Struck up a conversation w an older gentleman who was walking in the same general direction as me and my husband last week and when we were parting ways he said we should visit him and his wife in Switzerland sometime, that “it is a very small country but your minds are big enough to make that part of the world widen for you” and I have not stopped thinking abt how what he said was as complimentary as it was poetic but also how he gave us no way to get in touch w him, which has just sort of added to the magnetism of our encounter…

Monster (dir. Kore-eda, 2023)

Feeling kinda empty after watching Monster. The movie is a wave of different details about living, trying to survive, becoming a monster in the eyes of others. They — the boys, the teacher, the mother — just wanted to live. To be happy. You can't be happy being a monster, or you can?

It breaks my heart thinking that the reason why Minato was so scared about the CT scan was because he was worried that his mother would find out there was something wrong with his brain and that he maybe had a pig's brain.

He was so nervous about his mother seeing the reports and thinking that her son was not normal.

His nervousness and the whole fiasco with the school situation resulted in his outburst.

And righfully so. In his defence, he had witnessed the way society reacts to anything that is "not normal". Whether it's the drag queen being made fun of on TV or his friends making fun of his and Yori's friendship.

I cannot imagine the pain this boy was under and the number of nights he spent laying awake, regretting and questioning things about himself.

having so much love in your heart is beautiful and amazing right up until you’re alone in your bedroom clutching at your chest and whimpering like a wounded dog

“When you feel perpetually unmotivated, you start questioning your existence in an unhealthy way; everything becomes a pseudo intellectual question you have no interest in responding whatsoever. This whole process becomes your very skin and it does not merely affect you; it actually defines you. So, you see yourself as a shadowy figure unworthy of developing interest, unworthy of wondering about the world - profoundly unworthy in every sense and deeply absent in your very presence.”

— Ingmar Bergman
