Please carry your struggles with a touch of dignity. Venting doesn't always help. People treat you differently when they know too much information about you.
Sometimes, you just have to tell people, "Look, I love you, and I'll probably love you forever, but I'm no longer interested in the level of life you have to offer me. Because of that, I have to let you go. I'm not even asking you to change, I just need you to understand that you can keep doing what you want to do and how you want to do it, you just can't do it with me." You have to love people from a distance to protect your peace and let whoever think whatever.
This should be the 3rd or 4th time that I would be posting this scene.
Though, I always tell my son that I love him. But I believe that in this movie (fences), Denzel was telling his son that he loves him, without necessarily using the word "love".
Very sweet scene.
The BEST thing I learned this year was how to still enjoy my life during my storms. As long as we have life we will have problems. My entire world can be in chaos & I'll still try to find a reason to laugh and smile.
