Stand by Me

Stand by me (1986) that ending in stand by me just feels so fcking real, like nothing big happens, they just go back home, and that’s it, but you can feel that something ended there even if no one says it, like that was one of the last times they were all together just being silly, a lil clueless, laughing at nonsense stuff, thinking it would always be like that, and they didn’t even notice it was already becoming a memory, and then you find out what happens later, how they slowly drift without even realizing it, how chris (who was actually trying to be better) just passes out like that, and it doesn’t feel shocking, it just feels unfair in a quiet way, and somehow that’s what makes it hurt more, because it makes you think about your own life without trying too hard, like the friends you used to see every day, the ones that felt permanent, and now you don’t even know when it changed, and that line about never having friends like the ones you had at twelve doesn’t feel like a quote, it just feels true, like something you understand a little too late, when all you can do is remember it... : do u think i'm weird?? : oop, definitelyyy : no man, like, seriously... : yeah, but so what??? *everybody's weird :)* — 🛤️ 👬👬 🚲 ༉‧₊˚.
