Nocturnal Animals

It's not really a movie review, it's just moaning.

Documenting things that die eventually if I write them down they live forever.

I am both Edward and Susan

To be precise, I have the same sins as Susan, and the weakness of Edward,

And I also bear the pain of two people: the pain of Edward being cruelly abandoned by the person he loves, and the pain of Susan tossing and sleeping every night, regretting every wrong choice she made in the past.

I think Edward is still luckier than me:

At least Susan loved him so much and felt guilty after abandoning him, and I'm not even sure if her words before parting were just to make me feel less bad;

After Susan left Edward, her marriage was not happy, but she reconciled with him;

Edward's books can make Susan's heart surge, but I can no longer stir a ripple in her heart;

Edward was romantic and thoughtful, but I couldn't give me a sense of stability.

The bottom line is that I love myself more than love, and I am weak and look ahead and lose everything because I am afraid of being hurt. Every time I have a spare time and every night that requires sleeping pills to fall asleep, regret always hits like a wave, almost suffocating me. .

A year later, the memories are only getting clearer, I seem to have to talk about the rest of my life in torment and self-torture for past behavior, like Susan said I'm going to live to regret this

I have to live with this regret.

You Just Have to Live with It. Forever.
