You (S2/3) and 36 Questions

Rewatching You on Netflix, and now that I've basically memorized the podcast 36 Questions, here are Some Similarities I can't help but notice:

Couple meets and falls in love, but one of them is lying about their name

Wife comes from a rich fix-it family which she's trying to distance herself from

"Henry"

Couple splits in act iii bc they're too similar and keep running into the same problems with each other

Henry's dad can't get over his ex(es)

The “How do I let you go?”/“I think you just… live,” interaction from 36 Questions rewrote my brain chemistry in a way I think [people i know] could really benefit from.

The way it encapsulates Jase’s holding onto both love and anger, Judith’s bittersweet-ness of “it’s not all okay but I’m okay, and that can be enough for whatever is now or next,” that they both kept hurting each other at different points bc of who they are for better or worse so they were both victims and both perpetrators, how at the end of the day it really is on us to try and fill our lives with other things even if we don’t have resolution and that’s sometimes the only way to move on, maybe we move on together maybe we move on with just how we left each other, rahhhh I love this show

Aro(ace) culture is thinking your siblings also deconstructed amatonormativity, but then seeing who they become in in their exclusive romantic/sexually partnered relationships and reevaluating…. Maybe they haven’t. Or maybe none of us are immune to propaganda idk. Either way you’re a little sad and a little heartbroken

How is a system supposed to course-correct itself? It needs outsiders to disrupt it, to subvert it, to show it all it's cracks, to step up where it won't.

Maybe we see just need to see them as opportunities, as teachers, instead of criminals.

I am finding my way back to myself again. slowly, patiently, intricately. I am finding roads in between my heart and my mind that connect. I am finding melodies that taste good on my soul. I stray and i take detours occasionally, but I am finding my way back to myself again.

Being 23 in the USofA

Is pretty bleak honestly.

Society is collapsing

Nobody listens

I have no power, no prospects.

My government, my potential employers dont owe me anything even a real rejection.

It's looking forward and seeing no desireable path.

It's wanting to be at the end of life rather than the beginning.

Not even dead,

Maybe retired

on Medicare

With a steady home for the remainder of my days.

Stability.

Being 23 is trying to establish a life on quicksand

And wondering if you're just doomed to

SInk.

I never stopped feeling for you, I just stopped letting it show.

There’s no point to existence. You have to sharpen your own.

it sucks when the people you thought might get it and care, don’t. And you don’t know if it’s a fight worth your effort to get them there.

As my dad used to say,

“As boys grow up, their younger sisters get the brunt of the pain and abuse. For girls, it’s their dads.”

I wonder if it’s just that as young women age into womanhood,

They learn to recognize the patriarchal abusive bullshit their dads put their moms through.

And retaliate.

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

I found me.

Why does it hurt to lose something even when you no longer want it?
