Zhukovโs entrance in The Death of Stalin (2017) is one of the all time great walk ins, Jason Isaacs owns the moment instantly, cutting through the room with pure authority.
A Ukrainian soldier burns a billboard reading โWe are one people with Russiaโ using Molotov cocktails
The video was first published during the Ukrainian counteroffensive in the Kharkiv region on territories liberated by the AFU.
My therapist told me:
โWhen a person grows up feeling unseen, they learn to love by over-giving. They pour into everyone else, hoping that, one day, someone will finally pour back into them. So they become the care taker. The fixer. The one who shows up, even when no one shows up for them.โ
And the hardest part? Deep down, they're not trying to be strong. They're just waiting for someone to do for them what they've spent their whole life doing for everyone else.
this concept broke my brain for a while because most connections seem generally fulfilling until you meet someone who makes your soul feel like it just returned homeโฆ.
Then having to be like โI may never feel that againโ is a different kind of mind altering grief.
