One of the saddest things about Wish Nikki is that I can’t even hate her. Imagine being brought into existence with one purpose: to love someone more than anything, only for that person to constantly reject and criticize everything you do. From her perspective, she’s genuinely trying to be enough while sharing a body with someone desperately trying to take it back.
By the Backwards Walk scene, she’s exhausted, injured, traumatized, and completely consumed by a love she never chose to feel. Bear sees her suffering, yet keeps pushing her away instead of asking what his wish has done to her.
“I don’t like my dreams” hits so much harder when you realize she’s not talking about nightmares… she’s talking about her entire existence. #obsession
Mississippi police shot and killed a 1-year-old child who was in the car with his mother.
Autopsy reports reveal the child was shot through the side of the car, contradicting officers' claims that the car was heading towards them.
a woman with twins found out one fetus had died.
the other still had a heartbeat.
her doctor told her the truth:
“this is dangerous. you could get infected. you could go septic.”
she asked for termination because she already had two kids at home.
the hospital said:
“we can’t terminate a pregnancy with a heartbeat.”
so they sent her home.
she started leaking fluid.
then she started smelling “off.”
then she started running a fever so high she couldn’t think straight.
she came back.
the nurse said:
“you’re anxious.”
she said:
“i’m not anxious. i’m rotting.”
they gave her Tylenol and a pamphlet.
she texted her friend:
“if i die, tell people it wasn’t god. it was the law.”
she survived, barely.
after surgery. after ICU. after her uterus was destroyed.
and politicians still called it “saving babies.”
but what they saved was control.
and what they sacrificed was her body.
