“don’t treat me like a 3-hour brunch friend!” i related waaaaaay too hard to this entire thing and it was kinda scaring me at times on how accurately it was portraying the clumsy stumble through life that most people experience. this crave for eternal platonic friendship with people you love down to the bone but... people are moving on, moving home, finding lovers, finding new friends, pursing careers, finding themselves that no longer involve you. and despite allll of that happening you feel as though you're stumbling like a baby through life, slowly being voided out of that eternal love and admiration... not only with people but with life itself. trying to nurture a career out of your interests but going nowhere and feeling this embarrassment of being two steps behind everyone at all times, even if there's no timescale or race it still fucking feels like it when you're so so far behind. as much as this movie scared me, it also held my hand and reminded me that despite the harsh reality and the spiral of loss, losing... there is understanding.
