ethan hawke said something i haven’t stopped thinking about — we usually move past art like we have no need for it, until loss enters our life and suddenly nothing ordinary can hold what we’re feeling
2019 was seven years ago, and somewhere in between, we all grew up. we changed without even realizing it. the people we were back then, the dreams we had, the fears we carried don’t fully define us anymore. some friendships faded, some memories stayed, and some lessons were hard but necessary. we learned to be more patient with ourselves, to understand that not everything goes as planned, and that it’s okay to fail sometimes. we learned to let go of what doesn’t serve us and hold on to what makes us feel alive. time keeps moving, whether we notice it or not, and we keep growing quietly, slowly, and sometimes painfully. growth is messy, but it’s ours.
goodbye stranger things and your christmas lights and your beautiful friendships and your handmade costumes and your emotional scores and your nostalgia and your message to outcasts and your ridiculous one liners
end credits like these are so important because regardless of if you loved or hated whatever you saw before, you’re reminded of the beautiful roller coaster of a journey you go on while watching film & tv.
one of the best end credits in recent memory.
I genuinely wish everyone was a little bit happier. I wish misery didn’t love company and I wish more people had honesty and community in their lives. I wish people got embraced several times a day and I wish it was just as easy to sow love as it is to sow indifference
