When life starts to loop indefinitely

I sometimes wonder who is responsible for the pain people are born with, and the answer can actually be very illusory. It's just that even if you get the answer, the pain won't just go away, it will still be a thorn buried deep in the bottom of your heart, only when you are alone, you will peel off those fleshy petals layer by layer and remove the thorn. Dig an inch deeper, hide it carefully, and then smile and answer, "Well, I'm fine when someone asks "How are you?"

It is said that the power of "love" can solve all problems, but blindly paying without seeing the possibility of change will also make "love" need to be chosen, which will bring harm to more people, just like "Beautiful". Boy".

I believe that Nick's guilt towards his family is true when he is sober, but when he really can't find a way to fill the black hole in his heart, only drug and alcohol can bring color to his world, even if it is abnormally short. He said that Charles Bukowski's poems saved him because he read from the poems that the poet was as hesitant and helpless as he was, but in the end he found a meaning for himself to continue his life, which brought Nick A little light made him think that he could do it too. However, he "wake up" again and again and again and again, looking for a direction to get out of the fog for himself, but it was just escaping the real world that was approaching again and again. Whenever he thinks that he can control all of this and think that everything will be fine, a small detail around him can break his fragile and sensitive heart, tear the black hole again and even expand the scope.

“You are still the old same Nick.”

After another accident he desperately asked his parents for help, this time, he was rejected by his father.

As my ex-wife said,

“I know you feel ashamed, so do I.”

A father's love for his son is also true, but the failures again and again make the father see no hope, he does not think that the continued persistence of his ex-wife can save his son, as he has done so much before, he has done everything All I can think of is going to the street to find people, drug rehab, sending Nick to college, studying pathology, sending it to my ex-wife, and even digging out cocaine to experience his experience, but I still can't get into Nick's heart and can't save him. Son, and he has a life of his own and another family to take care of.

But his love finally drove him to his son who was admitted to the hospital again.

Whenever the father and son started arguing, and the father started to give up on him, I would think, why, why don't you hold on, why don't you be more tolerant, why can't you give him another chance, but I ask myself, if I meet myself In such a situation, he may have given up long ago, and maybe he will be left to fend for himself after the last trip to the hospital.

So stuck in the loop.

Beautiful Boy quotes

  • David Sheff: There are moments that I look at him, this kid that I raised, who I thought I knew inside and out, and I wonder who he is. He's been doing all sorts of drugs, but he's addicted to crystal meth, which seems, uh, to be the worst of all of them. And I guess I'm here because I just want to know all that I can about all of it. Know your enemies, right? So, my two big questions are, what is it doing to him, and what can I do to help him?

  • Nic Sheff: One day, I tried methamphetamine... Yeah. That felt good... and I thought, "This is what's been missing." I felt complete. Today's a good day. Yeah, I've been chasing that high ever since. No matter... how much meth... or whatever else I can find to shoot up into my body... I do, it's never enough. And I went to a couple of rehabs, I detoxed, they would talk about disease, sure, but... it never clicked. Until one day I woke up in a hospital and someone asked me, "What's your problem?" And I said, "I'm an alcoholic and an addict." And he said..."No, that's how you've been treating your problem."I know now I need to find a way to fill this big black hole in me. Anyway, so I'm fourteen months clean. I have a job at a rehab. It's fulfilling to help other people get sober. I have a sponsor, Spencer. He shows me how great my life can be sober. And, um, I still have family. My mom's been amazing. My dad's been amazing, too. I want them to be proud of me.
