. The only thing I have in common with him is probably the same Macbook and iPhone.

I sometimes wonder, do I really have no other characteristics, so that when people introduce me they can only rack their brains to figure out that I am gay? Or do they feel that my sexuality is my greatest characteristic? After I seriously told my "close friends" that I was a boy both physically and psychologically, they kept saying "Oh, just treat XX as a girl, he's a girl." It was they who couldn't understand human language. ? I think so. The reality is so cruel, as Ethan in the movie says, it's not easy at all.

But still wanted to give it high marks because I'm a fan of this fantasy aphrodisiac. Like all fairy tales, the movie really made me feel good for two hours. I really wanted to get stuck in that world and not come out, even if I was their classmate or any bystander in it. Just don't go back to the real world.
